Not everything works for everyone. Sometimes the opposite advice works better for someone (ie: don't have caffeine or sugar before bed may not apply to all). There's a lot of advice about adult coloring and its mental health benefits. Coloring makes me ruminate on things that make me angry and sad. Coloring makes my symptoms worse. I used to be a visual artist (painting and drawing). I decided to stop unless it made me feel good. People were "sad" about it. I guess I had fans!! But it was better for me to heal and recover, than to please people being pills over what I did with my life. Now I knit and its a much better fit. I also like birding, learning about science and social issues, jogging, and meditation. Being around others helps too (though it depends who!)

The moral of my story is to do what works for YOU. And you don't have to explain yourself to others when your needs may be "unusual."

Have a great day.
