Earlier this year, my mom gave me the coolest gift, an adult coloring book. She thought it would help with my anxiety, and she was right. She knows how perfect I like everything to look and she thought that this would be the perfect way for me to do that. Coloring allows me focus on one thing and gives my mind a break. I love it! I haven’t been able to color in a several months due to an injured arm/wrist, but I can do it again.
When I’m coloring, I lose track of time. Nothing else seems to matter. The only thing that I’m thinking of and concentrating on is the coloring. I plan on doing more coloring. It works just as good as Valium. When I’m home and having an anxiety attack, I will color. I will only use Valium when I’m not home and not able to color.

I’ve never tried this before! I’ll pick one up the next time I’m out. Maybe it’ll help me as well. Glad you are seeing benefits from it.

I love coloring! My therapist mentioned it to me a while back and at first I thought how can this help me. But you are sooo right…it keeps my mind busy and it stops all of the thoughts that bother me
