I start smoking cigarettes again.

I had quite smoking, then when my live-in boyfriend died suddenly 9 months ago and I was all alone sitting in my grief I just didn't care about anything and bought some cigarettes.

They calm me down and keep my sanity. I don't drink or do street drugs. Everyone has something they do.

I even told my doctor I started smoking again after Patrick died. He said yeah, you two were quite a good couple. Patrick was concerned about my health and always went in the room when I had a doctor visit.
He didn't harass me and tell me to quit. It's like he perfectly understood why I started again.

I don’t usually get sad, however there are times when shit happens and bang in sad. I tend to do running, sports, a lot of mountain biking, hang with friends, my sister, yes and a few bottles of Hendricks, Ardbeg etc. I’m better as an adult handling it, as a teen it was often sharp things 🙄

long hot shower with my favorite songs, so I can sing my lungs out under the shower... I can cry there or swear... but hot water relaxes muscles... so after some time I'm ready to look the reality into eyes :D

if it's really bad... I go for a run... as long and exhausting as possible

Before, I tend to isolate myself. But that would make things so much worse, lol. So I go out, walk, listen to music or podcasts, journaling, or just myself make a cup of coffee.

I'm rarely upset, but I received news just before which has left me feeling rather down. I've been walking around the house backwards and forwards like a zombie ever since!

I don't eat much, so It won't affect my eating habit.
