#having sleep disorders is fun

[helladventurers]

Sleepy bitch mode going strong today 😪 am struggling to even stay awake despite the fact i slept for almost 12 hours

#having sleep disorders is fun #you either stay awake for 3 days unless you take meds or you sleep for half an entire day and your body goes 'not enough sleep another 12' #also thanks fate for teaching me the phrase 'sleepy bitch mode' it's my favorite combination of english words ever

Oh you’re queer and have ADHD? How’s trying to fix your atrocious sleep schedule coming along?

#queer #adhd #fun fact: many adhd people also have untreated sleep disorders

I really wish there was more insight as to why children are "picky eaters" because the way people go about "fixing us" can be detrimental to our relationship with food.

When I was a kid, I was obviously neurodivergent, and I wasn't tested for anything and never received any support. I was a huge "picky eater" to the point that going to a new restaurant with a menu I didn't know would send me into panic mode. I didn't understand why I felt that way, I didn't understand that I wasn't a selfish, horrible kid for being unable to force myself to eat. I'd be the person sitting at the dining room table for hours because I just couldn't force myself to eat the food I was given.

I understand why parents do that. It can be concerning when you think your kid isn't getting the proper nutrition. It's concerning when a kid's pallete is overly shrunk down. But if you're going about it in a punishing way, you only reinforce the idea that food is bad and dangerous. And if a child knows that eating their food would cause them less grief and stress than not eating the food, and yet they still will not or cannot eat, that's a sign. Maybe work with children, try to understand why they're a "picky eater." Chances are they're not doing it because they personally want to spite you and they despise your very aura.

#parenting #disordered eating #disordered eating tw #and honestly the punishment of food/mealtime is honestly one of the reasons it was *easy* for me to delve into more disordered behaviours #because there was already the looming idea that food was bad but i was worse for not conforming to people's expectations of what i eat #but it could have been so much easier if i was actually asked what about food made me so ridged and 'uncompliant' #and this isn't me saying that you can't/shouldn't address picky eating. i just don't think brute force is effective or appropriate... #...most of the time. many kids do have phases of picky eating and sometimes it's for no reason and sometimes it's because of big concerns... #...that brute forcing can't address. addressing the needs of a child is complex and takes time but it's worth it to get to a spot wherein... #...the child trusts that they're safe and that food isn't an enemy - it's just fuel and we can make that act taste great #just a thought my brain was like 'here's this before i got to sleep have fun thinking on it 👍'

Hey btw having depression is not a requirement for being goth and if you think it is I don't like you. That's a whole chronic illness, not a part of your "goth mindset"/"aesthetic". Please reflect on that.

#“depression makes you introspective and deep” no it just makes you periodically think everyone wants you dead for varying amounts of time #and makes it hard to get up and go to work and eat and sleep and talk to people and do literally anything #if you have depression and you're goth I'm proud of you because being an active part of a subculture is dedication and time and energy #shit's hard. love yall #I understand it usually comes from a place of misunderstanding but don't romanticize people's disabilities pls #mentally ill ppl have it hard enough without you Doing That #goth #goth subculture #gothblr #gothgoth #gothic #I'm mentally ill btw I should clarify that. wont go into details abt it but #I'm speaking from a place of not wanting people to treat my trauma like a fun afternoon activity that you have to do to be goth #you can still relate to and enjoy plenty of goth music without being diagnosed with a chronic illness like major depressive disorder #like a lot of songs are just about concepts like heartbreak or periods of grief or introspection but those are things most people experienc #disabled ppl might experience them differently or more intensely but they're widespread experiences nonetheless. #you don't need a mental illness to “get it” it came free with your humanity actually. you can think/feel deeply abt shit without a diagnosi #I'll stop rambling though #goth music #goth aesthetic #gothcore #mental illness #mental health #depression #goth is about music

I stg if I have covid for the THIRD FUCKIN TIME-

#Literally #I wish I was making this up #First got it mid-late 2022 #Got it for the second time just before Christmas (& honestly only felt 100% again around new years) #& now I might have it again #Also fun facts that I'm certain are completely irrelevant: #Autistic people have a higher chance of immune system disorders than most people #And Literally 0% of people in my local community wear masks! #They've all just accepted its 'going to be around forever'! #Not like there's numerous safe and effective vaccines! #The last 2-3 of which I highly doubt anyone has even got! Hell no one in my direct family even knew about em until #Another family member bought them up! #N e way. #I'm in hell #Though there's likw a 90% chance it's just a scare #& my sore throats just from sleeping w a fan on & window open in mid march

legit wondering if when I start going to the doc for all my physical shit I should ask abt who I should see abt maybe getting mood stabilizers

i'm sick of this unending cycle of getting eight million ideas and scrambling from one to the next before burning myself out on all of them and falling into a depression and hating myself for not doing any of the eight million things I was excited about

