Feeling that much more awake today. I was so tired yesterday after a really good 30 seconds. No joke, that‘s how it goes sometimes. Feel good when I wake up and then droop.

Haven’t needed to lie down or sleep much today, usually needing until 5pm to feel awake. I listened to some sleep music last night since sleeping a little during the day left me restless at night, and it helps sleep deeper, if not longer (still not much clearing four hours). It’s dehydrating, though.

The Pulsetto vagus nerve device is still doing a good job and I felt more alert after using it yesterday. It does something I wasn’t expecting, though - in relaxing my brain, I feel sort of lower, less up in my head, less able to get into my imagination and I don’t like the feeling. I hadn’t realised that’s a not-relaxed thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

I tried my favourite ADHD focus music and it worked pretty well at sharpening me up again.

Been doing a little colouring and loving Joseph Catimbang’s whimsical fantastical style. Started to get some ideas of my own which is refreshing. For a long time I’d been unable to really picture a full illustration in my mind, it was very frustrating. The lack of energy is enough of that.

It’s been a while since my oomph to do my own art mostly went, a combination of some otherwise good therapy and the hideous stress of the DWP in 2022. I still don’t think my nervous system has defrosted from years of freeze and there’s only so much more I can do for it.
