Hi Susie, I love cross stitch, Ive just asked my mum to get me some aida so i can pick this hobby up again, Ive been too anxious/depressed for months but now feel ready to start again, Jigsaws are the same for me, lol.
Its great when you can find something to help.

Hello Susie, How great that you have found a way to hope yourself cope. I was also trying to find a relaxing hobby.

I have taken up knitting again. There are some really nice patterns about just now. I have just finished 2 bolero tops.

Hi Susie,

I may try cross stitching, I have just taken up knitting and am doing a scarf, so after that will try.

Jenny, wow 2 tops, way to go.

Hi evryone!

I used to cross-stitch too, but I gave up a while back. I must start again, cos it requires concentration, so your mind can't wander onto negative things.

Another good idea is playing musical instruments or art. These are creative and provide a good outlet for your emotions, but you can deal with them in a more constructive manner.

I read somewhere that people with anxiety are more creative. Could be because we have to find something to keep our minds busy - lol
I love to crochet but can't make anything except afghans cuz all the books are for right handed people and I am a lefty - figures huh??!!

I tried rug making but soon got bored of it.
Ive tried most craft things but im useless at them.
I did an nvq 2 years ago and loved to doing the homework.
Perhaps its time i did another one.

Take care
Lynn
