I color or do something else creative/artistic when I'm overwhelmed. Origami and knitting are 2 of my new favorites. Sometimes I set a timer for 10 minutes and just start folding paper. The end result doesn't matter, it's 10 minutes of purposely focusing my head and hands on an activity I find soothing.

I know you didn't ask for a suggestion. I just think you need a few minutes to put your needs and wellbeing as a priority.
Thank you So much and I will. He works tomorrow so I have the day to myself. Yay.
