Jul 08, 2020 at 04:09 AM

the follow- up thread from my other one.

1. watch cartoons

2. cuddle stuffies (even though they are diffrent ones now)

3. eat mcdonalds (always been a huge mcdonalds fan)

4. bounce on the bed when I am happy

5. sing nursery rymes to myself

6. play catch with a bouncy ball when I have the chance

7. make animal sounds

8. use the letter sounds (rather than C, say curly c etc)

Draw and paint. That’s for life

Prefer sea/ocean to lakes and rivers for swimming as I grew up by the sea

Don’t mind swimming in cold water as I grew up by cold sea and we swam in any weather (not winter lol)

Read a lot. Although I have trouble concentrating lately. I read a ton as a kid. So not the same amount now

Swear too bleeping much!

SorryShaped · Jul 09, 2020 at 08:14 AM

Play videogames, watch cartoons, cuss a lot, and probably masturbate too much

When I’m sitting down and people talk to me or look at me and I get anxious I‘ll I turn my head at and refuse to look at them. I do this in therapy a lot. Also when I’m out in public I’ll turn my back on strangers if they stare at me.

Ride my horse.

Sit cross legged on the floor (& I can still get up by myself at my age)

When I was a child, I always slept with a stuffed animal. Now that I'm an adult, I prefer that my cats sleep with me. Also, I have a small, soft pillow that I like having next to me when I sleep. I am lost if I don't have my pillow.

I paint and draw.
I play music.
I play games.
I read a lot.

KD1980 · Jul 19, 2020 at 09:55 AM

Watch cartoons.
Read books written for young adults.
Eat snack cakes.
Watch Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street.
Play dress up.

I believe in imagination. When I was a teen, I used my imagination to do well with my music. I pictured myself winning a competition. I did it every day when I practiced. Sure enough I won. I did better than win. I made "first seat" in all the region. As an adult, I believe in the power of imagination. But I don't do it as easily anymore. I have too many negative thoughts in my head. But I think I will start giving it a good try.

Sing, play violin and daydream, am still very wary of people and still as weird now as I was then. Stil have OCD as well. Pretty much the same and don't think I have grown up.

Soupe du jour · Jul 21, 2020 at 08:58 AM

I still talk to myself a lot. I talk a lot, in general. I remember a father of a childhood friend told me I was "gabby". I didn't know that word, so asked my mother what it meant. I think I was maybe 6 or 7 years old at the time.

mugwort2 · Jul 21, 2020 at 07:21 PM

I drew sketches ever since I was ten. I still draw every day some kind of colored pencil sketch.

Jul 22, 2020 at 07:41 PM

I still:

Want to go for bike rides, to cheer myself up
Go for walks, to do the same
Bake . It's a very good thing for me to do.
Think creatively, and plan little 'dream' projects I'd like to do. (I'm so glad I got that back!)
Daydream, and use it as a healing practice for myself
Try and cheer people up
Hope for the best
Sing to myself when I'm happy
