HELLO MISCEANIMALIS AND THERIAN COMMUNITY!! It’s nesting season where I am and I CANT SLEEP!! It’s been 2 night stuck awake until 3 or 4 am and it’s taking a toll on me! please give me some hints or tips on how to sleep bc this is the second night in a row. It’s 3 am PLEASE
oh- below is what I’ve tried to cope
I tried building a nest but it’s too cold in my dorm to keep it up.
I have tried getting a snack or drink
I cant smell my alpha or scent them bc they’re 45 mins away and the hoodie I had from them that did smell no longer smells like them
I tried just listening to music or watching the little playlist of videos my alpha streams for me to watch if they pass out.
I’m new to the community (both A/B/O and therian though I’ve been aware of my therianism for a year) but never believed that the seasons have been effecting me like this bc it’s EVERY fall that this happens. I need help so bad PLEASE 🙏
Extra info that may be important is that I’m a bunny therian and omega. My alpha and I both just randomly realized one day that the shared “ghost limbs” we had were not simply autism but an actual thing non-autistic people experience.
As a misce citizen I can confirm I do knead

Nesting, scenting, purring, scruffing... A lot of animalistic behaviours have been attributed to omegaverse characters. But there's one I've never seen used, and that's a shame. Have any of you heard about... Kneading?
Also known as making biscuits.
It's something kittens do with their mums, but older cats often do that with their favourite humans or soft toys and blankets!
It's associated with nest-making and scenting. Famous omegaverse things!
(as well as with heats in queens, but I'm trying to keep the post sfw, so shhhh)
Pups could do that with their parents! Omegas (and other nest-makers) could do that with their nests! And everyone could give friendly little massages to their friends!
(or make them a pizza, but like, as an Omegaverse Instinct™ thing)
So consider: kneading.
Scheduling this for when I'm at school so yeah but like listen
Being a system is the wildest shit because NONE of us look like the body. We happened to stop looking in mirrors a good while ago because we just- didn't look in the direction of a mirror or care to look at ourselves so every once and a while it's just:
"Man I wonder if I have plaque on my teeth rn lemme lo-" cut off by the staring and internal thoughts of "Wait where did my brown hair go why am I covered in acne and why are my teeth so wack-" and scanning the body in the mirror like it's a foreign object in mf Subnautica in disbelief. Then it hits that you ARENT a cute lil cis man with small hands but rather a fat white trans man with uncomfortable everything.. and small hands unfortunately that stays-
BUT THEN IT GETS W A C K BECAUSE A SECOND REALIZAYION HITS THAT YOU'RE A GROWN ASS MAN IN THE BODY OF A MINOR??
I feel almost like a creep for just sitting here like 🧍♂️
But then again our headspace is all grown men except like three teenagers in which only ONE is actually a woman??
AND THEN WHAM WHAM WHAM TRIPLE WHIPLASH BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS MY ANATOMY NOT CORRECT BUT ITS D O U B L E NOT CORRECT BECAUSE IM MISCE SO LIKE WHAT THE FUCK!!
Ain't nothing right here and my only meds is time and money to mold myself into a new shape (man) like pottery.
BUT THAT ONLY SOLVES TWO WHABLOOEYS BECAUSE MISCE DYSPHORIA CANNOT BE PHYSICALLY FIXED WTF
..yall it's too late at night for this put me down
To sleep.
My least favourite pipeline has to be the shocker-whiplash-triple whablooey because it happens within five seconds and my life crumbles before my (and the body's) very eyes
