mental health research

[abacus]

Hello everybody. I'm a student and sufferer of depression & anxiety who is gathering non-commercial anonymous research about mental health and well-being for an assignment. I would really appreciate a few moments of your time to contribute.

Picture a place you feel safe, and write down any five things that come to your mind as you do so. This place can be real or imaginary, and the answers can be as random as they arrive in your mind. These could be sounds, colours, scents, objects, temperature, buildings, trees, anything at all that you experience as you think of this place.

Post your responses here or private message me, and please rest assured your information will remain anonymous.

best wishes to all, and thank you for your time

thank you both very much for your answers. i hope that yourselves and anybody else who also tries this will take comfort in doing so. i myself found it a good experience to align myself with things truly dear to me.

best wishes

Warm, hugs, breathing, bed, eggs on toast

Hmm... this is really quite a good idea.

Sunlight, warmth, fresh air, meadows, trees.

EDIT: How ironic, I don't venture out anywhere near as much as I could due to anxiety.
