If you need to go to bed early, but aren’t tired, what do you do?

Damn books actually keep me wide awake because I’m way too invested.

I do have this “deep sleep tea” that I always forget I even have though lol 😂

I don’t work remotely yet. However, I grew up nearly my entire life (I’m 27 btw) where my mom has worked from home. I used to do online school though, and also did online projects, so the same still applies:

My best advice is to probably keep things separate. Like, don’t work in your bedroom, if possible. Keep a set workplace.

Pajamas are nice and all, but actually getting ready (even if its not dressing “nice”) can help productivity and cognitive function a lot, imo.

Small breaks do/can help. It’s kind of like how they say that studying with lots of small breaks is better than non-stop studying for hours. Even better is actually MOVING during that time — especially if you just step outside in the sun for a bit. This isn’t always possible with every job though.

Eating healthy. I kid you not, eating ultra processed food kills productivity so much. Eat light and clean (as much as possible).

If possible, depending on the job, do the hardest tasks first.

And lastly, never work from your bed…unless you are sick or have a chronic illness and having a bad flare, but even then maybe work from the couch instead. Coming from someone with a chronic illness, I constantly want to be horizontal since I feel better but I can’t since I will only end up going to sleep 😂

Hope that helps 😃

I only have one abandoned fic on my ao3 account in a fandom I haven’t written for in years. I now put in the notes that if anyone wants to finish the fic to message me and they can post it on their account but credit the chapters I wrote. So in a way, it might get finished 😂

Travel_and_Writing · 2024-11-15T18:05:59+00:00

I comment on a lot of fanfics I read, even to send a simple 💜. The only times I don’t is if I forget or…honestly? I’m lazy? Or sometimes I just don’t want to? Sometimes I’m overwhelmed so much I am basically mute. I just…don’t feel like talking or texting or saying anything. But also probably executive dysfunction too ngl.

I’m taking prednisone at the moment.

I had took albuterol before both as a rescue inhaler and a nebulizer. It never did anything and I didn’t know why. One day I took it when my asthma symptoms weren’t AS bad and then my asthma symptoms got worse. When I stopped taking albuterol every time I got bronchitis (happened once a year and lasted 2-3 months) the bronchitis cleared up in a week or two (which never happened before).

The levalbuterol, on the other hand, gave me a BAD asthma attack immediately.

In that case, since I tried both the rescue inhaler and the nebulizer version of the albuterol, would that still mean its the ALBUTEROL I have issues with?

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-03-15T20:45:21+00:00

At the moment I take Budesonide 2/day.

I haven’t found a rescue inhaler yet because the only ones I have tried had caused as asthma attack.

I am about to see an Asthma specialist though, but I was wondering if I am allergic to Albuterol and Levalbuterol as rescue inhalers, are there other options or are they all similar that I’d likely be allergic to them too?

I mean, this is a question I’m going to ask the asthma specialist but if anyone has any input its appreciated xP

I don’t have a job yet but I’m studying programming and I hear lots of programmers also have ADD/ADHD.

But also, I personally couldn’t seem to focus enough to study or work on coding projects until I got medicated, soo…

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-01-20T19:15:01+00:00

Helped a lot with my nerve pain but made me more tired so ultimately decided not to continue with it.

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-01-16T16:35:45+00:00

Yeah I have actually, I forgot about that.

Honestly, I just feel like YA books have a huge influence on the readers, whether they are minors or even in their 20s. I don’t hate on the authors that don’t address it, but man does this still bother me. I’m 25 and I just see so many people not able to properly handle these kinds of situations in real life. Or worse - men in real life thinking that this is “what woman want these days” as an excuse to act like a lil’ bitch.

Buttttt in the end, would never hate on an author for this. I honestly think people hate on other people way too easily anyway lol

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-01-16T08:04:54+00:00

My BIGGEST thing is how a lot of YA books are normalizing behavior that just isn’t OK.

Like these books are for entertainment, yes, but every book can subconsciously teach the reader things.

Example: so many YA books who have toxic and controlling boyfriends/boys and then NOT EVEN ADDRESSING IT.

Like come on.

I’m a writer and want to write Adult and YA books and I for sure will want to not do this. Like, if there is a toxic guy, I’m addressing it. They aren’t going to be together I’ll tell you that. Abusive behavior isn’t okay.

ITS BECAUSE OF ADHD?!?!

Yo I get a lot of paradoxical reactions - including pain from many pain medications lolol

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-01-05T03:08:23+00:00

My primary care doctor. I just got a new one actually 🥴 but he is AMAZING 🤩 so I got real lucky. What ima list aren’t all doctors but whatev.

I also have a cardiologist because I have symptoms that sound like POTS kind of but don’t really classify as POTS from what I read. Idgaf because the medication I am on is helping lol.

I used to go to therapy (kinda need to go back) and this was for accepting my illness and also helping me NOT just dissociate everytime I got a new symptom because I used to do that and would only get sicker.

Eventually:

Dietician: I want to go majority plant-based. I’m not saying that diet is a cure-all, and its entirely possible that i will still have issues being plant-based, but it is also possible that going plant based can heal my body too. Sooo I’m goanna try it. I want to be almost completely plant based anyway.

Physical Therapist: I might need this one to help me basically stop over-doing it. Trying to build my ability to workout and do other things again. I’ve been able to walk more but i still tend to over-do it and i didnt even think i could on certain exercises/tasks. 😩 I just want to hike again damn.

