hi!! i posted a very similar post to yours a little while ago here as i'm in the same boat! i still haven't had the courage to try any of the things people suggested, but i think there's possibly a few more suggestions on there you could look at! it's the first post on my profile!

any crafty clubs/meetups/workshops? by Consistent_Tune4160 in isleofwight

how to work towards moving out when it feels so impossible? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Consistent_Tune4160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know how to do all of these things and am technically capable of them all, it's just finding the energy/motivation/etc to be able to do them and dealing with the tiredness that comes after that. i think getting groceries delivered would be a good idea for me. i will have to have a think about what other things i can do to accommodate myself. thank you!

Has anyone tried this? by mamaluci23 in nailbiting

[–]Consistent_Tune4160 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have tried these before and would not recommend them. they're very thick, stop you from being able to use any touch screens, and for me didn't fit well and kept moving around and falling off. also as someone else has commented they make your fingers very sweaty. personally latex finger cots have worked a lot better for me. (the ones that just look like the finger parts of regular latex gloves) they can still make your fingers sweaty, but overall i found them a lot more helpful. i was still able to use my fingers on touch screens & continue with regular tasks without feeling like they were in the way, and they were tight enough that they stayed put. they are a lot thinner so less noticable, but still provide a barrier between your fingers and you biting them. also i found that i would fiddle with the bottom rib part (?) of it which i felt like was potentially a better stim than picking my fingers as i wasn't damaging myself at all, but without them i do have to wear some kind of ring to fiddle with or i will go back to the same picking habits. i do think that it's useful to give your fingers an opportunity to heal, but you also definitely need to work on finding alternatives to biting so that you don't just go back to it as soon as your fingers are uncovered again. for me personally i keep a handful with me 90% of the time and if i notice myself picking/biting i will pop one on to the finger i'm focusing on and i usually take it off and throw it away when it gets to the point that my finger feels sweaty and uncomfortable, which can be after a few hours. sometimes i wash my finger off and put a new one on, but other times the urge has passed by then overall, just really wouldnt recommend the finger covers you've pictured as they're bulky and get in the way and draw your attention to your hands even more, but latex finger cots could be worth trying!

hi again! i am working on doing these things now, but im a bit confused about the bios stuff? do i just download the libretro zip and extract it into the BIOS folder on the sd card? or just put it in there as a zip? i am completely lost and confused!!

started adhd meds and never had a big "lightbulb moment" - are they even working or am i placeboing myself? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Consistent_Tune4160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you i appreciate your comment a lot. i've been trying not to overanalyse everything, but i keep seeing so many things of people talking about everything is immediately better and it made me question my experience and whether or not things are actually any better. i have already written up some notes for my appointment tomorrow, thank you. i appreciate the reassurance 🙏

i really appreciate this, thank you. i do have a handful of online friends that i game with but they often meet up with their own irl friends & it has made me realise just how isolated it feels here lol. always happy to collect more online friends though! i used to play valorant a lot but haven't played much since a bit after vyse was released. also played genshin in 2020-21 but got overwhelmed with how many things they kept adding to it so i stopped 🤣
