@MissGremlin you're good hun, we all have those days!! Distracties are go!!

Do you like/use stim toys much?

@Jynx i do sometimes, mainly when I'm out in public.

I'm trying to pick another picture to start.

@MissGremlin i think that's when the safety plan can come in handy, it's almost like your lil guide on what you need - perhaps we can revisit it when you're feeling up to it another time?

oh that reminds me, i actually wanted ask what drew your interest around ducks for your car? if you can't share certain deets - totally understand, your safety comes first!!

@rav3n I've tried to make safety plans with my doctor, psychologist and mental health team and I've never been able to.

Just needed a change so was thinking what i could do to make it fun and ducks are cute and it was easy to get things cheap to decorate the car with. Kids love seeing me drive around, it cheers people up when they see it and I get comments regularly.

@MissGremlin recently started using chains as my stim toys lol to the point I've got one with a little pom pom on it to spin around ahaha

Oooh what are your choices?

@Jynx interesting choice but hey whatever works. I've got a few different things that are just random objects that I fidget with.

I'm trying to find some but choosing is overwhelming me.

@MissGremlin yeah kinda surprised myself! And not gonna lie there's a part of me not mad about carrying around a small length of chain (like, skinny chain mind you, it can wrap around my fingers) cos people seem to like, fully cross the street to avoid me so I'm like "Yay, protection" 😂

Have you narrowed it down to choices or are you lost in the mass of choices?

@MissGremlin totally up to you if you wanna give it another go or not! it's probs tiring having to recreate them again with diff people, but if you're up for giving it another go later, give us a shout 😊

aww so cute! lil duckies defs brings a smile to my face, absolutely love the idea. i didn't realise how much money i'd be spending on decorating/accessorising a car!! have you done other themes/decorations before?

@Jynx chains are fun to fiddle with i reckon. Haha yes protection 😂. What's so scary about a bit of chain, chains can be fun 😂.

Was still a mass of choices but I tried to narrow it down a bit.

@rav3n thankyou, will have to see what happens. I think i just get frustrated cos I can't think of certain things so then I just give up on it all together.

Yeah it can get costly very quickly. I've thought about changing themes but just not an option at the moment financially. But have thought about doing a cow theme and also a frog theme.
