soooo...
This is a tad awkward but basically I need distractions!
I've gone through a really weird break up that I have no idea what actually happened and it's caused some bad mental problems. Anyone thats a guru in this sort o thing feel free to hit me up cause no one in my life seems to understand whats happened ahah.

Either way! I need distractions and netflix can only do so much and the same with overwatch. Can't seem to get my head into drawing and I'd love to be part of a community again since I kind of disappeared from a lot of them. (darn you tumblr and your dying community! *shakes fist*)

Any suggestions would be grand!

@gh0stknife find a hobby you enjoy! like gardening or sewing! i find this helps me a lot whenever im not feeling great.
no idea for relationship/breakup type advice tho, never been in one.

@Charbar all my old hobbies i cant seem to do anymore, i can't garden either because the whether is horrid! That and i deal with flowers at my job all day XD

@Nephos
I've been trying that, manage it for a bit and then it becomes a tip in like 2 days ahaha but hopefully if i keep repeating it, it'll help!

• Reading / Writing (however, beware of dwelling!)
• Hanging out with friends?
• Think of the wonders of the world: The mysteries of space!! The ocean!! The Arctic!! Etc!!
• Look up some pretty places / vacation spots you can go in future ( Switzerland, France, Hawaii, Brazil, )
• Roleplay? If you like doing that. Sometimes forgetting your current life and pretending you’re in another, better one helps
• Clean/Organize your room or even just a folder. It’ll make you feel accomplished and responsible :)
• Meditate. Recollecting yourself every now and then helps you stay grounded. Insence smells sometimes help!
• Give yourself a break. Have some of your favorite foods, go watch your favorite movie, etc.
• Food! Try some new foods or learn some recipes!
• Listen to some music. Do pick the correct genres/songs though, some to keep you going in the day and help fall asleep at night; no sad songs!


Basically, if you really need to get your mind off the situation, focus on either yourself or new things for yourself. Who knows? You might find a whole topic you will decide to make into a career! Most importantly, know that there’s always something to do. Always.

Exercise! Try a new class in a kind of exercise you've been wanting to try if you can afford it. If not, look up some new exercises on the internet to try at home.

Types that spring to mind:
Yoga
Martial arts (karate, Tae Kwando, jujitsu, Krav maga, etc.)
Rock climbing
Barre
Zumba
Swimming or water aerobics

BTW, breakups suck and don't always have logical reasons for happening. You may never know the "why" of things, but such is life. It sucks, but don't let it keep you from truly living. Hope you feel better soon!

plot to take over the world!
(dont actually try to execute your ideas, but the plotting part is whats fun)

sleep

look at old family photos

make a quick costume of your favorite character

make origami

find the strangest way possible to make a pitched musical instrument (example: different amounts of water in a blender makes different pitches when blended!)
