Name change, and "tender" days

forevermyfenix

Good morning all,
I changed my username due to it being too close to some others that I used to use and not wanting someone to stumble across my posts. I was previously artgeek009.

I'm having what I call a "tender day" where I'm more emotionally sensitive than usual. One of those things where I can't pin point a trigger for my sensitivity, but still need to be "handled with care" so to speak. On these days I usually spend more time than usual bumping and googling loss community blog posts. What do you do on your "tender days ?"

I do the same sorts of things on days where I'm extra sensitive. I also try to do something nice for myself, like grab a fancy coffee, take a hot bath, or get acupuncture or massage. I hope you can treat yourself in some small way today. ((hugs))

((Hugs)) I find myself bumping on my super sad days. The outpouring of love and strength from the ladies here really helps. If not that, I go shopping. Target always seems to have a little something to make me feel just a smidge better

@rslh10 oh, yes. The dangers of Target on a broken heart...

((hugs)) I hope you are able to take a little time to take care of yourself today. I tend to turn to Harry Potter on my dark days. It's become a ritual.

I usually end up doing something for myself on a "tender" day - whether it's taking a hot bath with some bubble bath, binging on chocolate, or watching a good movie/show.  I also find I'm on the Bump more on those days.

I'm feeling especially tender today. I'm going home, pouring myself a big glass of wine and making pancakes for dinner. I'm actually happy that H is out for the evening because I think the alone time will help.

((Hugs)) I hope you/me/we feel better soon.

I try to find a yoga class to go to and then try to stay busy (but not stressed cause then I'll cry all over some unpredictable person who may or may not know me). I need to keep my mind busy.
