Sewing for Mental Health
I need to show this to DH next time he rolls his eyes when I spend time in the sewing room!

Yes, I think sewing and crafting are essential for good mental health-mine for sure. I have never felt 'worse' after a sewing session. I go to my sewing room when I feel down as well as when I feel strong. It is just the spice and solace of life. Others may not sew and craft, but, they need that special outlet that brings these same feelings that sewing and crafting bring to this group of people who subscribe to this board. Everyone needs to be their own best friend rather than their worst enemy. That is one component of some depression.

When I feel over stressed I try and sit down and sew and it just makes this malfuntioning world go away. I feel much better for the rest of the day when I can sew just for a few minutes or make just one block for a quilt.
