What are you doing just RIGHT now.

Petting my dogs and cats on the fur this morning and finalizing my adoption of a Turkey named Alexandra. I read this newsletter from an animal sanctuary about how I could symbolically adopt one of their rescue birds, this one had suffered a lot, so I decided hers was the case I'd take up.
 
Nearly crying because the crust of a frozen pizza I cooked last night killed my mouth. :c

Been there just recently. Sober for 5 years, had a drink due to immense stress, and drowned right back in the waves of addiction. If that sounds like you, it's not worth it at all. Please keep your head on, and be good to yourself. 🖤

For me, just relaxing and wearing my son now that my morning chores are over. Probably gonna have another coffee soon since I'm exhausted.

Stay strong babe. I know that feeling all too well and it'll do nothing but give you grief. Always here for you. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

I'm about to leave and visit my dad who I haven't seen in a while! :)
 
Just got home from the visit with my dad and it was very nice. :)

Had an awful night. My mind kept playing random scenes/music from BDSP in my head (orz) because I guess I played too much so I couldn't relax enough to sleep lol, when I finally started falling asleep I jolted back awake because I thought I was dying/having a heart attack or something. That made me scared and I kept having anxiety-induced heart area pains, so I took a stress relief pill and checked my phone for a bit until it subsided and I could fall back asleep. Haven't had a panic attack to that level in probably years. I guess I should try to ease myself into bed after dinner, rather than play too much until bedtime. Gah.

I have never known anybody else to have this issue but the same thing happens to me. Whenever I can't sleep my brain starts looping music or whatever recent video game I've been playing. It seems to happen more frequently with specific genres and bands.

It's an oddity. You would think music playing in your head would be relaxing, but it feels like being tormented. Nothing in those moments is craved more than to be able to shut it off and sleep.

Just realized I actually posted this in the wrong thread, oops, but it still fits into what I'm doing now: still trying to calm down. Better now than it was last night for sure, but not perfect. D: And I've heard of others having this issue so you're absolutely not alone. It's so awful, and we want nothing more than to have peace and quiet. :( I'm about to have a small lunch and will take a relaxation pill together with some tea after. Hopefully that helps the day go by better.

I'm not an expert at giving advice, but moving around seems like the best thing. When going through this, I frequently get up for a snack or find an easy going video that I can watch on my phone. It might take a couple hours but the restlessness usually fades. When having a panic attack it always helps me to escape from the room. Sometimes it means falling asleep in a weird area of the home, but removal from the situation is what I find helpful.
 
Screaming while writing my Genshin fanfiction.

I was supposed to be writing a short "filler" section today, but here I am, at 1,500 words of pain and suffering. I hate it here.
 
Enjoying my alone time before bed. It's been 4 hours and I still don't want to stop cuz I so rarely get my alone time anymore :,(
