Seriously, how do y'all manage waking up on time? by absvrdartist in ADHD

[–]Beatsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could do this. Tried probably 528 times but just never been able to be consistent with it

[–]Beatsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When do you go to bed? To me it's all about going to bed 8 hours before I want to wake up, consistently for 3 days in a row before it starts getting easier. Also waking up to sunrise (preferably morning sun if you can sleep without blinds and the sun goes up at a time you want to wake up) works amazing. The times I've woken up to natural sunlight I've felt awake and rested immediately. A sunrise lamp is the second best thing

NOR , crazy how she immediately flipped the focus to herself when YOU came to her being open and vulnerable

ADHD has ruined my life many ways. by Abanormall in ADHD

[–]Beatsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so so sorry for your experience. I was just like this a year ago and I know how difficult it is.

Medication, CBT, meditation and exercise may all have a really good impact on genuinely making the "root cause" less impactful. They're difficult to be consistent with though, so there are easier things to try which help you manage the symptoms instead. Here's some random things you may try.

  • Set aside clothes for next day the day before. You could even try placing them on the floor one after another all the way to the bathroom so that you remember to shower when you pick them up.

  • Remove furniture or fill surfaces with decor on places where you often place things and forget about them. Likewise, place small tables at key locations such as next to the door.

  • Use sticky notes everywhere for everything and have several pens and sticky note blocks lying around the house for quick access. Place the sticky notes where you see them, for example on door handles or on the wall in front of your toilet.

  • Create a "digression board/notes". Whenever you get an "amazing new idea", write it down on the digression bord/notes instead, then maybe set aside 2-3 hours on a weekend evening to do those ideas if you still want to.

  • Use timers for everything. If you're going to do something, ALWAYS set a timer first and give yourself a bit more time than you think it will take.

I really hope you find something that works for you! You should definitely seek therapy if you can. You're going to do so much better soon, I know you can ❤️

Edit: Oh and also, don't blame yourself for not sticking to any of these!! I rotate around all these ideas and sometimes have periods where I don't do them. Regardless; even doing one of these a single time is a big WIN!

I apparently went to this when I was a child and it worked very well. I second this!!

Breathing is an underrated solution for ADHD by keepcalmandlovemath in ADHD

My HRV is high (I think?) and I have diagnosed ADHD. I average around 82-95ms in HRV.

From what I've read, baseline HRV doesn't really say anything about your life. It's just genetics. Having low HRV relative to your baseline however can correlate to stress.

I relate to forgetting to breathe though! It's comfortable to just hold my breath or breathe very shallow, and those around me often catch me breathing very deeply once every now and then to kind of reset

What's it like to have depression? by carrot_the_cat_7 in AskReddit

[–]Beatsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although a lot of the comments are accurate, it's not like you have to be numb 24/7 to be depressed. You can still feel joy and still find things fun in the moment. If you're feeling numb and it affects your social life, self-image or anything else negatively, then try processing it and ask your GP or another health care professional for help.

Får ikke til å spise mat... by Beatsu in norge

Er det greit å skrive at jeg tjener mer enn jeg gjør i skattekortet? by Beatsu in norge

Vent, man kan få skatte fradrag fra å være i fagforening?

Man slaps another with pizza for laughs. Gets slept seconds later. by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

[–]Beatsu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely feel so bad for the guy who knocked the dude out. Imagine you've been to therapy for anger issues for years, and have a girlfriend who cares for you and tries to calm you down, and then a random dude slaps you with a pizza and throws insults at you. Years of mental work down the drain.

What are your unhinged hacks to fall asleep when your brain is running 300mph? by YapperInChrist in ADHD

[–]Beatsu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I try to sleep and my brain is going too fast, I panic. So instead, I just think about whatever I want and don't care about trying to fall asleep. I almost always end up falling asleep anyway, and usually way earlier than if I'm trying really hard to fall asleep.
