Heyo! On ol' YT, I saw an ad for these things called 'Calm Strips'. They're stickers with varrying textures aimed at neurodivergent people who result to scratching at/picking thing as a fidget or tick. They're avaliable on both the official Calm Strips website and Amazon(I got mine off Amazon as my Aunt who order them distrusts other online stores after several bad experiences) As someone who has both Anxiety and ADHD, which combined results in self-destructive behavior of picking at any imperfections, bumps, or other blemish I can find, I managed to convince my desperate-to-find-a-solution family to buy some for me. They arrived today! I got a starter pack of 5 smooth ones and 5 rough-er ones. I started with sticking a rough one to my notebook and GOSH do they make a difference! I also notice I get anxious when I play video gmaes(boss fights are stressful, okay) so I stuck one on the back of my right joycon(I'm right handed, I reasoned it would be more useful where I'm more likely to come in contact with it. It'll also be a steady presence under my hand even when I don't need it or think to use it) On the official site they come in several textures and niffty designs. The packaging itself was also really nice! The stickers were seperated by type and placed in a small, paper envelope that matches the color of a sticker and an inspirational quote printed in metallic on the front. It also came with an info card and a thank you. This is not a sponsership or anything, I'm not getting anything out of this. I'm just grateful for something that helps after over 6 years of going through strict medical routines and trying every topical ointment on the market that realizes these little-known things may help other people.
