I try to
always have flowers, but I haven’t had any for over a week and so this afternoon I went to Tesco just to get some.
(It also means I go into a shop, which I have to make myself do because otherwise I just wouldn’t)
It’s truly my absolute favourite self-care. And that’s what it is. I don’t look at it as a treat, I look at is as a necessity to give me something beautiful to look at if I need grounding.
I only ever usually buy the £3 roses and £3 freesias, or the £5 rainbow tulips, and they always last well over a week, so I figure that’s better than a bottle of wine or a load of chocolate! (I might buy that too but shh)
The act of going and choosing the ones I want on that day makes my brain focus for a few minutes, too, and shuts out all the other noise for a little while.
I recommend it to you all, buy yourself the damn flowers
Trying to hold it all together today at work. Not long got in. Had a long shower- a cry.
The anxiety has been bad this weekend. I don’t know why or how. Always there, like an inner voice that won’t leave me alone.
I’ve been working on eating better but then I overeat. Been trying to drink more water.
Tomorrow is a new day
@Good Egg hope the anxiety from the weekend has settled a little? Well done on the shower, that can feel impossible sometimes.

I'm having a real stressfull time at the moment, which I know will end up with me being bad, I don't know what to do about it, it's so frustrating, I'm still in bed, my head is mashed. Hoping to speak to someone later to get their take on the situation, but at this moment I just want to crawl away and hide.
Hugs to you all on here x
@Maid22 how are you doing? Did you manage to speak with someone? Share your stresses here, if it will help

Best of luck with therapy xx
My husband is taking his dad BACK to the hospital again as he's not happy with him - this is the 3rd time in a month
@Fanny Muchmore hope your FIL is okay? So much on your shoulders with no break for you
From your earlier post - I hadn’t heard of sound healing, it looks fab. So pleased you liked it.
