[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 470041, member: 11235"] When I get into a bad space I literally give myself NO down time. It's the only way I can function and not sit around and cry. If I'm just sitting at home and I start to lose it I make myself get up and walk the dogs- the poor dogs get so tired when I'm having bad days! I clean, clean, clean and I hate to clean, but I do deep cleaning and clean out closets or the shed or the yard! I read. I will bring home 5 or 6 books from the library to make sure I have one I really like that keeps my mind busy. I'm not a real social person, but I do go out for a drink or to lunch with a couple of very close friends who know my situation. Sometimes getting on here makes me feel better because the people here understand and I see the situations others are facing. And when I do lose it and just start crying I lay on the floor and at least one (usually all three) of the dogs lays down by me and licks my face or just gives me a goofy look, so I can't feel bad for long! Stay busy, busy, busy. I wish I was crafty or artistic because I would love to immerse myself in making something, but I don't really have the talent or patience for that, but that may be a good idea for you. I also do crosswords and jigsaw puzzles. Seriously, anything that keeps me busy and moving forward is what I will do. And yes, I have been known to read a tabloid magazine now and then, which definitely takes my mind off my worries and is a total guilty pleasure! Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
