I just wanted to thank whomever recommended coloring as a diversion, i finally did some coloring last evening and it was very soothing! Thanks for the idea! If anyone has some awesome coloring-pages-for-free sites, let me know. I got some from http://www.doverpublications.com/zb/samples

Janice I love to color. I do this as well when I am feeling really bad and can't calm down. Thank you for the website. When I get some printing ink I will have to print some of these.

Coloring really works!!! Above many things I have tried to distract myself.

I am not a doctor although wish I was. LOL All of my comments are strictly my opinion only from my own experiences. I am on no medications at the time but have taken medication in the past. So anything I say about medication is only my opinion from the experiences I have had while on medication. Never stop taking or take medication without talking to your doctor first.

Oh and one way I like to color too is to first outline with markers the small skinny crayola ones and then color in with crayon. Course it does bleed through the other side but oh well. lol

I print coloring pages for my kids all the time and if you just do a search for free coloring pages you will find a lot of different sites to print stuff from! Smile
