edited January 2019 in Positivity Corner
Loads of ways to try to cope in the moment so thought this could be helpful to read. Dont think matters if repeat stuff or anything  
Any coping skills/ or ways to take a break 
“And 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.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Finding an immersive video game and getting lost in it.
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
