Do I feel seen? Or just caught? Going to have to think about that for most of the evening…
If you feel demotivated to cook, clean, or otherwise leave the house. Try putting on “outside clothes” (i.e. not PJs). More often then not it will give you that little push you need to start doing the important thing
Where am I supposed to get the motivation to change my clothes?
Spill something on yourself
Instructions unclear, I’m lying in my bed all wet.
Set up an automated system to video call your boss every day at 10 AM. That’ll get your anxiety up!
Hopefully you would understand how to trick yourself into doing small things like that but if not then I would recommend speaking with a professional
I can hire someone to change my clothes for me?
I mean
I tell myself that taking the first step (of whatever task I’m avoiding) doesn’t mean I have to complete whatever task I’m avoiding. Somehow reminding myself that, for example, taking my socks off doesn’t mean I HAVE to take a shower, gets me over the initial hurdle of resistance. If necessary, I will lie to myself about each step of a task, with full knowledge I’m only saying it to trick myself into doing something. At some point, I decide that I might as well finish (usually).
damnit my clothes are all suitable for either environment
A funny thing I discovered, if I relax my muscles too much when falling asleep, my body’s autonomous breathing stops. It’s weird, I just literally stop breathing until something else in me starts to panic then I’m gasping for air.
See a doctor urgently, this is not normal.💀
Sounds like that could be some kind of sleep apnea, did you have that checked?
It specifically sounds like a non-obstructive sleep apnea - those are usually treated pharmaceutically rather than with a cpap which is a lot easier to manage when traveling!
This issue only occurs when i go into a deep meditation specific to relaxing my muscles before sleep. I had to learn this as a kid because my mind would race for hours trying to fall asleep. With a few different techniques, I can fall asleep within 15 minutes. 5 if I’m already tired. But it wasn’t until recently that i discovered i could push the technique far enough to relax my autonomous breathing. But probably very much related to sleep apnea, just not quite the same in my case.
Well that’s the reason I called out non-obstructive sleep apnea. I’ve got regular ol’ obstructive sleep apnea - my brain never stops trying to breathe it just gets physically impede sometimes. If you have non-obstructive sleep apnea you should talk to someone since you may have a larger autonomic nervous disorder which may also at some point do something even worse like forgetting to ask your heart to beat.
That’s probably sleep apnea, not good, I’d go to a doctor about it
I have never thought about it that way before, but that explains so muchaboutt the way I think…
i feel seen
Im trying but its hard
I think I need a few sober days before boredom sets in
