Managing mental health

Hi everyone,

 

I am starting this thread in the hope that members will share how they are managing their mental health during this difficult time. I feel this could help others whilst going through treatment and beyond. I also feel this is such an important topic, one which I feel would be useful within the going through treatment thread.

 

My distraction techniques have included:-

 

Binge watching drama series and binge watching films.

Listening to radio podcasts.

Cooking with a friend.

Movie afternoons with a friend.

A drive in the countryside.

Growing indoor plants.

 

Professional help has included:-

 

Accessing CBT counselling.

GP prescribing medication for anxiety and low mood.

 

 

 

Hi Anxious-Soul,

This is a nice idea, thanks for starting the thread and I hope these things are helping for you at the moment.
