I learned that when I was younger. It calms me down. I wrap myself tightly in a blanket or sheet and stay in this position, no matter how long it takes. Sometimes, if I've been really worried for a few days and couldn't calm down at all while doing this, I almost fall asleep, as it's so relaxing. The calming effect can last from an hour to a whole day, depending on how I feel. Often it even stops me from wanting to hurt myself.
There have been cases where being restrained by another person has had this effect, such as when I was in a secure ward and then in a psychiatric ward. But it wasn't as reliable, because sometimes people were rude, or I didn't like them, or they did it wrong. But when it was someone kind and patient, it made me calm down.
I have been diagnosed with BPD, depression, anxiety, OCD, and short-term psychosis, but I think only anxiety and OCD are true. The only people I've heard of are those with autism, and I don't have it. Is it strange that I find it relaxing? Is there anyone else or am I alone?
