OP here! I love coloring, but the designs in my favorite book are so complex, it's difficult to find a number of compatible colors. I was trying to use mostly bright colors and ran out of selections. I am already medicated and in therapy for my anxiety along with other things. @18 thank you for the advice! I might do that one day and I'll let you know how it goes!

I will never understand ******* like you.
I will never understand insensitives douches like you.
This country is peopled with ******* like this op and you. You are weak and disgust me to my core. Man the **** up and get on with life. Freaking out over what crayon to use..pfft, have some throazine and shuffle off down the ward you drones
Just use a black pen and color the whole page. If you get frustrated, you can tear through it on purpose!
Well not everything will work for everyone. I like those books as well. Got a few for Christmas and they help me. It's okay to try something else. (:
YES! My friend and I just had this discussion the other day. We both bought adult level coloring books for some stress relieve and we discovered that our OCD makes us more stressed trying to relax coloring than we would have had had we just taken a nap or watched a TV show.
Same here with my OCD! I tend to do puzzles to help me relax. Sudoku, mahjong tiles.... There are now adult level dot to dot books which really appeal to me :)
lol I almost bought one of those
Maybe there's an adult coloring book with only one crayon ?
This has been done before
You should just draw a different picture on it.

Unleash your four year old self and color everything the same color scribbles with hints of weird Browns and rainbow **** ups
Don't get caught up in how it's going to look when it's done. It's the process of putting the color onto the paper that's relaxing. Not the end product. Try crayons, pencils, markers or paint. Find your favorite medium and enjoy playing. Limit your colors and it's a lot easier to choose and not stress over colors. . Only shades of blues (call it your blue period lol) or choose only three or four that compliment each other. Mandela patterns are great to start with there are no rules, right or wrong. Or simply don't choose at all, close your eyes and just pick one up and go with it. Title it Serendipity. Do that on a blank page charge $300 and it's modern art! It is YOUR art It only has to make YOU happy. Practice letting that uptight feeling go. Do a couple of pages intentionally going for the ugliest you can imagine like those ugly Christmas sweaters. Or opposite colors green sky, blue grass, black sun, purple people whatever. Just concentrate on the movement and textures. Explore what color combos are most pleasing to you. Just enjoy the doing of it. It's the journey not the destination yadda yadda.... If you really hate the picture when you're done paint over it or just tear it out destroy it and toss it in the trash and it never existed. ;) Start all over again and try something different. I like to print several copies of the same page and try out different color combinations when I figure out what I like best then do that on the sheet in the book. It makes the book last longer and I get more coloring time out of it. Only rule is to have fun.
