I appreciate the tag @BlackOpium as you are my favourite in the forum postings but I am a total loser in stuff like this and always will be

Naaaah, no saying loser, winners don't say that Since I am your fave poster now you have to come up with something, anything

Some call ASMR ear or head tingles, just a sound that gives fun and pleasing feeling to your hearing. A soft whisper. Some find the sound of typing gently on a keyboard the same. Almost hypnotic like to many people.

Wow, that sounds amazing, I'll definitely get looking into that, thank you.

Very welcome. I know that gum chewing is another but not the loud popping and snapping sound, just a gentle chewing sound. Most of ASMR is similar in being and sounding quiet, low and just something that seems relaxing to the person. Paper rustling is another one.

There's also ASMR cooking/recipe videos, which I find relaxing, but more for the cooking imagery than the sounds.

Honestly, within 60 seconds of waking, literally I am taking anti anxiety medicine, are you on any? It definitely sets me up for the day (90 percent of the time) but I do get anxiety spikes all day long, its a constant struggle and battle. I'm glad you find that walking helps. I exercise near-daily too, it does help and I feel a sense of accomplishment after doing it. What is ASMR?

No I'm not on any meds, I've never actually been to a doctor about anxiety. I had it a lot 7 years ago to the point it made me suicidal but I managed to calm down as the years went on. Had 3 years with barely any which was great but it came back a couple years ago after multiple deaths close to me, illness, toxic people, etc. Was awful for months last year then settled down. Was fine most of this year until this past month with my friend snapping triggering it off again and I've been stuck with it everyday since 😫 yeah I know what that's like, feels calm for a while then pops back up ugh.

ASMR = autonomous sensory meridian response. It's that nice calming tingly feeling you get like when someone plays with your hair. People upload videos of them making various sounds by a mic like tapping, water spraying, scissors, etc and it's very calming and can give you that tingly feeling. It can make you drowsy too so good for sleeping. I find it kinda hypnotises me, I forget everything and just focus on the sounds

That sounds amazing, definitely will look into it tomorrow when i'm not half asleep lol Thanks for the explanation, you learn something new everyday

If the anxiety makes you suicidal again, please promise me you will see a doctor or therapist? You're awesome, we don't want to lose you. Sorry to hear about your losses, dealing with grief is difficult. I am the anxiety queen My life literally translates to anxiety or no anxiety, so you have my full support plus feel free to talk to me anytime, I'm here every day

I do agree though, many of the sounds people put on YouTube can be quite relaxing if you find the right trigger for yourself.

haha.. there's a woman I watch who makes ASMR videos that are mostly her talking to the camera with the sounds and whenever she does hairdressing roleplays she always mentions or if you don't have hair that's ok too... I'll just scratch your scalp instead lol.

Yeah, it's great. I'm so glad I discovered ASMR. I heard people mention it a few years ago and wondered what it was, didn't bother to google it just went straight to youtube and watched and found it bizarre and confusing at first. I thought *this is weird...wait a minute I'm getting that tingly feeling....is it meant to do that or what...* then I googled it and found out that was the purpose of it. Looked into it more and found lots of channels I love watching that have been very helpful in calming me down or getting me to fall asleep in peace

You're welcome lots of great channels to check out. I recommend ASMRSurge, ASMRMagic, ASMRSleepyHead, ASMR Bakery, and StacyAster for just the sounds but if you'd like to check out people who whisper and do the sounds then I recommend Karuna Satori ASMR, Gentle Whispering ASMR, Gibi ASMR and Marno ASMR.

Yes I will. I was considering going to the dr when it was that bad (suicidal) back all those years ago but couldn't get the guts to pick up the phone and make the appointment. Yeah all the grief has been very hard.

Thank you, that's very kind and very appreciated

If my brush my teeth every day that will be a success until Wednesday. And make my bed.

 

[Thauoy]

I have just started doing meditation and yoga. It calms my mind and a feeling of satisfaction and also connection with the Divine.

 

[foreverforgotten]

I showered. Will brush teeth again. ):

 

[Innocent Forever]

Brushed my teeth again. And had a bath.
And wasn't on my phone until 4 in the afternoon except once to answer.

[Innocent Forever]

Brushed teeth, washed face, and went running - couch to 5k so not really running. And put on food. Which either I'll eat or not.

 

[Bergerac]

Gradually, finding a way to cope better, mentally, and spring back from that terrible feeling quicker.

 

[Innocent Forever]

Did couch to 5k today

Got an A on the last class I was waiting on the grade for. 2 A's and an A-. Last semester I got 2 A's and a B, so I did a bit better this time.
