I have dealt with depression off and on my entire life. I am extremely lucky that it is not severe, and I do not constantly feel depressed. Some days though, I don't want to see, speak or interact with people. I have trouble getting out of bed, I don't want to eat and just feel so crappy all around. On those days, I try extremely hard to force myself into something creative, it always seems to help make me feel a little better. I love to knit, and every fall I knit myself a bunch of new chunky loop scarves, and donate last years to the local shelter that helps women who have been abused. Anyway, I went to AC Moore to stock up on some new yarn and saw these anti-stress coloring books as I walked by. I really love to color, and I loved the patters in these books. I bought a pack of skinny Crayola markers, got my yarn and came home. I started coloring, and before I knew it four hours had passed and most of the Mandala book was finished. I think this will be a great thing for the future when I am having a rough day. So go check them out! I got them at AC Moore on sale for $6 each.
