Ok #NEISvoid friends I think I need accessible “relaxation” techniques that aren’t any form of meditation/mindfulness. I keep getting stressed by various crap going on & holding it in my muscles & wrecking my posture & causing more pain in my hyper mobile joints.
Other things that don’t work for me: breathing exercises, many sensory things: no smells/food oriented stuff due to allergies. No audio stuff involving words bc HoH.
& def no form of CBT oriented things trying to convince me things aren’t that bad. Things are unfortunately frequently that bad rn. I just need to not have my joints wrecked trying to emotionally cope w them is the issue.
I’ve always liked the “activate mammalian dive reflex” thing w ice pack on face but I’ll need to check w my cardiologist if that’s actually safe to do these days w other stuff going on. But that flavour of thing works well for me.
