That i don't go for enough walks being terminally online.
This is the 80th comment and no one has said "drugs" (unless you count alcohol). Maybe drug addicts have better things to do with their time than browse lemmy!
I think we should count alcohol, tobacco and vapes as drugs. They're controlled substances, after all.
maybe drug addicts just have More ubhealthy habits
I drink a lot of soda
dermatillomania
Smoking meth and imbibing.
Overindulgence with a splash of occasional misanthropy
Sweets
Fucking up my sleep schedule.
Also kinda abusing sleep medication when I get really depressed, I just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I can essentially skip time. Like a free trial of death.
This minus the pills. I have a smart watch that clearly shows that I don't recover well if I go to bed late, but I always go to bed an hour later than I should ideally go, and always end up sleep deprived. I desperately need to cut this shit out.
Comfort Eating.
I don't drink. I don't smoke. I tried weed and found it uninteresting and never did anything harder. I exercise regularly.
But I'll still never be the platonic ideal of a "healthy person", because whenever I'm sad, I need processed sugar to feel like a person again. And brother, does life give me reasons to be sad.
I go without changing bedsheets for a bit longer than i should
is it that you couldn't remember to? or you knew but didn't bother anyway?
Nah I'm just lazy. I'm sitting on two months for my current one
do they really need changing that often though
i don't go to bed covered in mud so all my sheets get is a bit of occasional sweat at night, i don't get why we should change them so often. they don't even smell!
My desk job
Browsing the Internet on my phone instead of sleeping. It is indeed what I am currently doing.
I eat too much.
It would be too little sleep, but that is society's fault for putting early risers on a pedestal and not being accommodating of night owls.
Doom scrolling
6 pack of beer almost every night for the past 3 months. Doctor refuses to help me unless I go to rehab, but it's not feasible to spend that much time away from home.
Consider the medication, naltrexone.
Doc won't put me on it until I'm weeks sober
Naltrexone (either the oral version or the monthly injection) can be started while someone is still drinking. Might be worth asking again or talking to an addiction medicine specialist.
Husband was drinking 3-4 a night and I was freaking out about it, he got it down to 1-2 by not buying it in packs except on weekend. Like he will stop at the corner store and get one beer for after work.
If you buy only one on your way home, instead of a six pack, do you think you would go out and get more, or might it work for you as it did for him?
Vaping, doomscrolling, not eating healthy, binge drinking sometimes. The usual
Vaping or drinking.
Eating at 01:00.
I clench my jaw day and night, like constantly. Not intentionally, and I wear a mouthguard to protect my teeth at night, but I'm not really in control of the clenching and it causes downstream effects. Some mornings I can't open my jaw all the way. I had the feeling of water trapped in my ear (I thought it was from using the pool at the gym), but the ENT told me it was from TMJ. At least a couple times a week I end up with a headache that starts in my jaw and teeth, radiates up my sinuses, and on really bad days, results in light sensitivity and blurred vision.
Caffeine increased my muscle tension. Muscle relaxants counteracted it. Now off both, taking lots of magnesium.
Sorry if this is too personal, but I've heard magnesium can cause diarrhea. Does that happen to you? Also, what kind of magnesium do you take, and is your bruxism related to anxiety?
I've heard magnesium oxide is the most diarrheic and least effective otherwise, so I avoid that. I take magnesium citrate, carbonate, hydroxide, acetate, malate, bisglycinate, taurate, gluconate, or whatever combination of them happens to be cheap. Never tried threonate because it's so expensive.
There was even more anxiety with caffeine, so yeah, related.
Not sleeping like... Right now
Comfort eating. Before I got adhd meds I had zero impulse control, so I'd eat nothing or eat everything. I would be 75% through a giant bag of snacks, and I'd be actively not enjoying them and wanting to stop, but I just couldn't. I'd stop and put them away and ten seconds later I'd be back eating, even though I was feeling sick and gross.
On meds, that's stopped and I've realised that my craving for snacks is all about comfort, stimulus, and self regulation, and nothing to do with hunger. But even knowing that, I struggle to bother with other harder but healthier ways of stimulating and relaxing, when I could just eat crackers with thick slabs of salty butter, or alternate between dark chocolate and salty peanuts. It's not the worst, but I'm very conscious of that it's not really about the food and so it feels like a lot of empty calories just to chill me out a little.
