On a bad day - what do you turn to for comfort?

Kate Kestrel

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?

  • Quiet, routine, structure and planning.

    or watching my favourite tv program that is comforting and familiar. 

    or some feel good safe food like cake. 

    I think it took me a long time to work out what I need in that sort of situation, especially as it varies so much depending on what it is I’m overwhelmed by. I’d try and variety of things and see which is most affective!
