I noticed, last night, that I'd been letting distress kind of fester at the back of my mind, and it'd really shot my mood down.  I'd been fine for a while, but I'm falling back into old habits of not looking after my emotional state. 

I grew up in a household where it was better to hold feelings in, so I'm really used to doing that, so I don't often even realise I'm in quite a lot of distress until it's got to the point where I'm really seeing things bleakly.

**[tl;dr] What do you do to tolerate distress?  Let's share some ideas.  Might be able to help each other out.**

Mine are:

* singing,
* writing a journal,
* Tarot (to look at things differently, gain a new perspective),
* cat videos,
* going out in nature,
* videogames,
* exercise,
* meditation,
* learning Spanish (Duolingo is great for this; it's free and addictive)
