Feeling worth it to have good things and workable pleasant personal spaces is huge for me too. I make a little progress and slip back but then push forward again. I am accepting it as a thing that I am so ambivalent about everything, and not so self whipping about it.
I second @Adek Make your space work better for you.
There are so many of us interested in music, art and writing. You dont have to post details but it is why I have a strong conviction that this modern society needs to listen more closely to its creatives who also may happen to be individuals who struggle with mental health.
I was interested in photography in the past, but somehow could not transfer my interest in it to include digital tek. I am alright with that.
Getting suicidal ideation out of our internal world and pulling it apart a bit has been necessary to me. That it can be done without over-reaction or minimisation and put down is important too.
I will look up your mention of "urge surfing" sounds relevant to me somehow.

hello @eudemonism thank you my friend for respecting my request and letting all of your friends here know that you are safe
I too think that the creative side of our brains is so very underestimated
for me believing in my own abilities has stopped me from even trying art in the past
I would love to have a room set aside where I can make one huge artistic mess and walk away leaving it like that until my next visit
changing a few rooms at a time...with some help moving heavy objects so as not to injure yourself..is a brilliant idea
perhaps start with the most important to you? what are your thoughts?
you dont need expensive or lots of furniture...just more dusting....minimalism I think is the new buzz word and just adding your own ideas...
You have many interesting hobbies and much goal setting for your days...
I find that if I start with one aim for the day....if achieved...I am happy with that and dont beat myself up about what not done....a work in progress..
I work very hard at not setting myself up for failure or self-criticism as my negative thinking just seems to be waiting to move in. I am working hard at not taking notice of my negative thinking..saying hello to it and then telling it to go ...not wanted
hello all....hope that you are all travelling as well as possible
how do you deal with daily stuff?
