Does anyone else suck their thumb?
I’m a 17 year old. Whenever I get really stressed out i suck my thumb. It makes me feel really calm and warm. Sometimes I’ll hide under my parents bed and suck my thumb until I fall asleep. The combination of the thumb and the warmth and the darkness really helps me calm down when I’m scared. Sometimes I’ll do it as I fall asleep or I’ll suck on my blanket.
It just feels so freaking good! Sometimes I’ll start crying too and it’s very confusing. It’s like sucking the thumb makes me feel a longing to breastfeed on someone, but then I get really upset because I know that’ll never happen probably.
It feels amazing but it’s also torture.
I don’t know what to do. It’s so freaking addicting!
