Whew, parent/teacher conferences, absorbing two extra classes, working the basketball game, consulting with another teacher about student behaviors, getting observed while teaching my class and the extra class...my brain is done! Now how do I shut my brain off for the night 🌙?

Here’s a little trick I read about that drops me off to sleep in less than a minute every night:

1. Relax totally
2. Starting with A, try to think of either things or any words that begin with the letter A. Don’t describe them or anything else, just list them: aardvark, also, apart, apple, etc.
3. If you run out of A’s, go to B and so on.
4. You can make up lists like names or animals, or no proper nouns, etc.
5. If you wake up in the middle of the night, just do it again.

I use this every night and after months of insomnia, I now conk out in less than a minute. It took me a couple days, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy. I’ll often start anywhere in the alphabet just for fun. (I’ve never started with Q, though!) I’ve used it for almost a year, and it still works every time.

Hey everyone. I am not an ADHD consultant, but mom to a 6 year old who is very likely ADHD (we will be starting the diagnosis process soon). I wanted to hear from anyone who was also diagnosed as a young kid on any advice you have for me? Knowing what you do now, would you recommend meds for a 6 year old (if it comes to that)? What other solutions/therapies can I use with my kid? Please, any advice is welcome!

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

Below are my thoughts rn: Man, I’m 28 and such a bum. I work a job I hate, I have no social circle. I have never had a gf. All these things are so challenging because I’m autistic. I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.
