Like many here I guess, I have been feeling empty and pointless, not being sure what holds me from doing something stupid. I'm lucky in so much as having a very supportive wife and thus far a decent t... But bad days are exactly that - bad. The calming and distraction techniques given by my t sometimes work, but some triggers are more powerful than others and I can find myself spiralling into a surreal state before I realise I should be doing this or that.

As such I've decided to set myself two long term goals (months to a year) that will be something for me that I enjoy... And will be a reminder to me that should I do something stupid, they won't be completed. Hopefully this isn't daft and another case of kidding myself... And one is a social situation (grimace.. I don't really like people all that much).

Going to take up archery (used to enjoy it while at Uni) and the one that is more likely to be stuck to as solitary - write a book, a fictional novel.

Curious if any else here have at least one thing that holds them as an anchor... Selfishly I guess from my side in so much as knowing it's helped others... But it would be nice as well to hear how others have found something that they can hold on to.
