tiraspark:

Does anyone else feel the need to like “reset”?

Like if I’ve been overstimulated or done a lot and I’m switching to a new task or whatever, I need to reset. Sometimes laying down works if I’ve been sitting up. Sometimes I need to take a bath with hot water and something nice smelling. Sometimes I need to lock myself in a quiet room and hide for a while. And it like resets me back to where I can deal with certain things.

I don’t know if these are the “right” words to say about it, but that’s how I think about it and I find I need it more and more the more stressful/different/draining the situation.

I absolutely have to reset.  I don’t know the word either.  But if I don’t, and it usually involves some combination of rest and sleep and being at home in my room doing nothing or crocheting or something “easy”… anyway, if I don’t, for long enough, I break, like skills just break off and die.
