Coping techniques
Posted September 11th 2015 at 09:27 AM by David Armes
There are many techniques that are available to use for you and finding the right one for you is vital. You can have more than one if you need it but its vital it is you that picks it as otherwise you will not get better.
I have a lot of suggestions that I think will help you but there are others out there:
Plan a party this can be very useful for those who have a lot of friends who help and want to take your mind off the mental illness. Be careful what you pick to do as going over the top could end badly put a little party can be a massive help to you.
A memory box this can be filled with whatever you want it to be. I have one which is filled with all my memories which is nice to have especially on a bad day. Though dont put things in that could make you depressed th ough as that wont help at all
Stuff that you can grasp old toys are a great for this. If you feel down just find something that you can cuddle. This is useful and sometimes can really change your moods to the better.
Watching your favourite DVDs This can take your mind off things for a while at least. In my view distractions are the best because of the time that they take. Make sure though that they are happy and positive DVDs as otherwise it could make you feel even more down.
Sleeping can really change your mood because you can fell very refreshed and can make you feel more positive.
Eat what you want as that is vital even if it is snacking. The energy is important to have
Just chill out and relax the number of times people have said that to me and somehow I find that it does help even if it is hard but of course that brings me onto the most important one that I have found
Call a friend or relative no one should be forced to feel left out and loneliness is one of the worst things that can happen to a person but calling someone helps as you have that contact .
You need to find the correct techniques for you but it is easy and you wont realise it until you find it but it is easy and can make a real change.
