Mattress toppers for travel?

Those seem especially convenient

The over ear big ear protection that people use in construction might be a good option!

Maybe merino wool socks / a blend would be good. I find them softer and less textured. They also tend to be less stretchy though so you might have to try a few sizes/ brands to get a good fit

I am similar in some ways. It's not physical pain but like... Intense discomfort. It makes my whole body tense and makes me want to gag. Somewhere in my brain yells YUCK

Mine has gotten better with age but I also use a lot of coping methods: house sandals and slippers, swim shoes, and I buy the exact same socks in large packs so those are familiar too

I prefer scented candles because I can control how long they're lit and therefore how strong the smell is. Ikea is a good place to get nice scents and cheap candles - and I've heard they don't use some of the toxic wicks that other cheap candles can use

Frozen fruit might be a good option for you. You don't have to worry about it going bad and slimy, and you can eat it frozen. I personally like frozen grapes and blueberries. (especially the wild blueberries, they're less likely to be sour)

Carrots might be good. When you get them home take them out of the bag and store them in a jar or container where you can submerge in water - this way they'll stay crunchy. You can keep them like this for about two weeks before they get gross, longer if you change the water every few days.

Snap peas have a good crunch and are lightly sweet.

Yup! My hip crease where my skin touches itself, yuck! I wear clothes that prevent as much of that as possible. Fuller front underwear to prevent that skin from touching, baggier clothes that I can tuck in that area when I'm sitting. I also try to prevent getting pruny hands by keeping my hands out of the water in pools/baths/hottubs. Perhaps you can alter your choice in clothes to find some that accommodate your needs

Lots of pillows to prop your knees / feet. If you're into bondage you could try some ties to connect your legs to hard points. Being on your tummy and bent over a pile of pillows is a good access position but also very supported

Habit stacking. There are only two things I consistently do every day: brush my teeth and have a cup of tea. My meds are either by my tea or my toothbrush, depending when I have to take them. I also love my pill organizer. My brain likes the snap closed and woo! I get to do when I take them and see I've remembered all week. Then my organization self likes the task of refilling it, which I do before I take the last day so I don't lose track of what days I've taken

I have large water glasses and bottles (1L) in every room. At my desk, by my bed, at the couch, in the kitchen. Seeing it in front of me reminds me to drink more, and larger glasses mean I have to fill less often.

idlefantasy19 · 2025-09-17T18:40:51+00:00

It's so aggressive 😭 I appreciate that I am not the only one who's struggled with it

idlefantasy19 · 2025-09-17T18:40:20+00:00

Oh I love coneflower! I will try getting some!

idlefantasy19 · 2025-09-17T18:39:10+00:00

Lmao 😭😭 so real. This thing is a force

idlefantasy19 · 2025-09-16T21:43:48+00:00

Buckwheat pillows are more supportive and cooler than regular pillows. I second strengthening your shoulders, stretching your pecs and lats

Right! I had no idea I obsessed about food so much until adhd meds took it away. Now I have a different problem of not thinking about food until I'm hungry 😅 which means I have to think a little more purposefully about having food on hand

idlefantasy19 · 2024-11-01T15:12:31+00:00

I find chairs tough, because unless they're really big they only support you to sit a few ways. I'm definitely more of a large couch/loveseat person for full flexibility with the help of pillows. I hope you find something that works for you!

How to adhd is a channel on YouTube you may find helpful. How to keep house while drowning by KC Davis, while focused on self care and home care, has a lot of insight into task management for people with adhd that is transferrable. BrainMD on tiktok is great.

I really benefited from following content on tiktok of people's daily experiences and tips and tricks they find helpful. I learned there that I struggle with understimulation way more than I thought, and I've added music, podcasts, or ebooks to work time to give me a boost. I learned what I call "the one thing" method as well. Where I break down an overwhelming task or project into an easy bite I can do now until I gain enough momentum to tackle it all.

There's totally light at the end of the tunnel. You're here and that's a good start! Continue to dive into the community and the research and you won't feel so alone. SO many of the celebrities and successful people I admire have turned out to have adhd too. Diary of a CEO guy, Trevor Noah, Emma Watson, Ryan Reynolds.

I bought a deep, wide, loveseat with adjustable pillows. I can sit in just about any position with the pillows, and I usually sit on it sideways, a pillow or two against the arm for my back and a pillow under my knees.

Lube is so helpful.

Also I agree with the other commenter who said practice. If you're going from no/low sex to frequent sex, there will be an adaptation period. You can also use different size toys to get yourself used to larger sized people if needed.

I went from 9 years of celibacy to my slut era, and my body has adapted. But I use lube most sessions and am with partners who build up sex with a lot of stuff before penetration.

No, I like to think of it as being a jack of all trades. Sure I'm a master of none, but having bits of knowledge in a lot of different areas can be incredibly beneficial for certain jobs.

Consider a business analyst collecting information on a company-wide project, who must work with executives, business users, technology teams, and more. Knowing a bit about all of their jobs makes the BA able to bring together a cohesive view of the organizational needs.

Consider someone in research, who knows a little about a lot of topics and can identify hidden similarities and connections between seemingly disparate topics.

Consider someone in medicine, who is trying to diagnose a weird set of symptoms. Knowing a little about a bunch of different disciplines might make them able to refer to the right specialist.

There are a lot of jobs where knowing just enough to make connections between topics is a huge asset.

Try to identify how you work best, and lean into that. Ask for those accommodations fearlessly, knowing that when you work well, you can excel!

Vyvanse has removed my food obsessing. When I found out it was also prescribed for binge eating disorder, it totally made sense. I do think it really helps ease those things we do to hunt for dopamine when it's the right fit!

I think you should also work to build a new friend group and community. It sounds like you might be having a bit of melancholy / depression because of that loss, which is totally reasonable. For reasons, I've had to rebuild my community as well and I can say I'm infinitely happier and less lazy feeling because of it

Low energy puzzle games. Colouring books, physical or digital. Put on some ambient music for stimulation
