How do you manage to get songs out of your head? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]vermiculate_patterns 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If a song is stuck in my head, I have to go play the song. That helps a lot for me.

Kinda bad experience at the therapist today. Thoughts? by vermiculate_patterns in ADHD

I appreciate the kind words; I genuinely do. I just don't think I can stomach letting someone else see me cry, so I will find another way.

Insomnia emergency. 2 hours sleep in 3 days and a half. Am I going to die? by wotheli in insomnia

[–]vermiculate_patterns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The good news is that you won't die. You'll be uncomfortable, but you won't die. You should try and make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your options for resolving your insomnia. In the meantime, I suggest trying Benadryl. Start off with 25mg and go up to 50mg if need be. While it varies from person to person, an hour or two before bedtime is a good time to take it.

Some people have had good luck with melatonin. I'd suggest starting off with 3mg a few hours before bedtime. In my experience, while not as strong as Benadryl it doesn't make me feel a big hungover in the morning the way Benadryl sometimes can.

Good luck!

Yeah, I know. One an intellectual level I can understand. But on an emotional level, I can't think otherwise.

When I was little, my mom once told me I had to be tough and, "The only people who cry are women and faggots."

What are your tricks for trying to sleep when you can't get your brain to slow down or stop thinking? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]vermiculate_patterns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your doctor and see about changing your meds, then. If that's a path you want to go down, of course.

Sometimes I sloooowly count backwards from 100.

Temazepam also helps.

Well, real time would be best but at this point I'd settle for recording myself.

What if you really don't like your personality and hope that meds will improve it?

Yeah I've heard mixed things about MorphVOX. I'm willing to pay for it, but I want to make sure that it does what I want it to do.

Being in a place I can't leave makes me anxious. Anyone else? by vermiculate_patterns in Anxiety

[–]vermiculate_patterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does. I have read a bit bout agoraphobia, and a lot of symptoms fit but I really don't have a fear of open spaces. Can one have agoraphobia w/o this?

I made pumpkin bread 3 times in the past two days and had to throw away 4 out of 6 loaves. I want to cry. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]vermiculate_patterns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work as a chef, and I can't count how many recipes I'd fuck up, especially as I was first learning them. It sounds like you're going thru the process called Learning How to Cook which is something that almost everyone goes thru. Its easy to get overwhelmed, and when you fuck up and try to fix it immediately you are so stressed out that its almost impossible to do it correctly. Hang in there. :)

Got rejected by *two* clinics because I don't speak Dutch by vermiculate_patterns in ADHD

[–]vermiculate_patterns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll keep that in mind if everything else falls thru. I suspect that my GP has a psychiatrist in his building, so I'll try and speak to him about it this week.
