Yes thank you very much🫡 I’ll probably use those next time it happens. Maybe wipe my face off or shake like there’s a bug on me.

I literally already used it lmao. It did actually work I think. I shook like I saw a spider on my chest lol. At the very least it was certainly DISTRACTING. I’ll be using this more in the future probably🥰😁

yayyyy im happy it helped!!! its definitely distracting but i think helps kinda calm the nerves too in a way that build up by literally shaking them or swiping them away. ofc idk the science behind it but its always helped me at least come back better than if i just sit w the cringy feeling until i eventually move past it hahah

Yea it did actually it’s pretty cool!! And Oooh yea that makes sense too lol I have heard about movement and shaking like that for mental health stuff lol. Also the imagery itself is also probably a large part of it too cause that sorta thing can be powerful on its own

haha yeah it’s a pretty nice way to kinda find a way to calm our nervous system down like on our own since yk it’s more difficult to do naturally anyway😅 pretty interesting how brains work even if i tend to wish i could not have one LMAOO. & true/makes sense i do the same w OCD in a way. where intrusive thoughts come in and then i literally just force this image of a delete or explosion button i hit a few times in my mind until i feel better like it’s something that im actively going against😀
