I lost my favorite stones :(

Post Reply New Topic

I just found out today that my two favorite stones (the ones that my therapist gave me) are missing...I've looked in every conceivable place they could be....the car, my shelves/desk, my bag; I even called the Steak 'n' Shake that we went to a couple times last week. A lot of good THAT did...the woman who answered the phone was basically just like, "Someone might have picked them up, but if anyone did see them, they'd probably just throw them away, BYE," and then hung up. My mom's going to keep an eye out for them when she does laundry (they might be in the pockets of some of my clothes) but in the meantime, I'm looking on Ebay for fidget stones and rocks....I think what I'm going to have to do is buy an assortment and choose ones that feel "just right" to me. I have a few other stones, too (a worry stone, an amethyst fidget stone, and a dolphin totem) but they're not THE stones...they don't soothe my anxiety the way the other two do.

ETA: I found them! They were in the basement on the little table next to where I sit when I watch TV...I must have taken them out of my pockets to stim while watching and forgot them there.

I never thought I'd become so distraught over losing stones, and so relieved to find them....I didn't exactly melt/shut down when I realized they were missing, but I did get somewhat depressed....losing/misplacing Dory might have entailed a meltdown/breakdown of sorts, but I was pretty positive that my stones HAD to be somewhere in the house.

I'm happea that you've found your stones.

hey its ickis!! ! the eppy where he gets sent to the snortch and thinks time is on his side for a breif hopeful moment.
love the avie.
ahh! real monsters was one i liked a lot (when i was about 8ish(and onward)) then downloaded it on my computer a few months ago, and ive been watching all 4 seasons .

im also glad you found them, i know how important they can be.

Glad you found them! People sometimes think we're silly for being so fond of those particular stones but we all have our particular reasons. I don't have fidget stones, but I am fascinated by rocks. My husband sees them just as rocks but I see them as specimens.

I used to have what the old folks called "worry" stones,they were oval and there was a groove for your thumb to slide back and forth in.My parents got a couple for me when I was little to try and keep me from biting my fingernails.The gift shops here used to carry them.
I'm also glad you found them.I like to collect rocks,the creeks here have some cool ones and I've even found some fossils.
