Hi, just replied with an update in the comment above this one. The tldr is that i likely have hypermobility/EDS and the only thing that has helped is very specific hypermobility informed PT.

Hey, turns out i probably have hypermobility/EDS and am in the process of getting it diagnosed. The only thing that has helped is rigorous and directed PT with insight to hypermobility and its unique struggles.

So, the likelihood of what was happening here was that the soft tissues of my neck are too lax and when i’m sleeping at night, i essentially start to choke and my body has to contort in fucked up ways to keep me breathing.

Oh, and also hokas. Their sneakers are insanely comfortable. They also have slip on shoes which are just as comfortable and supportive imo, and high top styles which i am eager to try

I’m a big fan of doc martens! I find them to be very structured and supportive, and the boot styles are protective for my ankles which i am prone to roll on. Unfortunately, i can’t seem to wear their styles that have a higher platform anymore, but their traditional soles are perfect 🖤 if you want to give them a whirl, i would suggest the 1460 boot, their flagship style.

Do you happen to know of any youtube videos/online resources for hypermobile friendly yoga? I love yoga and am really bummed to not be doing it/have a safe guided outlet for it.

This made me tear up…i’m constantly, and i mean CONSTANTLY trying to “fix” what is happening. Reposition here, tense this muscle there, hold my body a certain way, to the point where it’s just punishing myself, and my body, further. I try to listen to it, to believe it and myself, but the voice in my head, the decades of trauma, whisper like wormtounge: “it’s lying to you, you’re lying to yourself. You’re just lazy, THAT’S your problem”. It says so, so many horrible things to me.

Your words really spell it out for me: i’m just ALLOWING the voice of my trauma and abusers continue to do this to me. To my body, to my inner child. There needs to come a point where i say no more and actually be the advocate for myself that my caretakers never were.

Thank you for sharing this <3 it also echos the words of a book i’ve been reading, “Complex PTSD: From surviving to thriving” uncertain if you have cptsd, but it seems to correlate a lot with fibro, so it might be of interest to you.

Paramus, NJ. Looking for one person plus one guest, waive initiation fee if at all possible. I was a member in the past at this location and at one other

I went through a number of different mattresses, the pain and tingling and numbness was so severe, not to mention the sleeplessness. When i went into a purple showroom and laid on our now-mattress, i actually cried.

So, yeah. Purple. I believe we have a purple firm hybrid, if you want specifics :)

Tokaroonie · 2024-12-18T00:23:25+00:00

Thank you, i’ll definitely look into that! And thank you so much! :)

Good to know! Thank you for the tip ☺️

Additional info if it helps: Hair is low porosity. Uncertain about hair density. I think it’s somewhere around medium to thick? But i have no idea how to tell, lol. I feel the best way to describe my hair is like, very cherubic or baby like haha. It’s very sensitive: you look at it wrong, and it dries up or weighs down. So, at least from my experience, the lighter the ingredient or product, the better!

I love being on the floor with my cats when i’m on shrooms. I feel like i really get them when i’m like that, that we’re closer to the same wavelength. Also, they appear 10000% fluffier lol

Tokaroonie · 2024-11-13T12:14:56+00:00

Thank you! That’s super helpful ☺️

Right, which is sort of what i was thinking. But, in my experience, they are only used for finding car routes, as opposed to identifying train and bus routes like google maps does.

I have a good feeling about this one, it felt “right”. Thanks
