Re: Coping Box
Ahhh, good one Scorpion ❤️ animals ❤️
I set $20 aside once a fortnight to treat myself out to my favourite breakfast. Then i have some thing nice to look forward to 🙂
I try my very hardest best to walk my dog 3-5 times a week as well .
Tired walking legs = a happy Baboo brain

Re: Coping Box
"Every life is a pile of good things and bad things.
The good things don't always soften the bad things,
but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things or make them unimportant."
If I can find a youtube video I'm gonna try and post it too. You don't need to be a Whovian to feel the emotion in the scene.

Re: Coping Box
I just discovered salted caramel Tim Tams today. So naughty, and perhaps a guilty pleasure that should be kept to a minimum...

Re: Coping Box
Another this is playdough great to keep my hands busy when I want to self harm
There is also pen and paper so I can either draw or journal.
I have a little stuffed beat.
There is some chocolate
I really want to add some lavender oil so I cover all my senses.
I also have a list of help lines to call if things get to much and I feel really unsafe
Other thing I use to cope that aren't in my box include music, exercise, tv, Facebook, Xbox and hanging out with friends.

Re: Coping Box
The peanut butter ones were a bit of a let down.
I love peanut butter way too much, but I don't like the tim tams.
I did however discover Whittakers make a peanut butter chocolate. Which is heaven. And even better melted into a crossiant. Mmmm...

Re: Coping Box
@redhead I love the sound of bubble mixture. Bubbles can be so pretty. I remember one time I spent ages photographing bubbles in the park. I got some great shots.
@Crazy_Bug_Lady your croissant idea with whitakers peanut butter chocolate sounds like next level stuff. Oh my... mmmmmmmm...
@SCORPION - if you get a chance, i would recommend having a try of these salted caramel tim tams. They're so delicious!
@kristin just posted some amazing links to some stuff over here, which I reckon are great tools to add to our coping boxes.
