Re: what to do when feeling Overwhelmed
I like to cry when I am overwhelmed, after that I look up funnies, sometimes adding to my collection which I send to cheer up others, sometimes a YouTube comedian.

Re: what to do when feeling Overwhelmed
hi @Shaz51.
For me it is about walking the dog, or just sitting quietly watching tv usually with the dog be side me.
And in desperate times I like chocolate and alcohol. Probably not the best self care, but somtiemes it nails the spot

Re: what to do when feeling Overwhelmed
Alcohol no good for someone with major fatigue issues either @Shaz51
Makes me more non-functional.
I can't drink in social situations, or just want to go to sleep.

@Shaz51@Former-Member@Adge@Ghost@Determined
Walking, walking and more walking for me! It is good for both the mind and body, free and something you can do anywhere. If raining, I sometimes just walk around the shops. Other times I listen to music or have a nice bath. having a cup a with friends is nice too
