Help-yo-self

I’ve spent lots of time figuring out what can help my anxiety and depression, I like trying to do something, something with tangible rewards so I can say to myself ‘yes I feel like sh*t but look what I’ve done’. I’ve found that sometimes it’s a loooooong dog walk (that’s really rewarding but high effort), sometimes it’s wordsearch/sudoko, sometimes it’s vegetating watching a sitcom for the 100000th time (looooow effort). But I always come back to my crochet! I can sit with a film on and crochet for hours whilst completely ignoring my surroundings! At the moment I’m working on a blanket for my sister for Christmas, in the past I made myself a blanket and a scarf and soon I’ll be starting ear warmer headbands! Making myself feel busy slows down the dark spiralling thoughts
