    Hi @nadinetisor

    Tori isn't about today but it's lovely to hear from you and good to know you are keeping well mental-health wise.  Pets are a great comfort and Sparky sounds like a real cutie :)  

    If you have time, you might enjoy reading our Coping with stress low mood and isolation mega-thread as this has lots of tips on how to get though lockdown, particularly on those days you might feel a bit wobbly.

    Take care and I hope we can speak soon.

    Sorry to hear about Gizmo @nadinetisor, but Sparky sounds like a wonderful furry friend! 

    I like listening to music when I'm feeling anxious too, and I've tried colouring in the past as a sort of mindfulness activity. I tend to prefer doing puzzles though. What kind of music do you like to listen to?
