Managing energy and PEMs - feel slow and lethargic in the mornings but improves when I get active

Does anybody else have these same kind of symptoms? When I wake up I feel okay but lethargic and heavy.

It persists if I don’t do much, say a rest day on the couch doing minor tasks at home I’ll stay in the same space. My mental health is also quiet at this time.

But things improves greatly if I get up and go out, walk more and do a little more activity like go to the supermarket.

Im super cautious about over doing it and managing my spoons after a couple of bad relapses so I don’t know what to trust.

I don’t know if I should just listen to my body and rest, or if this energy is okay. It doesn’t catch up with me as PEMs as far as I can tell.

You can’t park here, right?

There is no signage on the street RE parking. There are clearly marked spots and then these spots where there used to be garages or something with drive ways. Now it’s just shop fronts.

Was surprised when I was parked where the left white SUV is and someone pulled in in front of me.

They were driving an Audi so I assume they don’t follow the road rules.

Macauley road Kensington for those interested.

Share your “the signs were always there…” moments

Just a silly post. I’m 42 and diagnosed AuDHD this year. My sensory sensitivities have become a real pain thanks to self awareness, burnout, and medication.

I’ve been saying “I wasn’t bothered by sensory stuff before” a lot until I was buying makeup and remembered the first and only time I went into Sephora.

Ever since that day I described it as a “screaming fluorescent hell” and literally never went back.

Sooo I guess I had sensory sensitivities all along 😂

Can anybody recommend a mobile / at home hair dresser in Melbourne? Chronically ill and ND and I cannot afford the energy to go to the salon anymore 🙃

How do I positively encourage a junior to try actually solving challenges themselves by doing literally any-f*cking-thing before asking me for the solution

Oh my god I am losing my mind with a jnr on my team.

They’ve been here for two years and do pretty good work but whenever a challenge crops up they’re asking me for the solution before they try and do ANYTHING about it.

They just show zero initiative to investigate and find a solution, like idk calling finance instead of asking me if a supplier is on the books. God even searching the supplier database before asking me. That’s all I’m going to do.

I’ve tried ignoring their messages for a few hours but in the interim they do nothing. I’ve tried asking “what have you already tried” and then “what’s 5 things you can think of right now to resolve this” and they eventually come up with them but next time they come straight to me.

It’s becoming exhausting.

LDN - has anybody had a bad reaction and been able to get through it and see to get positive results??

So this is the second time I’ve tried LDN.

The first time I took it for 5 weeks .25ml of 5mg liquid. It made my symptoms significantly worse - increased fatigue, brain fog, and horrible nausea worse than ever to the point of dry retching in the morning.

I stopped and symptoms improved.

My doctor really wanted me to try it again because of how successful it is for other patients. Prescribed .25ml of 1mg liquid.

I’m two weeks in and my condition is deteriorating again - worse everything and so nauseous I can barely walk around.

I don’t want to give up again but it feels like it’s not working for me.

Has anybody pushed through this and seen improvement?

Less cursed replacement liquid lip for Deceased by JS (ick)

Wow I’ve had this liquid lip forever and it’s finally given up.

Looking for a dupe or replacement cool neutral from a less cursed brand. Went to Mecca but they didn’t have anything cool toned.

Ideally as long wearing without drying, but tone is more important.

Okay help me out here. I hate the idea of a sneaker-loafer crossover but I actually love these?? I’m very conflicted. Are these actually a vibe?

Black buckle loafers are very much on brand for me

Northern Rivers camping in July - whats the weather like, what clothing and gear will we need?

Hiya! A friend and I are hiring a van and going on a couple of weeks camping trip from Gold Coast down to around Coffs Harbour and back.

I’m coming from Melbourne winter and want to know what to pack for the weather.

I’ve comfortably done lots of winter camping in VIC and TAS but never gone north 😂

How cold is is gonna get overnight on the coast? Are we talking thermals at night? Do I need all the layers, thick socks, and puffers?

The Axel meta makes it surprisingly easy to hide in plain sight

A few times now when I’ve had to dip to res I’ve gotten out of sight, stopped and just hid on top of some boxes or behind a bush and the axel team chasing me just yeets past at Mach 1. Have been able to walk back to my teams boxes and res them even faster.

I just broke my brain reading Vita Nostra… need help with what to read next… which is the least existential of Ninefox Gambit, The Works of Vermin, and The Scapegracers?

Okay so I really can’t do another existential weird one back to back with Vita Nostra.

I bought Ninefox Gambit, The Works of Vermin, and The Scapegracers.

Which of those three is a bit of a fun ride?
