I like to cry when I am overwhelmed, after that I look up funnies, sometimes adding to my collection which I send to cheer up others, sometimes a YouTube comedian.

hi @Shaz51.
For me it is about walking the dog, or just sitting quietly watching tv usually with the dog be side me.
And in desperate times I like chocolate and alcohol. Probably not the best self care, but somtiemes it nails the spot

Alcohol no good for someone with major fatigue issues either @Shaz51
Makes me more non-functional.
I can't drink in social situations, or just want to go to sleep.

Walking, walking and more walking for me! It is good for both the mind and body, free and something you can do anywhere. If raining, I sometimes just walk around the shops. Other times I listen to music or have a nice bath. having a cup a with friends is nice too
