Sometimes it is good to have a budget ...that way you buy what is most important to you & not just spending.

So happy it went well & you had fun.

Not too over crowded?

[npixelz]

Yeah, that's true!
Yeeee
Oh, WAY overcrowded. The words I said most were "excuse me, sorry, thank you, excuse me, sorry, thank you" lol. But I was able to still have fun because of how exciting it was! I actually had come up with 5 strategies with help from my therapist to help with overstimulation and stress, but I didn't need to use any of them!

[galled]

You did awesome!

Can you share the strategies? They might be helpful.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Yes, maybe you can share some strategies ... I get overwhelmed in crowds!

[npixelz]

Sure thing!


Count to ten
Go to a quiet area
Think of your interests and other fun things as a distraction
Focus on individual things, like counting every blue shirt, or seeing how many signs there are
Aaaand talk to someone as a distraction, whether it's someone you're with or on the phone

[galled]

Thanks! So basically just move your thoughts to something else other than your situation. Great advice!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I am going to try some of them!

[npixelz]

Yeeeee! It helps in any situation where you're overestimulated or overwhelmed!

Good luck!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Thanks! I think they should help!

Cute Avi, Npix!

nice!

I am so thrilled I get a 3 day week end!

[npixelz]

Noice! Use it well!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Cloudy outside. Perfect day to stay inside & get chores done.

[npixelz]

Indeed! And then to snuggle up on the couch and watch a show or read a book!
