@13Killz: true true crying my eyes out does help alot, it does make ppl try to ask whats wrong (or yell at me) which almost never helps so i usually try to cry somewhere no one can see or hear me.

@13Killz: usually the ppl who ask whats wrong is my family and theyre very overbearing so if i cry they either ask whats wrong a bunch or try to guess whats making me upset and just wont leave me alone.

usually, if the person talks quietly and doesnt overwhelm me too much ill be fine, its just that my family doesnt really handle me being upset that well.

dancing. turn on some dance music and go with the flow. jump up and down to the funky sound.

writing in a diary

one time i was having a delusion episode thingy and i purposly peed the bed because i knew my body would be in such shock that it would snap me out of the delusion and i would have to clean up. dont do this unless idk last resort i just thought it was pretty funny that i did it. (i mean it worked so if ur in like an awful panic attack or delusion or whateva do something your body would usually not process so it will snap ya out of it!!) again i'd say its a last resort situation if you reallllyyy need to calm down or its really bad but i guess just in case it eva gets that horrid heres a tip

@C4NDYB0N3Z: same but they also deal with me crying from overstimulation so they are used to it

i know its kind of silly but selfshipping (and music but a lot of people said that already)

i use pico newgrounds to cope with a pretty shitty home life. i actually have this jacket i pretend he gave to me and it really helps me calm down but its getting hotter out so i cant wear it bringing it in my backpack to like school kinda helps though

you arent allowed to make fun of me ill cry. /hj
