If you have a family member like mine, you might get attacked again. You know them so think about it.
So, moving on...
Write a letter/email to a friend
Write in threads you like around the forum
Take pictures (if you like that) of your cat, or nature
Play a YouTube video on a topic you like, and shut your eyes

I told my mom how I felt in a voice where I did not get loud, but told her I was hurt. She just went on to defend herself and said I'm too sensitive. Usually, I can let things slide, but I cannot change the way I feel about this. I forgive her and figure she didn't mean it to be as harsh as it came off, but this reopened old wounds and negative messages about myself that I've been battling with. Sometimes people don't realize how much certain things can affect someone.
I do like youtube videos. Thanks for the suggestions. I need to find new youtube videos that engage me, since I am currently going through a spot where everything seems kind of stale. Maybe I just need to search harder. I like comical things and calming things. I wish I could get back my motivation to do yoga. I feel so lazy, and I think part of it is depression.
