**🎶 Make a playlist** to listen to, **of songs that make you smile** **📦 Create a comfort box** that includes; **something to look at** that makes you happy, **something with a scent** that grounds you and **something to touch** that calms you 🍵 Make **a nice cup of tea** 🫂 **Give yourself a hug** (it might feel a little silly at first but trust me, it can help) 📺 **Watch a movie/show that gives you comfort** (this can be a beloved childhood movie/show, a movie/show that is so stupid it makes you laugh, or a movie/show that makes you cry. **Only you know what you need, allow yourself to have it \<3** ) 🧸 **Hug a stuffed animal** (tell them you love them) **🤝 Reach out to a loved one** for support (They care about you, **you are not a burden for needing help sometimes** ❤) 🧦 **Put on some really cozy clothes** (maybe your favourite hoodie, something you can just hide your face in) **💧Cry** (if you feel like you need to, **don’t stop it from happening, it will be okay \<3** ) **💌 Remind yourself that you are safe, that no one is going to hurt you** (This one is especially important if you feel yourself Disassociating or having PTSD flashbacks. **You are here, you are safe** ) **🧺 Wrap yourself in a blanket** (Or have someone wrap you in one like a little sushi roll) 🍪 **Eat a food that brings you comfort** (I don’t care if you’re “trying to eat healthier”, I don’t care if you’re “watching your weight”, **your wellbeing comes first, eat the cookie** ) 🛏 Take **a little nap** 🌿 **Go on a walk** (_ **Do not do this if you are already struggling with disassociation, stay safe** _) 🛁 **Have a bath** (maybe with bubbles, maybe light some candles, the works) ![226659_2031574514325_6407597_n](https://spells8s3.b-cdn.net/original/3X/e/4/e4fc8b1213fb02f088d3b73f8d2a6b8ddfca2bad.jpeg) [@bisexual-ramen on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/bisexual-ramen) ---

May I add something? After the initial feelings are processed, do something small that gives you a sense of accomplishment. For example, get a small craft kit or Lego kit if you grew up with them, a simple puzzle, something easy. Do something you did when you were a kid that made you feel successful. The idea is to build self confidence. You can do this. You have abilities in other areas which may or may not be valuable to the rest of the world, but which you are able to do _for you._ You can believe in yourself- I give you permission because I believe in you. ---
