Not Coping

Oh, I don't want to pressure you at all, @Blackbird11, or take up your time.

I feel we haven't talked a lot in the past few weeks.

Why would I do it then @Jynx?

Yes, I do cook @ArraDreaming

Why is that?

Sorry for my absence @Birdofparadise8

It's ok I'd love to chat. Just going to the shops now. I'll be back after.

Okay have a good trip are you getting food @Blackbird11?

Yeah, I live on res @ArraDreaming

I have two roommates this year. It's so much nicer than my tiny box last year.

They both stay up very late and get up very late, so that is a little annoying for me. When I'm trying to sleep and when I get up to get food for breakfast.

Is it something I should try and stop @creative_writer?

Getting cash out for a filing cabinet off market place @Birdofparadise8

Fidgeting/stimming? Not unless it's causing you pain/permanent damage. You mentioned your finger gets red sometimes - maybe at those moments you can just find a different stim. In my opinion, we shouldn't aim to cease self-soothing behaviours all together, just find others to add in the mix so that we are not injuring ourselves or leaning too heavily on one in particular.

Ever gotten yourself some fidget toys? Kmart have heaps now, in all diff forms. My latest fav are these stretchy noodle thingies - they look like this:

I love em cos they allow me to do hand flapping movements, and I can stretch em out, spin em round, all sorts. So far, they've kept my attention the longest, out of all the stim toys I've purchased over the years since getting diagnosed ADHD.
