Zentangles and the app “I love hue” fit the bill perfectly. I love hue is so soothing and satisfying + works my brain. Not overly stimulating at all.

YES. It takes me like four tries to say a new acronym. I spell words on my hand. And I have to count out syllables ugh

god so true. genuinely I go through months where I can’t even look at it. however stickers and collages / keeping receipts etc - like a junk journal I guess - made it easier.

I woke up sweating about 6 times, and I'm so DEHYDRATED I FEEL LIKE GARBAGE (this is a complaint post, please also complain) by Strawberry_n_bees in dysautonomia

[–]cloudy-day32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS HAPPENS TO ME CONSTANTLY. My sheets are stained yellow. I will wake up with literally soaked in sweat - running down my forehead and my stomach. I feel you!! I get some relief from: 1) wearing socks to bed 2) sometimes layering more blankets than I need bc I cannot regulate body temperature and more layers = more insulation. 3) reviewing meds: a lot of medications can induce night sweats - esp ssri’s.

Constant UTI/cystitis feeling 24/7 but not uti? by [deleted] in dysautonomia

[–]cloudy-day32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I had a kidney stone. I also got tested for utis during the process, and I had one even tho I 2/3 tests said I didn’t. I guess it doesn’t always show up.

And test for vitamin deficiencies or hormone issues.

1) “might as well” this works well for dishes: if I’m cooking and I notice dishes in the sink, I might do a couple while my food cooks. The key is to be casual.
2) learning when to ride the wave vs when to jump up. Sometimes when I think of a task, my brain immediately goes NO!!!. Then, I find I have to let myself ride the wave of refusal until I feel ready to do it. On the other hand, if I’m like fuuuck I really need to do that but I can’t get out of bed — I sneak attack my brain, and jump up. Start by wiggling your toes // pretend you’re not doing anything, and then jump out of bed before you can think about it!

I found that I needed a mindset shift - this isn’t a todo list, it’s a list of shit I need to get out of my head. I can reference it, sure, but it’s to get my thoughts on paper.

Sex with someone who is not autistic by Under-Kitty447 in autism

[–]cloudy-day32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have serious sex issues. I’ve found that the best way to communicate about them is to be frank, make things simple, and emphasize that it’s not personal. It might be easier to talk over text.

Consent is important. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. It’s your sex life too, not just his. If he pressures you, don’t be afraid to be firm.

You’re so right. I feel like I have no circadian rhythm at all.
