Hi I’m Layla. I’ve struggled with sh for about 5 years now and it has been about a week since I’ve done anything. I feel like it’s the only thing I have control over and it calms me down after an anxiety attack. Are there any alternatives that actually work? I don’t know what to do anymore and I’m so tired. Is there anyone that can help?

Have you heard of those spiky kind of fidgets that can be used in place of SH? It causes physical sensations, without actually harming you. Amazon has some <3

*hugs* I SH too. <3

Hey Layla, I’m really proud of you for making it a week. That’s a big step. I know it feels like , but there are other ways too.

Some people try holding ice cubes, snapping a rubber band, or drawing with a red pen when they get urges. It can help give the same feeling without hurting. You’re not alone in this, okay? I’m here if you ever need to talk 💛
