This checklist card helps people identify why they might be feeling ‘off’ - ideal for people with poor interoception, or brain fog, which can make it harder to identify internal signals like hunger, pain, thirst etc.
It says: "Feeling ‘off’? Check if you are: • Hungry • Thirsty • Tired • In pain • Needing the toilet • Too hot or cold • Lonely • Bored Or are you needing to cope with: • Noise • Light • Stress • Strong emotions • New information • Demands/expectations. Go through the list again, to double check!"
It can either be used as a self-prompt, or as something for others to read to help you work out what you need. We have tried to include as many universal options as possible, but the back of this checklist has a blank space, so you can write additional information if you wish.
Ideas for things to write include additional things to check that are personal to you:
Taken meds? Hormonal? Checked vitals? Under or overstimulated? Adjusting to a new routine? Grieving?
Another option is to use the back to list some strategies. For example for things like pain management – what to do if you decide the reason you feel off is because of pain.
These 110x80 mm cards have rounded corners and a hole to the top left.
They are made from a synthetic polyester material that is resistant to water and tearing without lamination. Creating cards that are flexible, durable, waterproof, and lightweight.
You can write on the card with ballpoint, fountain pen or pencil. Due to the coating, once written on, the writing cannot be erased.
