Ask Lemmy

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.

Lots of sitting. Both on my job and in my free time.

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

I think people will change their mind when presented with facts

My desk job

Chronic Stress

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.

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.

Doom scrolling

Vaping, doomscrolling, not eating healthy, binge drinking sometimes. The usual

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.

Vaping or drinking.

Eating at 01:00.

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!

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.

Addicted to casual sex, mostly anonymous. It's a huge health risk but I can't stop

I smoke.

My homecooked meals aren't healthy enough! My eating habits are too salty with too little vegetables.

Yeah, I'm somewhat of a health nut otherwise.

Y'all know about Tostito's Queso in the jars? I go through a tall jar per week. I'm sure the strong, hazy IPAs are also not on the healthy food pyramid.

Politics

Sitting too much and sugar

That i don't go for enough walks being terminally online.

Scrolling on Reddit. Eating too much.

Bad sleeping habits and eating high sodium food, besides that I don't drink, smoke, consume sugar, or do drugs, so I'm good.

stay at my desk for too long

Browsing lemmy

Still smoking while drinking but now only drink 2 days a week and then completely dry the other 5 days

I drink a lot of soda

I've gotten into the habit of eating and drinking things fast because of limited time on break and now my digestive system is in terrible shape

Smoking, doomscrolling, and overeating

Sitting at my desk at work is probably the biggest health risk I face.

I eat well, exercise, drink moderately (not every day, never more than two, almost always one drink only), don't smoke, have sex every day, manage my blood pressure, really try to be good to my body and do things to reduce anxiety but the enforced idleness of desk job is for sure unhealthy.

Ending conversations quickly

Was smoking but thankfully I quit that before kids. Currently it is sleep. Both kids are night owls and I just want an hour of computer time at night 😜.
