    I always shower when having bad thoughts. I think the idea of washing them away helps. Have you tried listening to a happy music play list whilst showering ? That might stop your mind thinking about the bad things. There are some good playlists on spotify

    When I was on constant obs and was struggling with flashbacks I used to shower in a bikini, not ideal but it helped, I didn't feel as exposed...

    as for games to distract, I find hidden object games good, cause they need your full concentration :)<3

    hope you're okay and we're always here if you need a chat!

    Hey @ellie2000 It sounds like you are/have been experiencing some tough feelings, do you want to talk more about these? You mentioned feeling like you are being chased by something which sounds like a horrible thing to be going through would you like to expand more on those feelings?.  <3

    Through my life, ppl hav been puting weight on shoulders, and two of the big one r still here coz they weren't resolved or I didn't get told tht stuff has passed. On the days I know tht stuff happened I go in breakdown mode, I want time back where things weren't sh*t
