Hi everyone,
I have been looking into creating a "calm space" in an area of my bedroom. Somewhere to relax and unwind. This will hopefully replace my need to sleep every time I get home from work, which is messing up my already mixed up sleep. I was wondering if anyone else has created a space like this? What do you have in your space? I was thinking of lights, calm music, and things I can balance ( to focus breathing). Also I like items that I can make gentle sounds with. Would be really interested to know what everyone else uses/ does to manage their anxiety.
Have you found any particular strategies that work for you?
Thank you
Music, burning incense and herbal tea definitely help with my anxiety, as well as meditation
Thank you violetdr3amer
That sucks that you have a noisy household! Have you tried noise-cancelling headphones?
Thank you for the hugs. My family are not mean to me. They are unaware of what's going on with me, I'm not sure if I'm trying to protect them, or I'm scared of looking vulnerable, or both.
*hugs* do you live with your family? Are they mean to you?
They are on my birthday list, only that's not till December. At the moment I childishly put my fingers in my ears and hum. I'm getting tearful now, it's amazing to be able to say things and not worry about people insulting you for being weird.
