I love you

I still love you

I will always love you

I choose you

I will protect you

I can handle this

I can do that for you

You’re my good baby

I’m proud of you

You’re forgiven

Everything will be okay

This feeling will pass

I’ve got you now

❥   Journaling can sometimes help when it comes to finding out what’s causing your anxiety.

❥ it’s okay to cry during, before or after an anxiety attack.

❥  Sweating is normal.

❥  Bubble baths are awesome. (With bath bombs is even better.)

❥  Get some things to fidget with when out in public, like at school or work. I have slime and a couple things of scented playdoh I got from the dollar store. They help a lot when I’m panicky at school.

  ❥  It’s okay to plan out conversations or take time to prepare before doing something.

Here are some grounding methods I use to help me calm down during a panic attack or when I’m anxious, a lot of the time my daddy does these with me. (I take no credit for coming up with these, I found them on the internet.)

What are:

❥ 5 things you can see

❥  4 things you could touch

❥  3 things you can hear

❥  2 things you can smell

❥  1 thing you could taste

Or try

❥  Taking a cold shower. Cold exposure has shown to increase immunity, reduce fat, and elevate mood. (By triggering dopamine.)

Begone, foul responsibilities, there’s a protective chair here! I wanted to draw a lighthearted comic with some small kittens. : D

-always check up on them!

-give them chores/things to do like making bed every morning or brushing teeth

-sending them cute packages in the mail

-calling/video chatting for little dates

-watching movies together on rabb.it

-use cute pet names and talk to them as if they were a baby

-send cute pictures to each other

-ask them things like “do you have your paci?” or “can you color a picture for me”

-always reward them for a job well done

-refer to yourself as daddy/mommy/what they prefer to call you while regressed

-tell them you love them lots

I know a lot of regressors (including myself!) can be as young as a few months old! Actual baby formula isn’t very good for us and can make us sick, so I found something we can use that tastes and smells basically the same!

(Warning: make this when big! It deals with the stove and you wouldn’t want to burn yourself :c )
