One comment about my stimming changed how I mask at work
A coworker at the hospital told me my pen-clicking was 'distracting' during a 2am shift, so I swapped to a silent fidget cube I got for $8 on Amazon, and now I actually focus better on my vitals charting, has anyone else found a specific fidget that works in a quiet setting?

That pen clicking thing hit home for me... I used to chew on the ends of my scrub tops during night shifts and got called out by a charge nurse for looking 'unprofessional'. Swapped to a silicone necklace I can tug on, nobody even notices it. Funny how one comment can flip a switch in your head, right? I also found that having my hands busy actually makes my charting faster, like my brain needs that little outlet to keep the rest of it locked in. Quiet settings are brutal when you're trying to hold it together, so honestly, whatever works without getting flagged is a win.
