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.

Physical

1) Get enough sleep.

Challenge #7

In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

The Oxford Dictionary defines fandom as being 'the state or condition of being a fan of something.' Which is a fancy way of saying that fandom doesn't exist in a vacuum and is based on something else.
Even if you're not a creator, there are many things that enhance your enjoyment / knowledge of your fandom, or fandom in general.

This challenge is interested in those supplemental things. What supplemental things do you enjoy, read, use as research, connect with fellow fans on? We're looking for anything that adds to your enjoyment of your fandom(s). Wikis, web sites, videos, software, games, books, people, communities... anything!
There are some great fandom resources and communities out there and we'd love to see what they are.

Today is mostly sunny and cool.

I fed the birds.  I've seen a large flock of sparrows, a flock of mourning doves, several cardinals, and a squirrel.

This poem came out of the November 2, 2021 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from [personal profile] chanter1944 and [livejournal.com profile] rix_scaedu. It also fills the "Therapist" square in my 11-1-21 card for the NCIS Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with [personal profile] fuzzyred, [personal profile] ng_moonmoth, [personal profile] janetmiles, and [personal profile] edorfaus. It belongs to the Trichromatic Attachments thread of the Polychrome Heroics series. It follows "The Things You Do," "Never Accept an Apology," "Spiraling Out of Control," and "The Fourth for My Enemies," so read those first or this won't make much sense.

Warning: This poem contains intense and controversial topics. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It includes problem drinking, drunkenness, vomiting, anxiety and suspicion due to past bad experiences, skittish supervillain is skittish, frenemies, awkward conversations, consent issues, trust issues, various medical details, staggering, hangover while still drunk, sponge bath, superpower control issues while drunk, metabolic differences, and other challenges. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

Among the skills heroes need, physical first aid is among the most common. Minor injuries are common, and moderate ones aren't all that rare. Everyone should at least attempt to learn the basics. If this isn't something you're good at, however, there are a few other options: 1) Stay out of the way. This is always more helpful than running around in a panic. 2) If you're good on the phone and expert help is needed, you can volunteer for that. 3) Stock supplies for more experienced people to use. In a crisis, always select a task that you can do well.
