checklist (start here):
- are you: tired?
- hungry?
- dehydrated?
- have you taken your meds?
- have you had enough socialisation?
- or enough alone time?
- do you feel grimy/dirty/greasy/uncomfortable?
ideas for sensory comforting:
- sitting in warm sunlight
- walking bare foot on grass
- sucking on a hard candy
- chewing gum
- listen to white noise
- take a shower in the dark
- lay under a heavy blanket(s)
important stuff:
What you’re feeling is valid. If you can name it then you can get closer to controlling it. Is it a healthy feeling? Where’s it coming from/what triggered it? What can you do about the source to help the feeling pass or eliminate the issue?
