Imagine yourself sitting close to someone who makes you feel secure.

I wish I had that in real life. Like, a person who makes me feel more secure and safe.

Ice! Crunching it, holding it, a pack of it on my face, etc... It brings me back to reality.[/QUOT...

Crunching ice is like fingernails down a blackboard for me. But wake up in the middle of the night with brain feeling tired but body full of panic? Icy cold drinks, crunch up the ice and then back to bed.

Driving...with only my pup in the car with me. Anywhere as long as I can keep moving and listening to an audio book or music....

I don’t actually think any of these things are weird - they all sound like really good grounding techniques to me!

Except for @PURUSHA's Sesame Oil massages! The smell would make me want to gnaw on her arm or leg! :eek::eek::eek::D...you know...something like an Asian dish called, "Twice-rubbed Limbs with Sesame Seed Oil". Remind me NOT to go for a massage at lunch time!!!:roflmao::)

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean weird in a bad way, more in a "this works, for some unknown reason" way. Maybe it has different connotations? I'm an Aussie, so here it just means... unorthodox or unusual, rather than bad-weird. Pretty common word here.

 

[MyWillow]

As a fellow Aussie yeah I get that

 

[Rani G2]
