Bread with cheese.

It’s been so long since the last time you heard this song, you thought you had forgotten, but then you just listen and all the memories and feelings come back. It doesn’t last, but for a few seconds, time traveling is possible. 

Music is that powerful.

literally every sleep advice pamphlet and website: don’t do things before bedtime! no reading! no video games! don’t watch tv! nothing stimulating at all within two hours of going to bed! :)

me, an adhd: you fools. you buffoons. i can’t even manage one minute without stimulation. i will die before following this advice and that is a threat

My go-to-sleep routine involves ramping down with less stimulating input for a couple hours, but having some form of media until I literally can’t keep my eyes open.

Of course, my sleep schedule is “surprise me,” so this may not be the best advice.

If you’re someone who experiences an absence of stimulation as [negative] stimulation, it makes sense that that advice wouldn’t work for you. 

(I don’t know whether it’s that way with ADHD, but it can be with autism, so I’m thinking it’s likely.)

Health advice that excludes disabled people is a constant irritation.  I saw an article once about research supposedly finding that spending much time sitting down shortens your life, and someone who needed a wheelchair full-time commented underneath “Well, that’s me fucked, then”.  Sums it up.

Heyyyyyyyy you want a piece of life-changing advice from your local ADHD gremlin?

Hang out in bed.

I kept hearing that you should only be in your bed for sleep and that all your other activities - like reading, internetsing, talking on the phone, playing games, etc. - should be done somewhere other than the bed so that you could associate the bed with sleep.

You know how I’ve averaged three to five hours of sleep a night for about seventeen years? (you probably didn’t know; let me tell you IT SUCKED) I’m approaching a MUCH healthier average of five to seven hours through the simple expedient of hanging out in bed around bed time.

You know why?

Because I would get sleepy out in my not-bed but I couldn’t get my executive function to cooperate with getting me into bed.

I’d sit in my chair and hang out on tumblr or have a book in my hand and around 3 am I’d be fighting to keep my eyes open but I wouldn’t get the motivation to get out of my chair and go to bed until around 4.

Now I start hanging out in my bed at about midnight and when I get tired at one or two I can just take off my glasses and go to sleep. There are still hyperfocus incidents - I’ve gotten sucked into a book until 6 once or twice since I started doing this, but that’s once or twice in four months instead of going to bed at 5am every night.

So yeah, FUCK sleep hygeine if it’s actually preventing you from getting to sleep. There is no way the blue light from my phone could be worse for sleep than the ADHD “I’ll get up and go to bed in a minute” mode was for me.

this is the bedtime version of “running the dishwasher twice”

pay the ADHD tax upfront; embrace the second-best solution rather than the perfect one you’re half as likely to do or use

this is just wild

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.

I just wanna add to clarify the psychosomatic thing.

That word DOES NOT MEAN you’re making it up. It doesn’t mean you’re imagining the symptom. What it means is that the symptom ISN’T DIRECTLY CAUSED BY ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD NORMALLY CAUSE IT.

I fought to get a PCOS diagnosis for 2 and a half years. For the ENTIRE time I was fighting, I was dealing with 3 cysts that were not going away by themselves and eventually required surgery to remove. At one point close to the end of the battle, I suddenly went blind. I was visiting my parents and was standing on the veranda looking out over the tree we had planted in memory of my dog and suddenly I got one of the shooting pains that I was quite frankly used to at that point and my vision started to go dark. It was like the sun was setting while being completely hidden behind storm clouds but it was 2pm in the middle of Summer on a clear day. Within about 30 seconds I couldn’t see ANYTHING. I was 27 years old and I was screaming for my mother.

My mum raced me to her doctor (he was a 15 minute drive away as opposed to 45 minutes to the nearest hospital) and he quickly worked out that there was nothing wrong with my eyes and what had happened was totally unrelated to them. Then he said it was psychosomatic and I freaked out, yelling that I was NOT making this up and I definitely wasn’t imagining it. Very quickly he calmed me down and said he believed me and I had misunderstood. He explained that whatever was going on with my abdominal pains (he suggested PCOS which I hadn’t even heard of at that point) had been ignored for so long that my body was starting to do things other than the normal pain response to try to draw my attention to the problem. My sight going was my body basically jumping around in front of me going “HEY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME HELLLOOOOOOO??????”

He gave me some prescription strength painkillers and my sight started to come back as soon as they started to kick in. About 45 minutes after it started I could see well enough to walk around without help and within a day and a half I was back to normal. On top of that I finally had a scan booked to figure out what the hell was causing all the pain.

Psychosomatic symptoms are NOT imagined or fabricated or happening for “no reason”. Experiencing them DOES NOT make you a liar. It makes you someone who has been battling with something serious for so long that your own body has started to get impatient with you.
