SAILZ: "I know ya have bad thoughts that ya can't control, Reptu. So let me distract ya, lad. I'll take ya to a happier place. Just focus on me, Reptu. Look into my eyes, or my nosering, or my sail, just me. Don't look at or think of anything else. Let my spino presence soothe you. There we go, that's it, matey."
I have so much trouble controlling my thoughts; they just won't stop sometimes. So a trick I use to escape my thoughts is imagining Sailz right in front of me just like the drawing, or when I'm lying in bed. He just makes me happy, since dinosaurs comfort me so much. When he demands that I focus on just him, it's like he's helping me; it relieves my thoughts. If I can get even seconds of blankness in my mind, just in the comfort of him, his scaly spino self and his lovely sail and long snoot, it's good. I can reach a happy place temporarily with him.

I have the same problem with controlling my thoughts, but I do have my way to distract myself.
I'm glad that having Sailz there, being a way to distract you for a bit, helps you be happy when you're having a rough time with your thoughts, a good distraction for a bit can really help, but if that doesn't work remember you have friends.

You know the feeling too, huh, Ghosty? Life is hard and there are some situations that can be so unbearable that it's difficult to shake them off. I'm glad you have a way to distract yourself.
Thanks, Ghosty. Distractions are an effective way. I don't know how I found dinosaurs to be so comforting, but I'm glad I did.
Oh yeah of course, I do have friends who I can always come to. I'm super lucky and grateful I have that, when my distractions don't work.

Yeah, I realized that with you. I could tell how much you love Ash, and I can say I feel something similar with Sailz. I think it's really cool how we can relate on that level. Yes, it is nice imagining someone there, even though they aren't. But, somehow it helps, nicely enough.
Thanks for your sympathy, Lizzardly. It would be nice if I didn't have to deal with such bad thoughts. That's why I'm looking into seeing a therapist soon. We'll see how that goes.

That's very interesting to know, Reptu! We have indeed multiple ways to distract our minds from our bad thoughts, in my case, l would say that playing video games, listening to music and focusing on work helps me clearing my mind, and make it focus in other stuff. X3
And it's really nice of Saliz to help you out with that, it's really considered and kind of him, he's a really awesome friend for sure!

Thank you, Dave. That was one strategy I found. I see you have lots of other good strategies as well. I'll remember those if what I'm doing isn't distracting myself enough. I agree: music is definitely an effective strategy to turn one's emotions around. That's why I do a great deal of protecting my iPod.
Aw, thanks! He indeed is a good friend. That makes me feel so joyful inside that you said that.