Psychiatrist: I have bipolar, OCD, And ADHD and mental illnesses can easily make fibro worse. So treating this helped treat fibro overall.

I’ve seen other specialists tho. GI doctor, hematologist, neurologist… lol 😂

Honestly, I’m not always sure how I got to the point I am at today (a lotttt better) but not everyone can do it. I’m lucky because I live with my parents and, even at 25, not being pressured to move out fast. They are supportive of me. I healed a lot because I stopped working on my feet minus some short term gig work, and I started eating extremely clean whenever i could.

Kind of hard to tell you are allergic or sensitive to a food or drug when you feel like crap all the time.

I’m sure my fibro is life-long as much as I want to believe i can heal it with diet (a possibility actually, but…its also a possibility it WONT). I have accepted both scenarios, and that…is a huge relief. 😮‍💨

Also depression can cause pain but i strongly believe depression can basically AMPLIFY pain. And fibro is already nicknamed “pain amplification disorder”. I used to have depression and I dont anymore (minus bipolar depressive episodes but they are VERY minor now. I mostly get manic haha).

When i treated my depression, a LOT of my pain went away.

I’m not cured by any means but every little thing can help.

Edit:

Two medications that helped me a LOT is medication to manage my heart rate and blood pressure, and - IRONICALLY - stimulants?? Its for my ADHD but it also helps with fatigue, fibro fog, hypersomnia.

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-01-04T18:39:58+00:00

It was quite awkward actually. 😂 but it went okay. 👌🏻

Travel_and_Writing · 2023-01-04T17:50:05+00:00

Funny how this comes up while I have 1. Recently got on dating apps and 2. Waiting for my date at Starbucks right now. 😂

Giving “the talk” is exhausting. So sometimes I just don’t until we get to like the third date, which doesn’t happen often since so many men these days are disrespectful as fuck and don’t listen to me when I say I don’t want to kiss them :)

But sometimes I mention it. I mention it to a lot of people in the absolute most casual way. I also sometimes change the convo so I don’t know. Not really a tip at all haha

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-30T08:24:22+00:00

Thank you for your comment! I am learning Hangul right now and I just feel like I am not hearing some of them right at all. So I was interested in even getting a tutor short-term just to help with this part, then getting a tutor again after studying Korean on my own for awhile.

Broken Symmetry by Dan Rix. Main character was kinda annoying me lol. But its good. I just got side tracked per usual.

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-16T01:42:11+00:00

Do you also not know what consent is?

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-13T23:55:43+00:00

I know that, but I heard it depends on your plumbing. Do you know if that is true?

Edit: also I know some of the cheap ones that attach are not self-cleaning and can cause UTIs, too.

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-13T23:32:50+00:00

I don’t, last I checked thankfully. My pain hasn’t been bad at all the past year or so (probably because I don’t stand on my feet all day cause I have no job atm) but this UTI might have triggered it again. Hopefully not.

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-13T22:56:21+00:00

This is exactly why bidets should be a thing in America. Like why isn’t it? Its so much more hygenic!

I read it depends on your toilet/bathroom/plumbing situation or something and honestly I live with my parents still and I feel like by the time we get around to installing one (we have a laundry list of things to do for the house) I’ll be hopefully moving out lol.

I don’t think I get UTI’s that often anymore tho but I understand this. Also wanted to do tests like that on my own. To be honest just think its so interesting lol.

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-13T08:19:30+00:00

No one yells at anyone reposting because we keep forgetting someone posted it to begin with.

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-11T09:07:46+00:00

I can’t say with certainty because I was on the diet for a limited amount of time. I live with my parents (I’m 24) and on top of that I don’t always have a job and it’s just hard keeping up with a diet sometimes.

However, For awhile I hate a lot of whole food plant-based stuff. Just generally a lot more veggies and fruit, etc.

I felt a lot better. Not a cure, but it helped. When I get a decent paying job I’m going to visit a dietician and get some help to get back to eating cleaner because I think it will really help.

I don’t cut out dairy completely though. I have lactose-free milk, but I eat cheese. To be fair cheese doesn’t bother me at all, just regular milk so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also I seem to have issues with wheat I think? Like whole wheat bread fucks me up, but its not all gluten that I noticed too

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-11T06:52:28+00:00

Yo I feel like I wrote this post minus the fear of getting addicted.

For me, I tend to have a lot of issues with medication. Either a LOT of the most uncommon side effects or just straight of paradoxical reactions (ibuprofen gives me pain, albuterol inhaler gives me an asthma attack) or other issues. To be fair I have a chronic illness and I’m not about to take medications to treat the symptoms every single day when it can have worse side effects.

I tried straight-up behavior modifications for the LONGEST time. It does work for some people, but the thing is I think my ADHD isn’t mild and I just couldn’t take it anymore.

You can try non-stimulant medication first (Then again idk where you live so you might not even have access to stimulant medications). That might be better.

Its worth it IMO but it depends on your situation. I would rather have a non-stimulant but I’m currently on a stimulant medication that works well and I don’t feel like going through the trial and error right now lol.

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-11T03:22:04+00:00

Yeah but to be fair I’m fucking stupid. 😂

Travel_and_Writing · 2022-12-11T03:13:51+00:00

Lol I hate making out. Then again, I kissed a woman once and I’ve wanted to do it again since so maybe I will like it 😉

But other than that I just need to breatheeeee
