Chewing on the Quiet

I bought a chew tool. It’s a small piece of silicone I can bite down on, and it’s in my mouth a lot now.

Before I had it, I tried not to chew on my fingers. That meant not stimming when I needed to. I’d catch myself doing it and stop, and then I’d just sit there with the need still running under my skin.

Now I chew freely. It’s better.
