Number 14, ask for help ....

I finally started using this one. It was so hard for me to actually ask for help, yet I was always there whenever anyone else needed help.

I finally realised that I too need and deserve help, at times....

Thank you @@Inner Surfer Girl,

Great reading xxx

This is a great list! Thank you for sharing. I am going to bookmark it so I can come back to it when I am having "one of those days!"

I will definitely take a mental health day from work if I'm struggling. Sometimes that's the best thing I can do for myself.

A lot of great techniques - thanks fior sharing!

Thanks for this. I really needed to find something like that today.

I've been so depressed lately it's almost paralyzing.

I think it has a lot to do with the loss of comfort. Small things you do to make yourself feel better. Like go out to dinner with friends, have a soda, go shopping or whatever.

I can go out, but the reward isn't the same. I'm desperate for clothes, especially now that the seasons are changing. I'm in a size 8 or 10 now. Nothing from last year fits and I'm still losing, so no point in buying clothes unless I need them for something specific.

I used to have lovely clothes that fit me well and made me feel pretty. I'm a vintage clothing collector, so my wardrobe was carefully cultivated over decades. I had been the same size for over 20 years.

Now, nothing fits. No point in buying lovely dresses. I want the comfort I used to get from curling up with a pint of ice cream. But, I know that it would be no consolation now.

I'm feeling sorry for myself. I know that. It's nice to think of other ways to find comfort until I feel more like myself.

This sounds like a great list, but the link is not working on my phone. Could you repost the link?

The link isn't coming up for me right now either. Maybe the site is down.

It seems the problem is with the mobile app. Just google 101 ways to care for yourself, it's the first result

OR on iPhone, click link then touch the icon at bottom that is square with and arrow. Open in Safari

I did, but the link wasn't loading from Google.

Thank you...I'll try that. Sometimes these apps can be so temperamental

What I meant is that even with Google, the article isn't loading on the website. I don't think it's this app, I think it is a problem with the original link/website.

Yeah, I think you're right. I had the same issue...just a blank screen, for the most part.

I got it. Thank you for sharing

Yes, I am finding Goggle and YouTube playing up often these days.

Google owns YouTube, and it is tad annoying when both don't work at times.

Google just had a new version/update recently, and since then some issues have come up .....

I tried these sites both on my Mac and PC, and iPad, and the result was the same ..... stuff ups!
