@scared01 this is a cool idea for a thread! I've used some of the ones you've listed as self-care ideas as well. I also like to take naps, especially since my sleep can be pretty bad at times, and I also make sure to exercise regularly as self-care too. There's probably some good self-care ideas in 1000001 COPING STRATEGIES & DISTRACTIONS and Today I practiced self care by... as well ... View more

ooooh @May_ sounds amazing! I love a good smoothie breakfast. What did you put in it?   Today I practiced self-care by spending some time outdoors in the sun :) ... View more

@ErinsAntics I find it pretty difficult to watch anything too heavy or creepy in large amounts, like The Sinner, or Black Mirror. A light show like Brooklyn 99 I would recommend (along with everyone else who recommended it heh) I just started watching Vox's Explained - it used to be a Youtube series but it's been added to Netflix. It's a documentary series but its not too intense or serious, so it's a good watch if you want to watch something factual but not think too much. ... View more

Hey @sonamadnani, welcome to RO! This is really wonderful post, and I definitely agree with you on how a simple quote can really help our moods and help support other people.  Just FYI, I've noticed you're posting here from India! RO is an Australian-based site, so while we might be a little limited in how we can help, definitely feel free to browse our resources :) ... View more

@scared01 oooooh yes I love Milo! I haven't had it in a while actually, maybe I should pick some up from the shops tomorrow (it's way too cold outside to go to the shops now LOL) ... View more

Hey @scared01, sorry to hear you're not doing so well today! It's good to hear you're doing the best you can - what are you thinking of doing today for your own self-care? ... View more

I'm also going to struggle to list my all-time favourites, so I'm just gonna name three that are on rotation at the moment (except for Drake, but that's only because Scorpion just came out): Janelle Monae - I've been obsessed with her since I was in high-school, and now that she's recently come out with Dirty Computer and just really publicly embraced her bisexuality I love her even more   2. Aaliyah - super chill and smooth and basically the embodiment of 90's fashion, plus I'll never get over her voice   3. Beyonce: I don't think I need to explain (hehe) but she's one of the few artists I've continued to listen to since childhood. ... View more

@letitgo that sounds like a pretty cool collection of stories! Let us know what you think :) ... View more

I do a lot of arts and crafts when I get bored! Right now I'm re-purposing old magazines and stationary into decorative paper. I'm also going to get back into knitting, once I find my needles hehe. I also play games like Entanglement or do quizzes like this plant personality quiz  ... View more

Hey @AmaraLilee, welcome to RO :) I'm so sorry to hear how you're feeling at the moment, it sounds like you're feeling really overwhelmed and not sure how to cope anymore. Have you been able to talk to anyone about what you're going through? Perhaps someone you trust, or even a professional like a psychologist or counsellor.   If you feel like you need a support service to talk to you can contact Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Lifeline (13 11 14). They can help you out, especially if you feel like you might harm yourself.   ... View more

@scared01 that sounds like it must have been exhausting, especially if it hasn't subsided at all for the past few days. Have you been able to talk to someone about it, or see a professional about how you've been feeling? Also, are you feeling safe tonight?  ... View more

@May_ I read The Female Eunuch a while ago!! It was pretty interesting, and parts of it were a revelation to me as well. I should probably read it again as a refresher. I also picked up copies of Holding the Man by Timothy Conigrave and The Hate Race by Maxine Beneba Clark, which I'm pretty keen to start now that I don't have to study. ... View more

Hey @Matty D, like @mrmusic said it sounds like you have a pretty good mindset in place to deal with rude incidents like that. I'm glad today's been good so far! What have you been up to? ... View more
