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?
Self harming https me
Not healthy but it does help.
I've been looking for alternatives but so far found nothing.
Do you like comedy? I feel a distraction (whatever it is) will help you.
Yes - I love comedy. But when I feel very bleak I can’t contemplate watching it - too much dissonance. I’ve sat here all day unable to do the things I enjoy - it’s like being frozen away from everything joyful. Like there’s a big thick plate of glass between me and life. So weird. What sort of comedy do you love? I love Alan Partridge, the IT Crowd, Motherland.
He’s such a lovely man as well as being so funny. I listened to his autobiography on Audiobook - it was so interesting.
Same!
I really like Would I lie to you - especially when it has Bob Mortimer on :)
I like a mix of stuff. Panel shows (Would I Lie to You, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Taskmaster) and sitcoms (Not Going Out, Bad Education).
