Managing thoughts of suicide & self-harm

Lonely and needing distraction

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@Arbie_wun i can't wait. Something for me to look forward to. 🙂

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@Gremlin24 well I look forward to seeing your new Diamond Art too then...

@tyme actually I think I know what it is and if I am correct it takes a lot of work to get it right... with all those dots!


 

Nah, not really. UNLESS.. you buy a diamond art with SQUARE 'dots'...

 

But no. It's such a 'brainless' activity, that it's kindda soothing.

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme love how you describe it as a brainless activity 🤣.

 

It's fun but also frustrating placing one little dot down at a time. 🤣

 

I might see if I can get some pics of the ones I've done tomorrow and share them on the art thread. 

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

Hey @Gremlin24 , How are you today?

 

I've been thinking about you.

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme hello, I'm somewhat ok for the moment I think. Still very overwhelmed by my thoughts but I'm managing to keep them at bay for now. 

 

Thankyou. It's nice to know I'm cared about here ❤️.

 

How are you going? 

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

Absolutely you are cared for @Gremlin24 !

 

Hugs.

 

I'm pretty okay. Chill this morning. I can't complain 🙂

 

What did you get up to today?

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme thankyou ❤️.

 

I folded up a heap of washing that I just haven't had the energy to do. I just got back from tackling the shops so I'm trying to ease the panic attack from that. I'm chilling under my aircon with an iced coffee and I'm gonna do some colouring. 

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

Nice @Gremlin24 .

 

When I first read your post, I read that you went to the tackling shop! I was thinking you fish!

 

Sounds like it's quite warm where you are. It's so blustery here. I was going to walk the dog, but there are branches falling all over the place!

 

Hope the rest of the day goes well for you.

Re: Lonely and needing distraction

@tyme it's not too warm here. 

 

I have done some fishing but I don't like touching the fish once I've caught them and I don't eat them 🤣.

 

Sounds like a good day to chill inside for you. 

 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day too 🙂
