Seeking Comfort for Hopelessness

What do you do?

Sleep, crying and crying until I fall asleep, something sweet - not a lot but a favourite candy or two, watching my favourite TV series that I've seen dozens of times over. Hot shower, hot tea. Calling my mom or my best friend just to listen to them talk about random things. Drawing or anything that makes you really really focus. I also like just being around friends and listening to them talk. I don't participate much in the conversation but sitting there and listening to the voices and their stories make me feel much less alone. It's distracting and calming. Comfort for me, tends to be warm and with people who can provide distractions. But at the same time, there are times when I think wallowing can feel really good and therapeutic. Take it easy on yourself. Ultimately, be kind to yourself.
