@MissGremlin no worries, happy to lend an ear, I'm sorry to hear things haven't eased off

Thanks @Former-Member, sorry was feeling a little uncomfortable in that other thread for some reason.

@MissGremlin that's 100% fine with me, as long as you feel comfortable and like you're in a safe space

@Former-Member that's a complicated situation in itself. I'm kind of being watched here which is also why I'm cautious of interacting with new people. So I have to be careful of what I say which from what I read briefly yesterday on some of your posts sounds like something you are also wary of.

Hello @MissGremlin, as you may know, I am new to the forums and this thread, so I would really love to know more about you and how I can support you as well. What helps you to feel the most safe and nurtured? 💖

@MissGremlin yeah I'm rather cautious about oversharing, and I'll go back within 24 hrs and edit out anything I'm not keen on. I'm spewing there aren't private thread options

@MissGremlin you just jogged my memory about editing some replies I made in my other post.

ohhh i hear you, it sucks that those thoughts and urges are increasing @MissGremlin happy to provide some distraction chats!!

but also, i do wanna remind you that if those urges get strong and you feel unsafe, please don't hesitate to call 000. you deserve to be supported 💙

okay i've got 2 questions for ya:

- if you had a sensory toolkit, what things would you pack in there (imagine there's infinite space in the toolkit)?

- what's some weird/funny/interesting facts?

i'll go first, marshmallows originated from Ancient Egypt and it was considered a 'luxury' to eat them, so only the Pharaohs and gods were allowed to have them.

@rav3nCan I answer the first question too?

Salty, crunchy foods, A weighted blanket, a body pillow to curl up with and cuddle, fidgets of all different kinds, my anxiety ring, those little…they’re rings that hugs tight and provide pressure and many many Needoh ice cubes (my go to, in fact I have one in my hands right now) a set of noise cancelling head phones and my dog.

@rav3n thanks and I know.

Ok my brain is fried trying to think of things to put in a sensory toolkit.

But facts, ummm.

All the world’s bacteria stacked on top of each other would stretch for 10 billion light-years.

Ants don’t have lungs. They instead breathe through spiracles, nine or ten tiny openings, depending on the species.
