#cpap posting

I highly recommend (if you can afford it and/or have the insurance to cover it) anyone with fucked up sleep harangue their doctor into referring them to a sleep study (or just get an appointment at a sleep clinic yourself). I discovered I have sleep apnea in doing so, and the CPAP machine they prescribed me changed my life.

I will also highly recommend you avoid getting a Philips CPAP machine because they deliberately withheld information that led to hundreds if not thousands of people getting sick (source).

Seriously though, I went from drinking 3 coffees a day down to zero after starting CPAP therapy.

they should invent sleeping that makes you less tired

I hate sleep apnea dude I’m like a sim who’s energy bar is permanently capped at yellow

day 299

cha boy is starting on a cpap machine for the first time tonight

it turns out, that when i sleep, my cringe-ass larynx blocks itself up, and i STRAIGHT UP STOP BREATHING for up to 20 seconds at a time! of course i have always managed to start back up again, but as u might imagine this doesn't lead to great sleep quality

so wish me luck on getting that Good Sleep for once. god gives his toughest battles to his sleepiest warriors and all that.

Me: I can't believe I only slept with my CPAP machine mask on for a couple hours last night! I'm a real piece of shit who is an utter failure at taking care of himself!!

My body: *is in so much uncontrollable pain that I am nauseous and I started weeping when my partner gave me a backrub this morning that relieved a small amount of the pain*

Me: Yup, this is a moral failing on my part, and there is no explanation for why I would have trouble sleeping other than I am inherently bad and incompetent! This is a good and healthy way to view having trouble with my body, and it is definitely not indicative of a childhood of being invalidated when I was in pain!

--------

Next up, "why me having trouble applying medicine to my feet is absolutely the result of selfish laziness rather than my well-documented muscle atrophy and nerve pain!"

(I sure hope no part of me catches wise and makes a meta tumblr post debunking the toxic thought processes of my internalized ableism! I've put a lot of work into all this self-blame, after all!!)

i think we as a society should headcanon more characters as using a cpap machine🫶

Having one of these implanted tomorrow! Will be 2 months before they can turn it on, but I’m hoping it helps my sleep apnea, since I’m unable to put on a CPap mask myself bc of my arms. Hoping to get some extra energy from this thing. Had to jump through a lotta hoops to get approved since it’s currently only open to people who struggle with wearing CPaps for whatever health/disability/neurodivergent reasons. Heard from someone who had it done that afterwards you’re just sore for a week or whatever, in and around the incision site, but otherwise recovery is pretty easy. As long as I’m not conscious of the device under my skin, it’ll be alright with me. Soreness I can handle. Constant awareness of a thing touching (or in this case *inside*) my body? Nooooo. Anybody interested in having an Inspire device implant, you can hit me up. Happy to answer questions, as my time allows.

it's been 4~ weeks of CPAP trialing (i think) and i have hung out with my best friend more often than i have in 5 years, i've been chatting to another old old best friend frequently and chatting to THEIR loved ones and friends a little too. and i'm not anxious out of my mind about it - in fact i reached out and started a couple DM convos that went well. i've been writing again a little. doodled a mech. i've been showering every few days rather than every few weeks. i've been dancing to myself in my room while i do Tasks (and i'm *doing tasks*. i *vacuumed* and i *cleaned my bathroom*), listening to music more often In General. almost constantly. i started tentatively trying to build up strength in my muscles again and there's already a huge difference - i'm not struggling at all when lifting my paint station anymore, it's light. my legs stopped trembling when i go down stairs. i helped carry heavy groceries inside no problem. using my standing desk for more than an hour is comfortable. my sex drive is starting to return in bits and pieces. i'm pushing my limits slowly and carefully because i know how hard overexerting myself can hit me fatigue-wise. but i haven't been hit yet. i'm still just... fine

jesus christ i was fucked up huh

*Getting ready for bed, adding water to my CPAP tank*: "ah yes THorsTy boy! drink! drink!*

[naomiknight-17]

I had the most bizarro dream that I was marrying @punkitt-is-here ????

Which like. She's cool and all. But also I am already married. And she has an awesome boygirlfriend. So there is no reason for us to get married

Most of the dream was just me stressing out about meeting her family and trying not to make a fool out of myself anyway. Why does my brain do this to me

[ryanthedemiboy]

Just woke up and thought it said bassoon, not buffoon

my liege you cannot trust this buffoon. he doesn’t even begin every other sentence with “my liege.” he‘ll never whisper in your ear the way i do it, my liege. sire. your fuckableness

[kindsnob]

O(-( so turns out not using my cpap for like >2 weeks completely destroys my energy levels
