Life and trauma

Re: Life and trauma

@Former-Member  The only other things that work for me is doing puzzles or playing video games to distract myself.  But i'm sure i've suggested that before.  I really don't know what else to suggest.  I know how frustrating it must be for you and so utterly exhausting.

Re: Life and trauma

@MJG017 i do puzzles in an attempt to help but nothing works. 

 

It's OK I'm not your problem to have to deal with. I'm out for now. I'm sorry. 

Re: Life and trauma

@MJG017 

Jigsaw puzzles or ones that involve a pen?

Re: Life and trauma

@Former-Member  That's okay,   Do what you have to do to get through tonight and we can chat later. 

 

I know its not my problem, as my problems aren't yours.  That doesnt mean we cant choose to offer support and share the load a bit.  I know I would be a lot worse off if I had to deal with my own crap alone.  Sorry its been such a difficult night for you.

Re: Life and trauma

@avant-garde  For me, any kind of puzzle that just gets me thinking.  My favourites would be word puzzles though.  Sometimes math puzzles as well if im feeling a bit more focussed.  I do 3D print quite a few puzzles, so I enjoy solving them as well.  Theyre mainly just trying to get a bunch of pieces to fit together.  I just get a bit obsessed if i can solve them, so it can act as a really good distraction for me.

 

Do you have any favourites?

@MJG017 

Yes, it's a brand called Pintoo, they're plastic and 368 pieces is the size of an a5, the puzzle stays together without glue so you can display it

 

I like nonograms, they're like picture sudoku

I like both word and number puzzles, I seem to be good at both, logic puzzles are fun too
