Used both the Pulsetto (vagus nerve stimulation) and Thumper (massager) and feel quite relaxed.

Bought a Pulsetto vagus nerve device the other day since it sounded like it works more deeply than the Sensate I bought in 2021, and it does. I’d also seen quite a few ads for it by an ADHD creator I watch called MyFavouriteJo (any Jos reading, please don’t take that literally).

She’d also used the Sensate and found this one works deeper. It’s currently on a nearly half-price sale or I wouldn’t have bothered. I wasn’t going to since I already have the Sensate, but I was curious enough in the end.

I put it on the sleep mode when I got it yesterday and instantly felt relaxed and a bit giddy like I could laugh. Afterwards I felt lighter, sleepy and at the same time more alert.

I’d love it if it helps lower cortisol and improves sleep. It’s been a few years since I slept for more than four hours. It’s partly because I’m too tired to do much and when I have occasionally gone out and done more in the day, it has gone to six hours.

Your body already knows how to calm itself. You just need to turn it on.
Have you noticed how touching your neck can calm you down instantly? That’s your vagus nerve. a direct line between your brain and body that controls your relaxation response.
Try this: Gently massage the sides of your neck in slow strokes for 2 minutes. Or just hum. The vibration activates it immediately.

The article describes how aging-related changes in the gut microbiome can influence brain signaling through the vagus nerve, leading to memory decline, and how altering gut bacteria or stimulating gut-brain pathways can restore memory in aging mice. It also identifies a specific bacterium, Parabacteroides goldsteinii, whose byproducts trigger local gut inflammation that impairs memory, and discusses potential translating approaches and remaining questions for humans.

The topic highlights how peripheral body processes interact with brain function, offering insights into mechanisms of cognitive aging. It also illustrates how interventions targeting the gut or gut-brain communication could modulate memory, underscoring the interconnectedness of physiological systems in psychology.

Last retoot… it’s not meant like that, but still advice reads too easily like condescending dismissal of everything I’ve done (indeed “tried”).

Seven years of chronic fatigue at home almost alone, under stimulation is right. It’s why the daily writing hashtag prompts and fandom love are what move me - dopamine, not wellness tips.

Burnout of the nervous system too, which is slowly showing glimmers of interest in things I used to love and is otherwise perhaps more defrosted than I thought (see “dorsal shutdown” and “functional freeze”, and miss me even more with pushy advice. I’ve done tons for it and still very little audio stuff has worked. Somatic exercise too).

If it doesn’t come from me, why would it move me to act.

I might be less annoyed if all this and autistic masking didn’t get in the way of friendship, romance, hobbies, work, people even realising I have a brain.
