that's sounds fun, I do digital art but works been keeping me from what I love the most. What's been your favorite coloring book?

I love to color too! I currently have 12 color books. I try to buy them anytime I see them on clearance. A few of them I've even found at 99 cent stores.

I like to do diamond paintings and work on my trauma. Allowing myself to feel and let it pass helps soooo much.

Meditation (apps like calm or head space)

Gather some pictures of yourself as a little kid as a reminder of who you’re fighting for. You got this :)

I do adult color books and puzzles. Sounds a bit odd, but they give me a sense of accomplishment (outside of normal day to day things) which lifts my moods.

The Sims. I get sucked into it and 5 hours later I'm okay 😁

Hiking and video games help me.

I engage in my hobbies. Reading, writing, music, sometimes exercise, cosplay and video games. I try to do some self care as well, such as showering and my skincare routine.

I play video games and listen to music. I tend to shut out the world and drown out my problems (which isn't the healthiest) but it helps a lot.
