My @stimtastic Is Flaking It Had A Small Texture Flaw When I First Got It In The Same Place And I Think

My @stimtastic is flaking 😭😭 It had a small texture flaw when I first got it in the same place and I think that's what caused to to start ripping like this. Now whenever I chew it tiny silicone shreds end up in my throat 😔😔 I'll have to buy another one at some point; I have the cactus chew as well to get that nice back of the mouth chewing with but I like how subtle the dulcimer is.

yeah

I Can See You Again

I agree with this a lot!!! There's a lot of problems with it, and at first I had a lot of trouble because I had to completely change my routine, but it's super nice to be able to stim and wear comfortable clothing without getting weird looks! Especially helpful for me because talking to myself helps me concentrate

I keep seeing people complaining about online classes, and I've definitely been one of the people complaining, but also I love how freeing it is as a neurodivergent person?? like, I'm in class and I'm doing both physical and vocal stims and I'm not distracting anyone and I'm not getting in trouble for it and it's so freeing

Stimtober Day 5- Go-To Meltdown Toy

So I don't actually have true meltdowns, or at least I haven't since I was very very young, so this isn't exactly true to the prompt but it's similar! I do get very bad anxiety attacks often and sometimes panic attacks due to being overwhelmed and also due to some triggers, and these two toys have proven to be the most helpful during those. I like the stimtastic braid when I'm anxious because I can bite down on it much harder than I normally would, and can also bend it in my hands which requires some strength, which is helpful to curb harmful urges I get. I also surprisingly like this cheap little emoji stress ball, despite it being a crappy foam one. It is surprisingly hard to squish, so it's good when I need to put a lot of force into stimming.

NASA putting mice in zero-g environments is one of the funniest fucking tests anyone has ever done and I hate having to hand that to them. Put those beasts in a situation.
