How do you feel when something unpredictable is happening? How do you cope with it?
Me personally, I love to stim by thinking of songs and characters that I like, I might hop on this website just to distract myself for a bit ^^
Sometimes I find myself drowning in a pool of information, or I'm not happy because I didn't eat something great or I have to wait for someone else.
There have been many times where I've had to make compromises, sacrifices and wait for others, or quiet myself for others.
Stimming through music (dancing, pacing) comes naturally to me, even if in the past it has been dangerous.
But luckily I've pushed through the dangerous part.
In a way, the mask that you create for yourself around other (even for family) is nice.
It's nice to respect their needs and do things for them.
The main thing is: Always remember to take care of yourself, which I often need a reminder from <3
I also require positive reminders from my family (because of lack of motivation sometimes) to get back on track.
