Hurt Character Who Is Coming Out Of A Period Of Captivity:

hurt character who is coming out of a period of captivity:

getting to sleep on a mattress again, instead of a hard dirty floor

burrowing under blankets for the first time in ages, feeling like they're finally warm again after so long shivering and shaking in the cold.

having tissues to wipe their nose with instead of having to use the back of their hand.

having a fresh change of clothes, and their old familiar jackets and sweaters back. having a bonfire to burn every rag and shred of clothing that they had to wear during their captivity.

being able to pick up the phone and call their loved ones anytime they want.

being able to sneak down into the kitchen at 3 in the morning for a late-night snack, just the joyful freedom of having a stocked pantry after so many long nights of hunger pangs and feeling like their empty stomach was eating them from the inside out.

nestling into the comforts of home at long last, soaking up every tiny reassurance that they're not there anymore, and they'll never have to go back there ever again.

Happy Lizard Fashion Day to those who celebrate.

I'm autistic and I currently feel like shit checklist

Hi there. Are you autistic? Do you currently feel like shit and don't know why? Try this checklist to see if you can Fix The Problem!

When was the last time you used the bathroom? If you answered "I don't know" or "at least 3 hours ago", go now!

Do you need a drink? Go get one if you don't have one in front of you.

When was the last time you ate? If you haven't eaten yet today, consider eating A Meal, or perhaps A Snack. Something is better than nothing, eat whatever you feel able to!

Is there something in your immediate surroundings that is bothering you? If the light is too bright, turn it off. If there is an annoying sound, make the sound stop or reduce your ability to hear it (earplugs, headphones, etc.). If your clothes are bothering you, change them.

Is your space messy? Pick one area of your room and clean it up as best you can. Clean your whole room if you have the energy!

When was the last time you did An Activity? Scrolling on social media doesn't count. Try actively doing something fun! Play a game you like, read a book, make something, or go for a walk.

When was the last time you Spoke to a Person? Consider talking to a person you like if it has been a while.

How long has it been since you did something Special Interest related? Make some time to do that today. Infodump to a friend, have a nice long research session, look at related images or gifs, make art about it, whatever works best for you!

Try stimming actively! Put on some music and dance, spin in circles, go to the park and use the swings!

If you still feel like shit after trying all of these things, you might be tired or sick. Go to bed early and get some rest. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!

Hope that helps :)
