    Hi @independent_

    Aww, thanks so much for your compliments. I do try to be kind and supportive and I am glad you think I am!

    It is often the worst when little things build up into thinking everything is all bad. Are you able to unpick all of the little things? This could be on here, to someone you trust, or in writing.

    The most important thing is that you have already recognised that you are in a bad place and you know what has caused this. Identifying what is wrong can help you to find strategies for managing each.

    A coffee, snack and potentially shopping later sound like a great plan! My plans are to listen to music :)

    @GreenTea I like spiced rum as well. Havenā€™t had it for aaaages actually though I do have some in the back of my cupboard somewhere.

    @Laura_tigger82 thatā€™s true, Iā€™ve tried to recognise it and deal with it but itā€™s hard. My partner has been great, heā€™s listened to my half hour long rants about all the little things several times this week lol. Ooh Iā€™ll probably listen to some music too, what kind of music do you like?

    Ooh, what song is that from @GreenTea? :)

    Of course, it is hard @independent_ and I am really sorry to hear you are experiencing a tough time. I am really glad to hear you have someone who you can trust and talk to though <3

    My music taste is wide-ranging and varies from Bring Me The Horizon and Eminem to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran and some country music too! What types of music do you like?

    I hope we can help to distract you @GreenTea. What do you normally find distracts you? For me, it is music, movies, colouring, and warm baths!

    I will probably go buy some more wine before Christmas @GreenTea, prosecco especially!!!

    @Laura_tigger82 ooh, my music taste is very similar, I donā€™t like any specific genres, if I like a song then I like a song. There are no limits. But I do especially like upbeat dance and hard style music. But I also like Ed Sheeran. My playlist is very random.

    Amazing to hear @zaynab_5, what are your favourite songs? :)

    Our music range sounds very similar @independent_ :3

    What are your most frequently played songs at the moment? I would be interested in hearing everyone's responses to this question too!

    How are you feeling about your mocks at the moment @zaynab_5? You sound really determined which is always great to hear! Just make sure you take some time off for you too over this break <3

    You have got this @GreenTea

    Do lists work for you?

    I know my automatic motivator is to-do lists! =)

    So many good songs @zaynab_5 !

    I would agree with most of yours.

    For Taylor Swift, I would add Our Song, I'm Only Me When I'm With You, and The Best Day :)

    Do you have tasks that are due soon? @GreenTea
    Timetables are useful too, I recently stuck mine on my bedroom wall.


    Nah no deadlines. Mostly just tidying

    That's a good thing about lists @GreenTea. You don't need to allocate time for tasks but you get the pleasure of crossing things off your list and ticking them off =)

    The other thing I enjoy is putting on my wireless headphones and dancing along to music whilst doing chores.

    I sense a Taylor Swift day for you @zaynab_5 ! So many good songs and albums <3

    And that's okay @GreenTea. We all like different things and different things work best for us all.

    How do you normally motivate yourself @GreenTea? With rewards afterward is another possibility? =)

    Hi
    ā€œAnd when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.ā€ ~ Kirsten Corley