#i am losing my fucking mind here i cant fucking take it anymore #i dont think im bipolar i just think the adhd takes the wheel and fucking floors it #i dont have delusions of grandeur (not more than a flight of fancy that i know is unrealistic anyway) or like. euphoria. #i also dont not remember stuff from from those surges of inspiration #i mean i might forget something but thats bc i got distracted and my brain dumped it to focus on New Shiny Thing #this is the equivalent of my 2AM mental breakdown so bear with me here i am Going Through It when i should be sleeping #also it feels like theres shit crawling on me and there isnt but i cant sleep bc i am ITCHY WHY AM I ITCHY WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE THIS #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #fun fact: the sensation of shit crawling on you is called formication #which is really fucking funny #like i understand its from formica meaning ant but it is literally one letter away from fornication #anyway doing my usual webmd doom spiral and guess what gets formication as a symptom sometimes: bipolar disorder #im gonna laugh if i get a bipolar dx but it doesnt seem right #all the other options were autoimmune disorders like parkinson's and MS and fibro and RA #which. i might actually have rheumatoid arthritis. but the others? theyre scary. i dont wanna deal with that. #i dont even wanna deal with RA lets be real #farmer voice: i was just fine before i went to the doctor and now all of a sudden ive got an immune disorder #wait i dont think parkinson's is an autoimmune disorder thats a neurological condition #ok carry on #more fun facts since i am now down a wikipedia rabbit hole to distract myself from my itchy self #the process of ur limb falling asleep and going numb is called obdormition #then when the feeling starts coming back the pins and needles feeling is paresthesia #formication is an uncommon kind of paresthesia #obdormition is our funny word of the day and i look forward to telling someone about it randomly or for it to show up in a crossword soon #bc u know how u find something new and suddenly it's everywhere? #yeah. i get the feeling thats gonna happen here.

i think circadian rhythm disorders should count as a disability

#the pain disorder is hard too but this sleep shit has been My Entire Life #i stopped taking naps as a baby?? #i was late... so much.... my poor parents..... #summer? i turned into a raccoon #finally free #but it's like living with jet lag. for years. #i just can't do it anymore. it makes my fibromyalgia flare up #having guests over is gonna be so fun and at the end of it i will crash soooo hard lmao #i just can't sustain it anymore #sooo that eliminates most regular job options

[conzoop]

the worst part about college is keeping a routine I suck at gettin to sleep I need to just keep doing shit until I feel like im gonna pass out

this will take work to fix I'm not gonna make it if I need to function on 4-6 hours of sleep a night

#I have some non24 hour circadian rhythm disorder and it makes trying to keep sleep schedules in place so fun wheeeeee

[halinski]

.

#i... might have started avoiding sleep again :(( #the dreams are coming back slowly ever since we adjusted my meds :( #and the other day i woke up actively biting tbe inside of my cheek bloody #cant stop thinking about that #that was fun #ignore me #sleep disorder #parasomnia #:(

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Sleepy and bored how's it going?

#I'm. also in need of something else to think about cause what I'm currently thinking about won't process #it's just error messages #like bro what do you mean not having meds to raise the neurotransmitter levels in my brain could have cause narcolepsy #cause I am sleeping so much now it's unreal so yeah that's great and fun and I'm definitely not struggling with that at all #definitely talking to my clinician once I'm awake enough about this cause what the actual fuck my man #this is... actually preferrable to the whole 'awake but frustratingly not doing anything for what feels like no reason' situation #so... winning.......? #I don't know if that's how it actually works but fucking hellfire man what is this #best explanation I've got so far #I'm developing the whole alphabet of fucking brain stuff #collecting disorders and disabilities like pokemon cards #SEE THAT WAS A JOKE FROM LAST YEAR OR SOMETHING AND NOW I'M WONDERING IF I JINXED IT #which would still be kinda funny but INCREDIBLY UNHELPFUL #anyway yes gimme something all my waking hours are boredom and food right now it would be much appreciated #pop rox talks

