What makes you happy/gets you through?

[shotokansho]

The first and foremost is the love of my two sons. My karate training, this helps me let off a lot of steam. My little dog and my friends. When i'm having a bad day i know i can ring my friends for a chat and they always know how to make me feel better. Walking my dog is nice too and relaxing, meeting other dog walkers and having a chat.

What makes you happy or helps you get through those bad times?

For me it is my wife and children. Without them I think I would by now be spending most days in bed not wanting to wake up but the thought of them pushes me to try to get better.

All the best

PS I can't believe it is now 22 years since I did Karate. I used to be such a fit lad.

An engrossing read, magazines, movies, stand-up comedy shows, Wii boxing, driving, stormchasing, hiking.

I suppose it depends.... a nice day out somewhere can distract me all day and prevent me from even having a panic attack

If Im feeling anxious, I think a chat to a friend can also work... I have to make sure im not on my own to get lost in my thoughts....
