We all have really bad days and when I do I often feel I’m floundering and don’t know where to turn to find some comfort and make the world feel like a less completely hostile place. What strategies do you use on those days when everything feels completely overwhelming and bleak and you’re feeling hopeless about life? What helps?
I find looking at some of my old photos really helps to lift my mood on a bad day. They are a visual reminder of the things I enjoy when I am able to get out and about. Even if I can't get out that day the images remind me of good days in the past and give me hope that more will be to come.
I used to try and do that with old birthday cards from friends but it didn't seem to lift me much.
That’s really helpful - thank you. I’m going to do that tomorrow. X
