i went through a lot when I was a little girl. a couple weeks ago in therapy I was told that I might just be regressing when I’m upset or get deregulate and I don’t actually have whatever they have diagnosed me with for the last two years and truly it makes sense. I’m so new I don’t even know what to do or how to cope. I mean I knew I had attributes and would suck on my thumb when I was upset or stop talking completely sometimes I ask my boyfriend to read my a bedtime story but I never thought much about that sense I struggle to go to sleep and a constant noise was always nice. as my therapist pointed out my shrinking and how I hide away and make myself little when I’m upset she suggested a lot coping mechanisms. what are some healthy coping mechanism you guys use? Please I would like to know!
