  • Hi  and welcome.

    I think you've had some good advice so far.

    The main thing for me would be to try to be more gentle with myself and to make time for the things that soothe me...like being in nature...and keep me regulated...like my running. I too have lots of houseplants and I get a real sense of wellbeing from looking after them and seeing them thrive.

    I suppose only you know your area of interest but I would say indulge in that area as much as possible, find your joy.

    Keep reaching out on here we are always here for help and support.
