Hello, I've just now found this tumblr and have become completely fixated on all the information i'm getting. I've struggled and found ways to cope with some of my problems but silly me has honestly never thought to look for groups or support (other than medication) and basically have felt like ive been on my own with this my whole life... So i'm extremely thankful i came across a previous post of yours and followed you. this little rant has taken up all my characters so i'l just ask another que
question, so this thing has happened to me on and off my whole life and again last night. I’m laying down trying to go to sleep. my arm is around my gf, shes sleeping on my shoulder, i’m trying soooo hard not to move to wake her and it gets to the point where its nearly painful to stay still, it honestly feels like i’m being electrocuted if i’m still too long, i eventually had to wake her so i could walk around. what is going on with me? :[[ send help
Restless mind can be why its hard for adhders to sleep, so to get rid of the energy we move and fidget around. I think thats your problem!
I made a post about using music or podcasts to sleep
The concept behind it is that when your trying to sleep theres like 5 people in your head, and they’re all talking to each other, thats whats keeping you awake and restless.
The reason why listening to music or podcasts helps, is because one is person trying to listen to the audio and tells the other people to “shut up guys I’m trying to listen” so they be quiet.
Then eventually they get bored, and leave the room till theres only one person left, and the last person falls asleep cause they’re on their own with no one to talk to!
It’s just a metaphor but i find it helps explain it!
You’d be using headphones but it would bother your girlfriend less, than you having to get up and wake her up each night
OH! I asked my mum, cause I’m asking her for help on these asks leave me alone, and she says, “Exercise!”
She didn’t elaborate.,,..,,.,,.
