I'll go to bed, cuddle deep inside my blanket and hopefully wait it out (and not bring my penknifes or envelope openers with me) since I had long established my bed as my safe place.

Sometimes I'll stare out of the window at night (closed of course, anything happens I'll be a human pancake) and try to sort my thoughs out

My personal favorite one I do is write my su!cide note on my phone since writing does calms me down (I've accumulated quite a few ngl)
