That's because this is Silmarillion

I've found that the best scientific way to get rid of hiccups is to activate your vagus nerve so it relaxes your diaphragm. The way to do that (or just relax your body in general) is with '458'. Gently breathe in for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds, then slowly breathe out for 8 seconds. Keep repeating that cycle and the hiccups should stop fairly quickly.

If you press/ hold your chest over the heart with one hand, and press your lower abdomen/stomach with the other hand at the same time, you can also activate the vagus nerve.

you can also have someone gently squeeze the back of your neck to reset the diaphragm but it's a bit hit and miss if you don't pinpoint the exact spot

@dduane has a sure-fire science-based hiccup cure that's worked every time I've used it. Scaring? Laughing? Drinking upside down? Holding my breath? None of those has worked 100% of the time. But Ms. Duane's hiccup cure? Every fucking time.

my cure is slowly drinking orange juice while spinning in a circle and it works every time

I use the tried and true “I’ll give you a dollar if you hiccup right now” on myself. It’s doesn’t always work because I know I don’t actually have a dollar to give me

if you like a piece of media that is good eventually youll more or less run out of things to say about how good it is but if you like a piece of media that is objectively pretty mediocre but also somehow deeply compelling thats how the demons get you

You laugh but I named my catboy Eli first and then realised I liked it…

advice that has literally saved and improved my life

Reblogging to agree and say that what was happening to me was (and to an extent still is) severe and was the result of manifold health problems and has taken the better part of a year to effectively treat. I did not expect medication to be this effective. But it is. So if you think that you are untreatable, get a second opinion.

Kill the idea that suffering is somehow authentic and worthy, and take the fucking drugs. I lost years of my life to this kind of thinking and I have nothing to show for it other than a handful of embarrassing memories and a house full of clutter I don’t want or need. There’s at least five regularly used different classes of antidepressants! And about four more specifically for anxiety! They’re all acting on your brain in different ways and you will have different reactions to each of them! Don’t give up and accept misery because you’ve mistakenly believed the misery is your real personality!
