Good Morning Bluesky! I got hit with a hard low over the course of the first month and a half of 2025 but I kept myself moving forward AND sober and I’m starting to come up out of it, finally. Colouring has been my saving grace along with my usual art stuff. What gets you through the low times? - ThreadSky

All in on the art

It saves my bacon every day.

Writing, reading, binging shows like Blown Away or Glow Up, cooking (because handling knives feels good), staying connected with community who I know are going through similar things, and staying inspired by following Fetch as you've taught me. 😁

I am absolutely LOVING all the low impact, high vibe competition shows! They’re soooooo wholesome!

For me, it's music. I try to start each day w a new piece 🎵🎵I've not heard before, & then choose a few I haven't heard in years. All kinds from jazz, classic rock 🎸 to Classical 🎹🎻 Classical music is probably 60%. Also, time gardening & with our fluffball

BOOPS THE SNOOT!

Keep hanging in there!
My coping:
Walking in nature, which makes winter harder 🫤
Meditation, even just a few minutes, there are lots of different types.
Art; making it, viewing it, talking about it.

I want spring so badly so I can get out there and soak it up!

My AM practice: journaling/meditation/SPAD reading. Into the day and stay creative:writing/photog/music. Old man puttering: oil changes, tractor work, gardening. NA meets 2x week...

Music, dogs, cats, coffee, books and sarcastic humor…that’s what gets me through the dark days. I hope you are well my friend!🙋🏼‍♀️

I am upright and not crying today! <3 and same with the humour! :)

vmob65.bsky.social•5 days ago

Good! I’m glad you’re not crying! I never thought I’d be so grateful for being so mad, I’d have plenty to laugh about! Keep smiling beautiful friend…we’re all in this cesspool together!

Honestly, anger is the best. It’s so healthy!

Music, both listening as playing(guitar). My massagechair. Cycling. Walking. Reading. Petting doggos. Talking/ventilating. Nerding out. Breathing exercises/meditation.

Music is LIFE!

whitehatshark.nl•6 days ago

It is! I literally can say that a guitar saved my life quite often! But also music memories, I had so many great live experiences. Most disappointing was Robbie Williams though, it sucked so much that I left the performance

I've been glittering shoes since mid-January in prep for riding in the Krewe of Muses parade in New Orleans. (The glittered shoe is our signature "throw" and we give them to the crowd.) It's kept my brain occupied for the most part.

I looooooove this! One day, I’ll be there for Mardi Gras!

iamcairelle.bsky.social•5 days ago

Let me know when you're headed down, I'll give you the scoop on some things!

effybird.bsky.social•5 days ago

Squeeeeeee!
