phantym_56 | Day 23 - Something That Makes You Feel Better, in great detail

This goes into two categories, Physically Better and Emotionally/Mentally Better.

Physically, despite my habit of leaving them as a very very last resort, painkillers tend to help although they work best if taken early.

Emotionally/mentally, distraction is about the only thing. Being hugged and people being nice to me when I'm upset are likely to make it worse. Magpie has the handling of this absolutely perfect - he treats me normally without mentioning whatever's upsetting me but with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Both respond best to a blanket and warmth, really.
