What are your favorite distractions during a stressful time?
Whether you're mid-flare or worried about the future with psoriasis, we all feel overwhelmed from time to time. What are your favorite ways to distract yourself during uncertain times?
Watching YouTube is a good distraction for me, especially if I'm feeling worn out and can't do much else. If I have the energy I love video games - immersing myself in another world or focusing on solving puzzles, etc. Also playing the piano when I can. What about you,
? These are all great distractions! Wow, that's awesome you play the piano, I would love to learn how to play an instrument somedat. Lately, I've been distracting myself by reading, cleaning my apartment, cooking, baking and calling friends. Maybe I should learn how to play an instrument, though? Thanks for sharing,
! , I wish cleaning was one of the ways I distracted myself!! They are all great distractions too. I'm not the best at cooking but sometimes I do like to make soup - something about mindlessly chopping vegetables is good for me. I would totally recommend trying to learn to play something, although of course that often comes with its own stresses! 😉 , We have a keyboard and bongos in the apartment but I don't think our neighbors will appreciate that! I completely agree though, chopping veggies, and cooking helps me forget about any stressors. It keeps me sane! If you find a good soup recipe, let me know. Take care, Sarah, Pso Team Member
Listening to music has always been a distraction for me. Some great tunes from the '90s which I can just put my headphones into and listen to.
Otherwise, I do enjoy a good chat. Chatting about how stressful psoriasis can be can be really great I find. - Jack, Community Moderator.
