How do I tell you about my oral nightime sensory coping skill? Last night I was bordering on crisis mode until I used it and it was like an instant relief of my unhealthy thoughts and urges and I was almost instantly fine. Its a big part of how I cope with my unhealthy thoughts and stress that creep up at night. But I don't want you to judge me since I've had therapists say its either a great coping skill or a weird one and I think you may be a bit creeped out. I chickened out telling you yesterday. I planned on it all morning then when the zoom session was about to start I immediatly said "nope" but I think if I email you Tuesday night and prepare you for it and say "hey I need to tell you about something that really helps me when I'm struggling but I don't want you to judge me or think I'm weird." That may make it easier for me to tell you in person the next morning. You do sometimes judge a bit to be honest.
