We need cuddles, but then space, and then more cuddles. Sometimes at the same time.
Eating a handful of Goldfish constitutes as a meal.
We talk to ourselves or to stuffed animals.
We have to sleep enough or we get cranky and stop being functional.
We have to eat enough or we get cranky and stop being functional.
We have to have sex enough or... wait. That one doesn't work.
We can't always get words out coherently.
We can have emotional breakdowns over anything.
We have the potential to fall asleep anywhere, anytime.
We sometimes want to crawl under a giant pile of pillows and blankets. Possibly with a stuffed animal or fellow human.
Soothing nightlights and soft music becomes our go-to relaxation method.
When we're stressed or unwell, we need to treat ourselves as we would treat a little child. Go to bed on time. Eat more than a handful of Goldfish. Find yourself a cuddle buddy (stuffed animal, human, pet) and a cozy blanket. Put on the soothing nightlight and listen to relaxing music until you feel calm enough to sleep. Go bug another human until they make you food. :P
