I was feeling quite agitated this morning. I've been aware for a while that I don't seem to have any mechanisms of making myself feel calm. I don't have any 'stims'. I've spent the last hour reading the latest posts on this forum, and doing an Aspie Quiz on one of the threads, and I've found I feel much better now, calm and back to normal. I suspect because my mind became focused on doing something intently (replying to topics in detail, then doing a 122-question quiz), so it had no opportunity to wander and be distracted by whatever it was that was causing me to feel agitated.
What methods do you use if you're feeling agitated or stressed out by something, to make yourself feel calmer?
Good evening to all.Because there was a lot of photography upon this page, I thought that I might have a go at sending one of my own pictures, of a Tall Ship sailing along the River Thames. This post here, is in case the picture which I attempted to post ever actually turns up here one day (!)... it also might show up more than once, so this is a kind of warning, until I can see it on my own device (to delete multiple posts of it), I do apologise much in advance...
On topic: I myself also use going outdoors, nature, and parks for relaxation, and especially if I can walk along a lake, river, or best of all, the Ocean -やった!!
