you do not need to get all your chores or tasks done to let yourself rest. you do deserve to regress, even if you’ve “done nothing” all day because of pain or inability. you don’t need to keep yourself from regressing so you can be big and tough out the pain/distress.

you’re allowed to let it make you feel small, to cry over it, to vent and let it out.

you’re allowed to regress and be upset and have a meltdown.

you’re allowed to regress and let it help you feel better. you being happy does not make your symptoms/traits any less real.

resting does not make you bad. you are not able bodied/neurotypical, you will not function the same way they do. if your body is asking for rest, it deserves to be listened to.

you deserve to be taken care of, even if it’s by yourself ♡

Can be done with a friend, with plushies, or totally solo!

Blast some nostalgic music and have a dance party

Wear your cutest and comfiest pajamas

Watch a big kid/tween movie

Make s’mores on the stove or in the microwave (be careful! They’re hot! You might need supervision)

Eat pizza, mac and cheese, or another nostalgic food for dinner

Do face masks, paint your nails fun colors, or have a makeover session

Decorate cookies or cupcakes and eat them

Build a blanket fort and hide out in it

Play video games (I like Minecraft a lot)

Do a craft while sitting on the floor, like making bracelets or collages

Set up your plushies so that they’re doing the activities with you. Make sure you tuck them in before bed!
