Cynni's Blog<p><strong>Brain is everywhere!&nbsp;🤯</strong></p> I guess that getting the news of needing another serious surgery has thrown me off my game more than I realized at first. Sure, I panicked. I freaked out, knowing I need yet another hip sugery, knowing I will have a very restricted life again for at least 6 weeks... I was upset, I felt disappointed, sad, and even angry. And then I thought that it settled down a bit. I felt like I was accepting the situation. It's not like I could change the situation in any way anyway. I mean, the socket is coming loose and it needs to be reattached. So better sooner, rather than later... But then, my ADHD started to explode! Like my thoughts were on fire, as they were before I started taking the meds. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to get through the day before I had them, as even days like these, where the brain feels like it's high on something, while I am on my meds, I struggle so much to get by. I struggle to do my chores, to focus on things that I want to do, or need to do, and I can't even seem to enjoy the hobbies that usually relax me.

DoomsdaysCW<p>Time spent in nature can boost physical and mental well-being</p><p>January 2, 2024</p><p>"Spending time outdoors in green spaces has been linked with myriad physical and mental health benefits, including lower mortality, according to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Heather Eliassen.</p><p>"Eliassen, professor of nutrition and epidemiology, was among the experts quoted in a December 14 Pop Sugar article about the health impacts of nature and being outside. She explained that exposure to green space has been linked to better sleep, lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of chronic disease—likely because people who spend more time in green spaces also report higher levels of exercise.</p><p>"'Green spaces can be destinations for walking or bicycling, as well as space for play, and among children, green-space exposure is linked to more playtime and less screen time,' Eliassen told Pop Sugar.</p><p>"She also said that spending time in nature has been linked to better mental health and a decreased risk of psychiatric disorders among adults and children.</p><p>"'[Time spent outdoors] provides a combination of stimulation of different senses and a break from typical <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/overstimulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>overstimulation</span></a> from urban environments,' she said. 'Exposure to green space results in mental restoration and increased positive emotions and decreased anxiety and rumination. Improved mindfulness can result from exposure to green space as well.'</p><p>"Eliassen noted that even city dwellers and people who work indoors can pursue and reap the health benefits of the natural world. Spending time in urban spaces like parks and gardens has been linked with improved health, according to Eliassen and other experts quoted in the article.</p><p>"'If there are some green spaces a short or medium distance from home, try walking or biking to the green space to get the benefits of exercise while getting [there],' she said. 'Or, find green space you could incorporate into your commute to or from school or work.'"</p><p><a href="https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/time-spent-in-nature-can-boost-physical-and-mental-well-being/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hsph.harvard.edu/news/time-spe</span><span class="invisible">nt-in-nature-can-boost-physical-and-mental-well-being/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureBasedLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureBasedLearning</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenCities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenCities</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenSpaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenSpaces</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>
J.<p>I don't really understand what causes my <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/overstimulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>overstimulation</span></a>. I don't think I've been paying enough attention to it for long enough to say what makes it more or less likely to occur. There are days where the same noise might not bother me at all or so minimally that it doesn't affect me in any noticeable way.</p><p>Am I picking up on more sound than usual or is there actually a lot more noise? It doesn't feel so much like there’s actually more things out there making noise as it feels like the volume of existence was increased and sped up.</p><p>This is the kind of day where trying to focus my mind is so grating that I'm going to go into a complete meltdown if I don't back off. Everything I do feels prickly. Everyone is irritating me. It's the kind of day where I'd like to bash my own head against the wall because the noise and the pain and the sense that I'm trapped in my body won't let up.</p><p>I’ve got my headphones back on, took something for my headache, and I'm going to smoke weed and try my best to reset.<br>At least I seem to have learned to know when to fold.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/actuallyautistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></p>
