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?
Hi,
I have a comfort item - a special bear that I cuddle when I have a bad day. I got this bear when I was 6 and he's my go to thing when I need that extra bit of support on bad days.
Failing that, I'll go to my mums grave and talk to her. Though she can no longer reply being there I can imagine what she's saying, and that helps too.
I'm sorry for your loss but it's lovely you can still turn to your mum for support
That shows what a special bond the two of you have even now :)