I can't believe I got cursed and I have to pay over 100PLN to get the curse lifted smh

#guess who came back from the dermatologist #so uh #yeah it's actually psoriasis #guess I officially have two autoimmune diseases/disorders huh....... #either way that's a huge prescription I got there #by my standards anyways #apparently we'll be handling the dandruff too because apparently that's also reached the level of abnormality #but yeah the doc looked at it and went 'you got really unlucky with your genetics' #sir you don't know half of it..................... #but hey #honestly #I don't really care #I just want this to go away #the thought of maybe not having to go through the scratchy -> scratching -> in actual pain and can't sleep pipeline so often is so tempting #and so beautiful #that I might cry #he looked at my hands too #and what I thought was maybe some allergic reaction to the varnish I was using #is also psoriasis actually #so :) fun :) #he told me to keep my stress levels in check #sir I have an anxiety disorder.................. I'll try my best but it's probably not going to limit the stress to an acceptable level #anyways gotta go with the dog #and buy those meds

i am so painfully american in so many ways that I never even realized,,, like the Pain. Today I went out with my friends mom who doesn’t speak any english and oh my god was I a deer in the headlights all day. I feel soooo bad, also like she refused to let me pay for anything and gave me sooo much food and drove me around all day. I really don’t know how to thank her enough. I tried to give her a gift and she returned it to me without me even noticing... oh my god. ms. huang.. rlly.... TT thank u also I’m so sorry i’m so painfully timid and awkward

#i've never eaten like.. so many kinds of meat bc like.. yk.. americans only really like the "desireable' parts of the meat. so yea.. also i #have like a fear of swallowing bones.. long story. if u were here u were here for it. if u dont know .. its a Story. but yea so i was like. #this is... a painfully awkward meal. also i dropped my chopsticks TWICEEEEE.. pain. also I've never had shirmp with the head on so she #put one on my plate and i was like... uh.... i dont know how to eat this but I just looked out how the ppl around me did it so i got used t #it.. kinda.... god yea. and then she really kept giving me food but I have a small appetite due to the aforementioned fear of bones thing #it was a spell of disordered eating in hs. left me with a damaged throat and a reduced appetite. not body image related but trauma related #etc. etc.. so yea. i felt so bad. I was so full. she bought me so much. im sooo sorry.... but good news is i wont need to buy food at all #tmrw... and then sometimes she'd ask me a question and I'd legit have no clue how to respond. I;m so used to speaking multiple languages #with my classmates and my roommates so if i ever forget smth i can just use a diferrent language to explain and its.. so much harder to #speak only one language than i thought and hhhhh. also sidenote i COMPLETELY understand why my friend is the way she is... like yea no she #IS her mothers daughter hundred percent.... forceful. kind. not afriad to bargain. overall big appetite for life and yea no.. it makes sooo #much sense... i understand it ALL now...also her little brother is so rude.... god i don't like him. i see why she doesn't like him #like id never blame someone for hating their family but yea no i get it #hhhh so yea.. it was rlly fun but also.. a lot. super super grateful tho. #🐌.txt #also i am so tired.. what not getting enough sleep for a week will do to a mf

its my bday :)

#will update my age later bc i have to do it on my laptop #starting off my day with a hot shower and wondering if it's worth it to sleep #starting with a bath first actually #fun fact i used to exclusively take baths when i was younger bc i hadnt gotten enough of a hold on my depression or lack of energy yet to #want to ever stand in the shower #i separate those bc i dont have depression as a stand alone disorder and my lack of energy is there with or without it #what was i saying? oh yeah anyway i saw the error of my ways and now barely bathe n when i do its always followed by a shower #anyway im 22

It's always kinda funny how on my days off my sleeping schedule is almost flipped bc I'll be awake from 8am-7pm or so when work days I sleep 11am-3am so I'm awake most of the day rather than asleep most of it

Which happens bc when I get home the day before a day off I sleep from 1pm-8am 😅😅

#listen im tired and have both chronic fatigue syndrome AND delayed sleep phase disorder so this is normal for me dggdgdgdgd #my coworkers hate that i leave work at like 8am thinking i go home and am chilling or active the rest of the day and im really just asleep #sgdggdgd like man im not doing anything FUN im recovering 😭✌ #marquilla #i actually wake up around the same time daily when im off or not now ssgdgd just depends on if i go back to sleep
