You can maybe make or buy some squishies, stress balls etc. maybe it can help reduce your stimming

Maybe think of something opposite like sad? But not triggering. Normally when I stim it's something I'm thinking of/seeing so if I do something else it can go away. But it seems like this isn't the case (?) so maybe try to just stim with one hand or leg bounce. yk something less distracting. Or doodle randomly! /nf

:] I really hope this helps /gen -Stu!!
