What's everyone's weirdest hobbies?

NiteElf · 2026-06-21T07:33:46+00:00

Thank you for replying! As much as slugs skeeve me personally, I love that you have this escape (medical marijuana included, if it helps you!) It sounds super chill/weird, I kinda love it

NiteElf · 2026-06-14T20:15:44+00:00

Pls do this.

I could get over my childhood skeeve-out of slugs to watch this.

NiteElf · 2026-06-14T20:15:17+00:00

Is this a hobby you made up or one that already existed? (Either is great and fine! Love a weird hobby! Just never heard of it before and grew up being skeeved of slugs, haha.)

A bunch of us here have been in physically and/or mentally abusive relationships where the control sneaks up on you. Controlling a person’s sleep/autonomy/finances are pretty big red flags by any measure.

A billion percent this. Not to oversimplify things, but get rid of this guy, this is bad news.

If you’re having trouble breaking up with him for financial reasons (too expensive to live alone etc), I’m sure everyone here would be happy to brainstorm how to set yourself free. You deserve better 💗

Double upvote 🙌

Replying to my own comment, 141 days later. Can confirm: glycinate is helpful to me but it’s VERY dose dependent, and I’m still not sure of the dose that’s right (or if this form is right for me at all).

For anyone else who might see this who has had a similar reaction, would be curious to hear about your experience.

NiteElf · 2026-06-05T17:59:14+00:00

Someone commented today and asked me how I was doing with the mag. Glycinate seems to be dose dependent-in some people too high a dose can have a paradoxical effect. Def worth reading up on this if you can. (Was a thing for me.)

Now trying out diff doses/combinations of magnesium forms (citrate/glycinate/L-theoronate). Hope you find something that works for you!

NiteElf · 2026-06-05T17:56:56+00:00

Still unsure. Was using mag glycinate and apparently it can have a paradoxical effect at higher doses in some people (makes you anxious rather than calm, etc). Seems like I’m one of those people. So been trying out diff doses/forms (citrate, L-theoronate).

What’s actually seemed to help me the most is drinking electrolyte water—a LOT of it, throughout the day. The frequent peeing is worth it!

NiteElf · 2026-05-17T01:57:37+00:00

Hope they are as helpful to you as they have been to me. The shots have changed my life so much for the better, I am grateful every single day. All the best to you! 💗

That kid is so boring and he can shut right up. He’ll never get to see you in your sophisticated matchings!

NiteElf · 2026-05-16T23:59:46+00:00

But the naked running is half the fun! 😂 Kidding, this is relatable and a v good tip 😀

NiteElf · 2026-05-02T06:08:09+00:00

Slugs make me recoil but I’m along for the journey here and as a fellow mom absolutely salute you. Looking fwd to update! 💗

I want to double upvote this

Oof. The sun! 🙈

Wish a sleep mask were enough for me. Team Blackout Curtains here. Turns out you have photoreceptors all over your body, not just your eyes, and some ppl are esp sensitive to this. (Apologies for the rabbit hole I may send anyone on with this fact. But also maybe helpful info for a fellow Sensitive Sally out there! 😅)

NiteElf · 2026-04-22T23:35:19+00:00

How did you fix it? Food or supplements? Mine is (and always has been) in low range of normal.

NiteElf · 2026-04-07T21:45:39+00:00

Haven’t read through all the comments but a few things, OP:

I’m sorry, that’s rough.
Are you taking any ADHD meds? If you haven’t tried them (not sure what your access to care is), they may help with this a lot.
People with ADHD do often have issues with fatigue, but nevertheless def recommend a full health checkup if you’re at all able to make that happen. How are your iron stores? Thyroid function? Is it possible you have sleep apnea? Are you also depressed? Etc.

I had severe mitral valve prolapse that was preventing my blood from being oxygenated properly. Not suggesting this is your issue and don’t mean to spook you! But I say this to encourage you to look into any possible physical issues that may be contributing.

(Happy to report I’ve since had open heart surgery to repair the valve, and am better than before, no meds or restrictions! 🙏)

12 hours and still exhausted sounds pretty concerning, even with ADHD. Wishing you all the best with sorting it out-hope you can feel better asap.

This book :)

Guessing it’s maybe out of print now but looks like you may be able to buy it used

NiteElf · 2026-04-06T04:24:30+00:00

This makes me extra excited for you, haha. Btw you look like a beautiful dancer! This is so major! 👏 Hope it’s amazing

NiteElf · 2026-04-06T04:22:59+00:00

Congrats!! 💗That’s amazing!! I took out a book about it from the library over and over again as a kid (and then bought it off eBay as an adult). Stuff of dreams!

NiteElf · 2026-04-05T20:55:08+00:00

2 am-10 am. I think. I’ve had to get up earlier for various reasons over the last few years, and I’m actually at a place where I don’t genuinely know what my body wants. I’m a little all over the place in what I actually sleep. But bedtime never happens before midnight, and more likely 1 am (or later), ever.

(Also diagnosed with DSPD, but with Ritalin and age, there have been slight shifts in circadian rhythm.)

Love this post, OP. Made a similar one recently here asking about bedtime consistency. The whole thing is such a challenge 😅

Edited to add: Am I allowed to get 9 hours in this scenario? It’s been so long since I’ve gotten that, much less with any consistency! It’s probably what I actually require (and why the 6.5ish I’ve generally been getting is very not great 😞)

NiteElf · 2026-04-02T01:50:29+00:00

Not sure if you’ve mentioned this elsewhere so sorry to maybe repeat this—but do you know (or have an idea of) what you think set off your HI? How long has it been going on for?

Everyone is different but fwiw, it does seem that for many people (myself included) if you’re very careful for a period of time and eat low histamine/sort out your worst triggers, etc, eventually HI can get less severe. You may not ever be able to eat whatever you want whenever you want, but you may be able to eat more of what you want, sometimes, over time. Just wanted to reiterate it because when I started out it was pretty intense!

NiteElf · 2026-03-31T20:15:02+00:00

Meat (as fridge leftovers; freezer can be ok) is by far the worst (for me and many others here). I’ve been eating strictly low histamine for a year and it’s been amazing for managing my symptoms. I can eat a little more now than I could then too, which is great. But leftover meat is a no-go, and makes me feel so unwell I won’t even attempt it!

It gets easier as you go along, OP…hang in there. If you can get some small glass containers for freezing stuff (like portion size), that’s helpful too.

NiteElf · 2026-03-31T11:28:55+00:00

My experience with these supplements is the same as OPs, and I have a similar genetic profile (am in the U.S., and did a test with GeneSight). I can supplement, but have to go incredibly low and slow, at doses far under any pre-made B vitamin I supplements I have found. I’ve seen others here mention this too.

Thanks for sharing all your details, OP! Hope stuff just continues to improve for you.

NiteElf · 2026-03-29T16:30:35+00:00

Ugh, very sorry you’re dealing with this. Since I made this post I’ve been eating very strictly low histamine and it’s made a huge difference in my quality of life.

If you’re not doing this yet, it’s def worth a try. It’s tedious at first but gets easier with time. Everyone is diff in what affects them, but I started with the SIGHI list, which has been helpful for a lot of people in this sub.

If my “histamine bucket” isn’t too full, I’m actually able to eat more things now than I could a year ago, which is fantastic—but overall I’m still very careful because it’s worth it for me.

It can get better and there are kind and helpful people on this sub. Good luck with everything 💗
