re: mh - (not now), asking for help
@Felthry there's this thing we've done sometimes, which is compose positive counter statements to repeat to ourselves?
not untruths, true affirmations and reframings
some ones we used a while ago on a bad day:
- I'm allowed to be majorly upset about something small.
- I deserve patience from myself with not being able to get over my upset quickly.
- I'm allowed to stim to music
- I can wish I got more sleep. I don't have to prove that I deserve to want this.
re: mh - (not now), asking for help
@packbat mm... in our case this is like... remembering and fixating on memory of things from decades ago--seemingly the only things we can remember from that long ago at all

pulling from a thing from our past re: mh - (not now), asking for help
@Felthry we were a huge dick in rehearsals for "Trial By Jury" once, years and years ago, and we got called on that, and listened to being called on that, and spent a lot of time figuring out better ways to be
it stuck in our memory because we don't want to be the kind of person that's an asshole to strangers for no good reason
and we're not - we've been working very hard not to be
...idk if something there resonates
