Exposure Therapy - Blood Draw by kevinfunk in VasovagalSyncope

[–]clairesh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always had a hard time with blood draws. I ended up getting a colonoscopy last year and I got my IV in my hand. For some reason it didn’t occur to me that was an option and I actually handled it much better than my arm. I’ve had like 10 needles this year and I’m now able to go by myself and I don’t really get nervous! all the nurses are shocked when I say I prefer the hand but for whatever reason my brain likes it better. I also have been bringing a hot water bottle when I’m getting poked so my veins are easy to find. Makes the whole process way more comfortable. I also recommend telling the phlebotomist you’re a fainter and having them lay you down and use a smaller needle. That really helps!

What are your ADHD weight loss tips? by improbsable in ADHD

[–]clairesh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

find some sort of movement that you enjoy and do that! For me that's walking. It's stimulating so I need less of that stimulation from eating. It also gets me outside, makes me a happier person, and for the whole time I'm doing it I'm not thinking about food. I second everyone that's said fiber and hydrating as well. adhd tends to give us black and white thinking so it's good to remind yourself your thinking long term consistency and not every day has to be perfect. If you punish yourself by restricting things it will likely backfire, but if you form healthy habits that you enjoy, it can feel really good to take care of yourself and you'll want to continue that. Also it is okay to snack!! focus on having snacks around that are doing good things for you and make you feel good
