anxiety

ColourMap

I can't cope today. My anxiety levels are awful and I can't talk to anyone. I feel so alone. I just want to go to W H Smiths and get a colouring book and I can't because my friend has my wallet and I need to go but they aren't emailing me back and I need to leave the house but if I leave the house I won't have any way to contact them and I just want to go round and get my wallet but I can't go unannounced and I just feel horrible and anxious and I hate it I hate it I can't calm down.

  • Do you have paper and crayons at home?   

    Why not try to do some drawings yourself?  

    One thing I used to do was to 'take a pencil for a walk'.  So I would just let my pencil draw a line which would go round and round crossing over itself to make shapes on the paper.  Then when there were enough shapes, I would colour them in and see what sort of pattern I had made.  It was good fun, and was a good way to take my mind off other things.
