When things start to get on top of me, I go to the sea that is nearby, sometimes to just sit and look and listen, sometimes to sort stuff out in my head. After a while, I do feel better. I'm lucky. Some people don't have a "Sea" to go to. Be kind. #WorldMentalHealthDay
@Dolphinchaz I definitely miss the sea.
Oct 10, 2026, 10:28 AMThe day doesn’t feel ‘right’ if I haven’t spent some time sat by the sea, usually coffee in hand, so I completely understand.
@Dolphinchaz Call you Ishmael.
@Dolphinchaz Same for me. I have lived by the sea most of my life, different oceans and different seas, but I know how beneficial it is to my mind.
@CatherineBabault I was told, many years ago by a very wise woman that the sea listens as well as whispers.
@Dolphinchaz I used to live by the sea and it probably was the most important thing in getting me through my burn out before last. Now I live in Scotland and more in land I find that fixing things at the repair cafe fills a similar purpose. It just a need to be out of the house and away from work for 2 or 3 hours with no time to think
@ianturton Yes Ian, I know exactly what you mean. Repairing stuff is good for the head too, immersing yourself in repair cafe work would do just that - thank you for your volunteered time sir, I salute you 🫡
@Dolphinchaz such wise words.
I don't have the sea that close unfortunately, instead I have my rock on a hill with weather patterns racing in over the glen in front. A wee meditative orange usually seals the deal of spiritual recovery.
@jbenjamint Ah...now then - THAT'S a view that would sort your head out pretty well 😍 🤗
