emotional troubleshooting

anxietyproblem:

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?
