  • do your homework it’ll help with stress
  • when you’re overwhelmed you should run. it makes you feel better
  • don’t start cutting no matter how afraid you are
  • if that shirt doesn’t fit you it doesn’t matter
  • hug the people you love
  • know that your life is weird right now and it will get better

reblogging because I wish someone told me this when I was 13

– don’t talk shit about people
– if you wanna experiment with your hair/makeup go for it, find what suits you.
– if you start to feel sad alot, tell your parents/friends talk about it
– be the best you can be
– learn to love yourself 

-don’t be embarrassed of anything you like.
-clothes from Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch only fit a certain type of body. Don’t let their narrow-mindedness make you cry in the dressing room
-don’t starve yourself. Please don’t.
-there’s a reason you don’t look like people in magazines and on TV. You look like you and that’s wonderful.

-Be yourself, no matter what other people say
-Don’t start smoking or drinking alcohol, IT’S NOT COOL
-Don’t waste time on judging others

Thats not only for the 13 years old!

– don’t stay friends with someone who makes you feel shitty inside

– don’t be afraid to be friends with people in different grades

– your worth is not defined by what you can afford

– do what you love as often as you can, because that’s how you get better

– forgive yourself

-drink milk for strong bones

-you might end up liking girls and that’s okay

-you might not end up being a girl and that’s okay too

Stimming!

homojabi:

What is stimming?

In it’s most simple form, stimming is a repetitive body movement that self-stimulates one or more senses in a regulated manner.

What types of stims are there?

  • Visual Stims
    • Flapping hands, blinking and/or moving fingers in front of eyes, staring repetitively at a light, pressing on closed eyes to create visual effect [pressure phosphene], …
  • Auditory Stims
    • Snapping fingers, tapping on objects, listening to the same song on a loop, rolling Rs, “cat noises”, repeating words, putting hands over ears, singing, clicking tongue, humming…
  • Tactile Stims
    • Scratching, rubbing the skin with one’s hands or with an external object, pinching the skin, putting thumb inside fist, sucking thumb, rubbing hands/feet together, petting preferred textures, tying knots/twirling string, twirling/stroking hair…
  • Vestibular Stims
    • Moving body in rhythmic motion, rocking front and back or side-to-side, spinning, pacing, walking in circles, walking on tip-toes, jumping up and down…
  • Taste Stims
    • Licking body parts, licking an object…
  • Smell Stims
    • Smelling objects or hands, smelling other people…
  • Rhythmic Stims
    • Tapping on surfaces/objects/self, clicking fingers, making repetitive vocal sounds, bouncing legs, foot tapping, hand flapping, clicking pens, …

There are a lot of other stims as well that don’t necessarily fall under the category of “repetitive” such as pressure stimming, which are still just as valid. Basically if what you do serves the purpose of the stim, you can call it a stim.

Why do people stim?

People stim for all different kinds of reasons. They may stim when they are happy or excited, when they are stressed, as a part of their normal body language, as a way of communication, as a punishment, as a response to something internal or external, as a compulsion, to focus, to self soothe, etc. Stimming can be a coping mechanism, but it can also be so much more! No matter what reason someone has for stimming though, it’s important to remember that all stims are natural and normal.

Who stims?

Anyone that finds stimming useful, whether consciously or subconsciously, can stim. This includes neurotypicals, but mainly stimming is seen as something that neurodivergent people do and it occurs most frequently in:

  • the autism spectrum
  • sensory processing disorder (SPD)
  • Tourette’s
  • schizophrenia
  • OCD
  • people that experience mania/hypomania
  • people with ADHD/ADD
  • people with anxiety
  • etc

Where can I find stim toys/jewelry?
