@jonathan2 recommanded a hot shower or bath. I had one, with nice smelling soap. I went to see my neighbours and had a chat. I served people coffee and was forced to be “happy”. I listened to music that made me more relaxed. I puzzled, which I picked up recently, and distracts my mind. Had a coffee too (sorry). For some reason, my mind snapped out of it.
I break out the comfort stuff, the top shelf coping deals. Mainly Marvel Box Set or the Simpsons on Disney +, or some Adult Swim on Hbo Max. I only rewatch stuff I’ve already seen when I need comfort.
I play games less because it’s too involved when I’m feeling bleh.
Hope you feel well soon. I have chronic pain that shifts with the weather and it was basically gone when I lived in the San Fran area. Got threatened by people with knives three times in two years though haha. Fun times. Me, the sane one, the schizophrenic.
Two of them were harmless and the third one I got lucky I think. I digress though.
me I am and haven’t been feeling up to doing anything or going anywhere just to have people gawk and stare at me was being ignored think I would rather be ignored sorry I asked to not to want to be ignored in my last post
My goal was to get up early, buy my soda supply at the grocery store then go for a walk at the park. I slept badly and then got up at 5:00 am drank two sodas, then went back to bed. I ended up sleeping in and getting nothing accomplished except I picked up a couple of weeks supply of groceries at curbside pickup. It’s only 11:30 am and I’m going to take a shower and try to salvage the day by going out but I don’t know where yet. I’ll probably just drive thru Jack-In-the-Box for a soda.
Back when I had severe depression and still had a uterus, I would watch movies and eat ice cream. Not the best thing to do but it’s what I did. Now that I don’t have a lady time, I talk to people on bad days.
I asked my son what he does when he is sad or grumpy. And what he would recommend someone who feels like that. He said: gaming or reading a book, so that the time goes faster. If you wanted the pre-teen-boy solution too.
