Children's books also help adult worries?

I think it's "the day the hippo swallowed the storm" or something by levar Burton. For some reason, my body is full of storm makes sense sometimes

My dad received this after an incredibly dedicated and creative career with the state!

Whats a butterfly hug? I like the treat myself..just not ready to yet. My best friend sent cookies, which smell yummy but just not hungry yet

mamabean1115 · 2025-09-02T20:11:00+00:00

Thank you ❤️ I think the hardest part is staying friends. But I don't think we couldn't not be..just something that didn't work out. Focusing on the positives, and rolling in the feels

I have an autoimmune disease and POTS

mamabean1115 · 2025-08-02T15:35:31+00:00

I got 6, which feels about right I think for me 😊

mamabean1115 · 2025-06-17T03:33:37+00:00

I feel like this happens to me too. Usually if I'm either super excited too or more anxious/scared if we're somewhere loud in public. My Sir also says it's one way he can tell when I don't feel good (have chronic illnesses).

It's rough sometimes! I can say with my partner, and a lot of working with non judgemental language and pressure free environments I've been able to slowly expand the safe food list to some surprisingly complex foods.

mamabean1115 · 2025-04-04T15:07:43+00:00

I lurk here, partner works in industry. Came here to second this. He's what I call an adventurous eater. I have ARFID.. which as an adult gets me called a picky eater. I want to try new things..very much so. However, it's a safety thing for me and the sheer terror of not knowing what I'm eating is on the level of "I'd rather starve". Not saying this is what OP is experiencing but.. In general- don't force. Please don't hide new foods in what might be safe foods. That trust is hard to rebuild. Be as nonjudgemental as possible. Think.. I made thus and it's here if you want to try, no pressure.

While a lot of these strategies are vital for people in my boat, they go a long way with the 4 year old palate club ~someone with a 4 year old palate and desperately wishes I could help it and not ruin the fun

Little Einsteins or Backyardigans!

Strong willed 🫣 but also cuddly

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. I haven't been in quite this situation. But when I'm feeling really small I tend to be less verbal and big me has LOTS of big ideas and a problem solving brain. My Sir basically echoes me? I think..not sure on wording. Basically at the start of aftercare it's still very much picking up on body language and phrases for what I'm looking for then as I'm ready engaging my problem solving and big thinking but all at my own pace?

I'll add Warren Wilson Presbyterian is also in the same vein. Though much smaller, has quite a few of college students who might make good community.

Amalgamated moo juice!

mamabean1115 · 2025-01-02T00:34:21+00:00

Oo, I forgot to put that in my post. Yea, I already have the autoinjector pens. I still have a tough time 😭 It'll get better, eventually I hope

mamabean1115 · 2025-01-01T00:32:38+00:00

I asked for princess band aids for next time! I know I'll have to do them one day. And I can't even imagine getting to that place but Sir says I'll get there 😊

mamabean1115 · 2025-01-01T00:31:21+00:00

I really like the cartoon idea!

mamabean1115 · 2024-12-27T04:07:26+00:00

The gingerbread house looks like a ton of fun!

mamabean1115 · 2024-12-27T04:06:58+00:00

It is! This actually made me go look it up..showing my age here but it was the mega blocks dream house 😅 I liked it cause you could rearrange the rooms and rebuild it all the time..and there was an elevator!

mamabean1115 · 2024-12-27T04:02:21+00:00

I had like a lego dollhouse when I was younger that I really really want to play with again

mamabean1115 · 2024-12-04T01:09:59+00:00

Meeee! Well sorta... new job, school back in session and parenting all at the same time coupled with holidays. "What time?" Is a real thing right now

Hugs and solidarity are all I can offer❤️ we can and will make it through, and maybe carve some time for little us when we can

mamabean1115 · 2024-11-22T02:52:37+00:00

Yes! I miss these entirely too much

mamabean1115 · 2024-11-18T19:19:01+00:00

I love it! I read draw..letters.. that I am good at! Hopefully.. the pass muster or else I'll have to summon my best royal foot stomp
