Folks have mentioned an interest in questions and conversations that make them think. So I've decided to offer more of those. This is the current list of coping skills.

7. Watch cute kitten videos on YouTube.

I especially love Cats vs. Christmas.

Thank you for all the fantastic links! It's going to take me a while to make my way through them all, but there is a lot of useful stuff here.

I find having a starting point helps; then I don't feel so lost when trying to work through everything. Thanks again for your work on finding these links :)

*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service.

Don't try to do everything at once. Just grab something that looks good and try it out. If it doesn't work, you can try a different thing next time.

That is very good advice. I'm thinking I might start with the links that give more information on identifying and vocabulary for emotions; that is a weak spot of mine.

That sounds like an excellent starting point. Once you've learned as many new emotion words as you want for now, you could pick one and do exercises with it, like drawing an emotion or whatever.

Oh! That sounds like a very good way to get practise with the new words, and identifying the feelings.

There are lots of different exercises to try with emotion words. Look at characters in a movie or book and try to describe what they are feeling. Make an abstract rendition of a feeling. Use the word in a sentence or write something about it. That sort of thing.
