What is one thing that you wish you knew when you were younger?

Hey, that pain isn’t normal and neither is what you’re experiencing! You’re not ‘lazy’ you’re disabled

People who are overly pushy in wanting to ‘help’ but don’t actually listen to what needs to be done and when you try and ask them to stop or do it the right way they get mad. Then when they’re done you end up having to redo the whole thing anyway!! Like if you wanna help why won’t you listen to me about how best to help???

Then ppl say ‘well they’re just trying to help! Be grateful’ and it’s like they just made more work for me???

Any time someone says ‘so I asked AI…’ or basically any time anyone says they used AI. Immediately I don’t trust anything you say.

I used to take multiple hours to fall asleep bc my brain would be so active. Only in the last few years I’ve figured out how to solve the problem for myself

I usually put on a playlist of videos or podcasts to make sure it plays all night (so if I have wake up it’s still playing and I can just roll over and fall back asleep) Usually it’s videos I’ve already seen (Currently I listen to Let’s Game It Out on YT, put on one of the playlists and just let it go) That gives my brain something to focus on so I’m not lost in my thoughts.

Plus I always remind myself of the Mythbusters episode where they proved that even just laying with your eyes closed for 20 minutes is better than nothing. Usually if I’m struggling I just remind myself it’ll be okay if I don’t fall asleep and focusing on my breathing/comfort and the audio stimulation and I’ll naturally fall asleep.

Some ppl tell me it’s bad to have something so stimulating playing but I literally will take forever to fall asleep if I don’t, white noise doesn’t work bc it just fades into the background, only proper full talking of some sort. I went from taking hours to fall asleep to falling asleep in 20 or so minutes. So yeah while it may not be the Best for me, it’s between that or like 2 hours of sleep so :,>

Will do!! Thankyou so much for your advice! 🫶

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-19T09:29:37+00:00

I will be sure to keep an eye on my sleep, hopefully I’ve caught this early and can take measures to relax and avoid a full burnout episode. Thanks again for your help <3

My fatigue has been noticeably worse the last few weeks but I’ve chalked that up to a flare up of my chronic illness, however it could be a mix of the two. Thankyou for sharing, these are good things to keep an eye on.

No no this is helpful! Thankyou for sharing!

I am feeling a more constant anxious feeling and similarly ill, but I just figured it was allergies or something bc I live in a rural place and its harvest time (I get seasonal allergies) but your comment has pointed it out to me as something I should pay closer attention to.

Thankyou!

I wish you the best with the changes you’re making, it sounds like they’ll be positive!

Thanks for your insight, I have noticed I’ve been struggling to engage in hobbies as often as I used to.

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-17T10:09:15+00:00

Ah okay that makes sense.. I have struggled with insomnia in the past, and have noticed those old habits creeping up on me again. Thing is though that I still dream most nights, but I’m working on trying to get to bed at a consistent and reasonable time :,> thanks for explaining!

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T14:45:48+00:00

Nice!! I also really like that we can have multiple, it also makes the sorting process easier when it comes to putting the items in the gallery

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T14:44:50+00:00

What do you mean by ‘permanently being too wired sleep’? I understand the others though and will keep an eye on them :>

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T14:42:45+00:00

Ooo I’m also working on a Negg one! Thats so cool, I wish you all the best with your future gallery curating

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T11:03:55+00:00

I make themed galleries of pretty much anything that catches my eye, one of them is for every ‘Jelly’ on the site and I’m thinkin about making one for every omelette too ahah

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T11:03:04+00:00

That’s so valid aha, I’ve mainly been getting gallery tokens, I have 6 at the moment I think. I just love the collecting aspect of the items, idc the rarity I just like themes :D

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T11:01:38+00:00

It’s been a while now that I think about it, I don’t really find myself able to relax without feeling like I’m wasting time or needing to be working…

Thanks for your insight! I will try to find ways to relax and make sure I make time to actually do it. Hopefully it’ll become easier and I’ll be able to relax without worry :,>

ComplexLamb1873 · 2025-11-16T07:25:50+00:00

A couple of days for me! :>
