super important. as a regressor with a mental illness, this is extremely helpful, thank you very much!
To starts this off, imma regressor wiv Panic Disorder an Autism. Dese tips are for when your regressor is havin a panic attack or meltdown of any kind! An remember, each panic attack and meltdown is different. Even the same regressor might want different steps taken in different crises.
💬You gots to work out if your regressor wants to be held. In a panic attack, even a normally cuddly regressor might struggle and flail if touched. Ask them! They might nod or shake head. Might jus say “mm” tho. Dis one takes knowin your regressor, if you still arent sure after askin, try gentle touch an see if they come to you or shake you off or just stay listless. If they dont move or do come for cuddles, then proceed to respond how seems fit. Do not grab the regressor or make any sudden movements!
🍼Get them drink in a bottle, preferably somethin calmin and warm like milk drinks or hot choccy milk, or even teas like chamomile.
🐒 If trying to touch them earlier went wrong and they accidentally hit or kicked you while flailing, this is nobodys fault. Ive done it before an felt awful. Please do not punish the regressor now or later for this. Even if da rules say no hittin, this doesn count. They not mean to hit, i promise.
🔊Find out first if they wants sounds on, then put telly on with soothing show. Be ready to mute it if the regressor responds by shaking head, covering head, making unhappy noises etc.
🎶If there isnt telly in the room, see if the regressor responds to talkin or singing to them.
🥛The regressor might tell you to get out or go away. Theyre not being mean, they just cant handle people right now. Please go outside the room, and make them drink and/or a snack. Give it 10-15 minutes then knock on door and tell your smol that you have left these things for them. Even an isolating smol appreciates the effort, even if they dont respond well at the time, give em time alone an theyll come get the offerings when theyre ready and itll help as they come down.
😿If the regressor wants you in the room, but no touching or sounds, please just sit down and give reassuring smiles if they look at you. You can play on phone or read book or other quiet activity. Dont fall asleep if you can help it.
🐰This one is hard, but when they start to feel better theyre gonna come to you, and you might be upset because they yelled at you or accidentally hit you. Please know it was an accident and they didnt mean to lash out (if your regressor hits a lot or says absolutely awful things… thats abuse. Thats not what im talkin about here. When in a panic attack or meltdown, imagine youre dealing with a frightened rabbit). Do not try to “talk about the behaviour” or make them explain themselves. Theyll tell you why they panicked when theyre calm. Right now, theyre coming down and need comfort.
🦄When the smol is calm, try the television again, or a game or book. Something that doesnt require a lot of energy. Theyre very tired. They might go to sleep and thats fine too! Now is the time for letting them be calm and happy.
⚠If you want to talk about what happened, please wait at least a few hours. This gives them time to be calm and they probably want to say sorry too!
⁉If youre somewhere public, Try to get your smol somewhere private and proceed with the steps above. Even if its them sitting in the parking lot of a supermarket and you going to buy them a milkshake instead of the other steps, your care and effort is still amazing.
I hope these tips helped. Meltdowns and panic attacks can be hard to deal with, but i hope this list helps!

To anyone thinking of major changes to their hair or brows while stuck at home...
the hair on your head grows an average of 1/2 an inch (1.27 cm) per month. Some people's hair grows a little faster or slower but 1/2 an inch is the average. Good to know for anyone wanting to shave their head or cut their hair very short.
Eyebrows are a little less predictable but you can usually expect any shaved eyebrows to grow back completely in 6 - 8 weeks
There are a lot of hair cutting tutorials on YouTube and they are your friend. Free Salon Education is one channel you can check out. Hair cutting is not as intuitive as you might think and watching a video before cutting your own hair is not a bad idea.
Plucking has the potential to "kill" a hair follicle so if you're worried about eyebrows not growing back, shave instead of plucking/tweezing
As a hair stylist I have to reccomend against bleaching your hair at home, especially with non-professional grade lightener, unless you are prepared to have: dark bands of uneven color, yellow and orange undertones, breakage, dry brittle hair that turns the texture of overcooked rice noodles when wet, hair falling out, or burns on your scalp. It could turn out fine but those are the kinds of things that can go wrong. If you simply must bleach your own hair, have a friend help you, follow manufacturers instructions exactly, dont use anything over 30 volume developer (peroxide) and maybe watch some youtube videos by professionals beforehand.
(Honestly I wouldnt go over 20 volume if you havent been professionally coloring hair for years but I used to be a DIY hair stylist so I know this is a lost cause. Just dont touch the 40 volume. Dont do that to yourself.)
Avoid bleaching your hair twice in the same week. Deep condition after bleaching if you can.
Manic Panic and Arctic Fox are better than Splat by a wide margin, but no semi-permanent dye can hurt you unless you are allergic to it.
Do not color your hair with koolaid unless you're okay with it never ever fading even with bleach.
Do not put bleach intended for your scalp on your eyebrows.
Just do your research, at least a little, on any chemical you want to use on your hair.
Have fun, be safe
I am so sick of guys asking me if I'm a boobs or ass kinda girl as soon as they find out I'm gay. Like the answer is neither, I don't care about how big a girls boobs are or her ass, I much prefer personality but if you really want to get into the physical stuff; I love when a girl wears off the shoulder tops where I can walk up and gently brush her hair away and kiss where her neck meets her shoulder. I love the way a girls eyes look in sunlight when you go on walks together just to enjoy each others company. I love girls fingers just how dainty they are whether she's brushing hair away or just taking notes in class, even the roughest girls have a softness to their hands. I love girls cheeks, when she gets flushed and they turn all rosy and she just looks like an absolute angel. So no, I'm not a boobs or ass kinda girl because I don't view women as sexual objects. They are so much more and they are all so beautiful.
cool !!!!
