Things to do when you're tiny and feeling...
✎Don't bottle it up! If you need to, go somewhere you can be alone to let out your feelings
✫Scream into a pillow or stuffie
✫Hit something soft (I promise your stuffies will forgive you too)
✫Draw with crayons (you can push down hard with them) it doesn't have to be pretty
✫Drink something cold like water or juice
✫Eat something hard/crunchy like cookies or carrots or chew on a teether
✫If you can, write down what made you angry and destroy the paper afterwards
✫Soothe yourself with a binkie
✫Hug as many stuffies as you need really close to your chest
✫Let yourself cry, if you can
✫Eat something that makes you happy/comforts you (sweet or spicy is best)
✫Drink something warm like angel milk, hot cocoa or tea
✫Swaddle yourself in soft blankets
✫Watch your favorite show
✫Gather your stuffies and dolls around you
✫Talk to them even if they don't answer back. You can feel what they want to tell you in your chest
✫Cuddle them really close
✫Write to someone you miss, if you can
✫Draw yourself with those you love/want to be with
✫Imagine those you miss being with you and daydream about what you could do together
✫Watch your favorite show or youtuber to feel less alone
✫Your binkie may help soothe you
✫Feel the textures around you to ground yourself
✫Rock back and forth to relief tension and soothe yourself
✫Hold your stuffies close
✫Put on music and just move around however you feel like!
✫If you have a reason, think about all the ways it could NOT go wrong too! Let yourself hope for the best, even if you're scared to get hurt /gentle
Icky (regarding sa trauma)
✫Hug your stuffie and let yourself cry
✫If you can, shower or bathe. If needed, you can keep your clothes on until you feel better
✫Vent your feelings through drawing. This could be scribbles or any thoughts of revenge you may have for example
✫Drink something really cold
✫Hide under blankets and scoot into a corner to feel more safe
✫Watch a comfort show to get your mind on other things
✫Try to put names to what you can physically feel. If you feel something you cannot see, then it can't hurt you. Focus instead on feeling the things you CAN see like a soft blanket or hoodie
DON'T tag this as little*space or cgl*re (without the stars too obv)
