— • Anxious Bunny

What’s wrong, bun? Why are you hiding down there? There is a lot of dust under your bed..come, come, food is almost ready. If you want to get to the park early we’ll have to leave soon..oh? Anxious? Oh, bunny, there is no need to be anxious. Here, sit by me and tell me what’s wrong. No need to be nervous, I’m right here for you my little bunny…Oh dear, well, it’s okay to be anxious even if we don’t know why. Sometimes, we wake up a bundle of nerves! And even if we woke up in a soft, warm bed, our mind can play little tricks and make us think that something is wrong. I know that what I say won’t make it go away immediately, but we can try to soothe these thoughts and make them less loud. Would you like to try that? Yes? Okay, let’s take some deep breaths together…yes, just like that. Feeling any better? Alright, now how about we find a little distraction from these anxious feelings? Come along sweetheart, I made you your favorite. After that, we can go to the park, okay?

ᯓ★ tips for littles/cgs with RSD . ݁₊ ⊹ . 🌞

note: "Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) is a term used to describe intense emotional pain and distress in response to real or perceived rejection or criticism." I am not a professional, these are just some personal tips<3

╰┈➤ focus on self soothing techniques, as well as self empathy and compassion. Be gentle with yourself, you didn't choose to feel these things, so don't treat yourself like you did.

╰┈➤ don't forget that your value is NOT dependant on others' opinions of you. You are your own being, and that is beautiful <3

╰┈➤ recognize everyone makes mistakes, and you are worth as much love as everyone else, even if you have emotions deeper than others.

╰┈➤ know the way you feel isn't silly or stupid, and don't diminish your feelings to being these such things.

╰┈➤ try and self soothe, whether that be through distractions like reading, journaling, etc. Use positive affirmations to combat self hatred and negative self talk

╰┈➤ identify your own triggers, keep track of how you respond to certain situations, and what may trigger episodes of major dysphoria.

╰┈➤ remember to be mindful, take deep breaths and practice grounding when you're beginning to spiral.

╰┈➤ don't be afraid to ask for reassurance, you deserve to feel safe.

╰┈➤ remember to practice the STAR method, STAR stands for Stop, Think, Act, Recover. Using this method, you can help to process larger emotions with more ease.

╰┈➤ when dwelling on a negative interaction, try and see it from a different perspective. How else may of someone meant their words?

╰┈➤ don't be afraid to seek support of friends and family, and communicate your experiences and RSD.

╰┈➤ set boundaries to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, and follow through with them. Boundaries don't make you a bad person.

╰┈➤ remember to take time for yourself. Engage in hobbies and self care, you are loved and deserve good things.

╰┈➤ if possible, seek professional help, whether through therapy or medication.
