Positive thread - any suggestions (games, coping strategies, anything at all)?

Guest_4643 — Thu, 30 Jan 2020 05:52:04 GMT

Hi everyone. I'm Tayla and I'm 20, posted here a few times.

I thought I'd try and make a positive thread, for anyone to get involved in, to hopefully chat to new and previous people I've talked to on here, anyone. Here's some suggestions below, comment (if anyone is up to it) whatever you like.

Game suggestions (for example there's one on this BB Social Zone "Movies A-Z").
What music you like (bands, songs, albums, anything) to introduce people, & see if you have any interests.
Anything that helps you cope with anything, any coping strategies at all.
Movies you like.
Books you like.
TV Shows you like.
Anything at all you'd like to discuss - positive stuff such as inspiring quotes, anything happy!

Feel free to comment whatever you like, that goes for anyone, if you feel comfortable. I hope to hear from some people, new and previous ones I've talked to. I hope this thread is alright to post & brings some happiness & socialisation to these BB Forums.

Thanks!

Tayla x

Thanks Mark, thought I'd try and make something positive.

Do you have anything that helps you, or anything listed - games, music, anything?

Take care also and hugs.

Hi Tayla

Good on you for wanting to try be positive. I sometimes like to watch movies that are just lighthearted fun. The other day I watched The Goonies. It's pretty old but I'd never seen it and I really enjoyed it. Have you seen it? Is there any movies that you would recommend for me?

Thanks, Katy

Hi Tayla! Great to see you back on BB. I watch funny Utube videos - something to make me laugh! And online jigsaw puzzles can be fun. It's good to have these things to do especially in the hot weather when you're stuck indoors!

Hey Katy, sorry for just replying now.

I've heard of that movie but never watched it, or TV show, whatever it is.

I don't watch movies much but my favourite is The Departed, seen that heaps & I love it.

For suggestions I'd say The Departed, Are You Being Served (loved that show since I was a kid, & the movie & sequel (watched the sequel episodes on Youtube, since all the DVD copies I can find are too pricey & come from overseas)), Anger Management (that's hilarious), & probably a few others. Oh Terms Of Endearment is also a beautiful but sad movie. Depends what you like really.

I don't watch much TV either, have to be in the mood. Hope you're alright today.

Love and hugs,

Tayla x

Hey Hanna, apologies for just replying now. Thanks for saying so.

Oh the online Jigsaw things sound fun, do you know any websites and/or apps where I can find any, for free please?

I have one to do that I got from a shop here but I haven't done it yet. I have to be in the mood for reading, writing, watching movies & TV, etc.

And yep being stuck indoors can be annoying. I really wish it was Autumn and Winter, although the storms and rain can be a pain, sometimes better than this extremely hot weather though, right? It was nearly 50 degrees here today in Regional VIC, wow!

Love and hugs,

Tayla x

Hey Mark.

Sounds fun, Monolopy is fun, haven't played the others I don't think.

Take care also, hugs.

oh i remember sending a friend the other day a really long list of steam recs for him... im mostly somewhere around puzzle/simulation and i accidentally end up reccing All the "walking sims" lmfao.

i know two mobile apps which are paid ones but would really recommend but theyre both ports of niche ass ds games that i ended up liking. ones a good mystery thats a little under the radar when they haven't heard of a much more popular ds game series and the other is uh. "i think this is a great game people should play but its so hard to recommend and tbh i only fell so deep into it bc that happens to games you play during the middle of awfully bad episodes. also it just happened to have a mobile port"

Hey eight, thanks for your reply.

Not sure what you're saying exactly but that's alright. I just thought this thread would be a good idea since it's positive, & hopefully it would help me & others, & have a few people come here.

All good though. Take care, hugs.

I like watching comedy TV when im feeling a little down

- Parks and rec, How I met your mother, Brooklyn 99 etc.

No matter how many times ive seem them, they still give me a laugh.

My favourite guilty pleasure movie is crazy rich asians.

Hi Gambit87.

Sounds nice. I've only seen Parks & Rec & How I Met Your Mother out of those shows, I personally don't like them but each to their own, huh? As long as you like them & get a laugh then thats good.

I like comedies myself, Live At The Apollo is a good one, a mixture of all comedians from around the world performing in the UK, it's been around for ages.

Or I like The King Of Queens, Becker, Frasier is alright but not my favourite, & Everybody Loves Raymond. & stuff like that.

Haven't seen Brooklyn 99 of Crazy Rich Asians yet. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hugs,

Tayla

Hey Tayla! I’m Storm.

I love playing PS4 in my spare time, I’m big on gaming and meeting people online!

I live in a small country town away from family and friends and don’t have any social interaction with anyone here except my partner and work mates - apart from when my parents visit or I go to Melbourne and see my family and friends.

Gaming gives me a sense of socialising and gives me a chance to interact and have fun!

*hugs*

Hi Storm.

Welcome to the forums, I see your first post is on my thread, thank you so much, that means a lot. I hope I can talk to you more on the forums.

I also live in a small country towns, but I live with my parents as I have my whole life. I couldn't live on my own. Maybe one day.

Hugs back, I hope you find support on the forums and I hope you somehow find some social interaction in your town, I know how that feels.

My 3 biggest coping mechanisms would be listening to music, playing sport such as soccer or tennis as well as writing. They seem to relax me when I'm stressed or depressed. I don't know why lol, that's just me. I wonder if anyone else on these forums is similar.

Hi Stressed Guy.

That's great that you have things like that, I'm glad they help & relax you.

Take care.

Hugs,

Tayla

Hey Healing heart.

Becker is a good show, Frasier is alright too. Never watched Downtown Abbey, doesn't seem like my thing.

Take care and thanks for replying to my thread.

Just came across this thread. Thankyou Tayla.

I am doing my best to stay positive and happy. Which some days its okay, other days just blah. Other days sadness.

Somethings that I find that makes me smile lately were

... Watching a video on ytube of a dog having fun jumping on a trampoline. And also watching a sheep bounce on a trampoline.

... Singing loud in the car when I am driving by myself

... Dancing alone
