When I fall into a frantic or despairing state of mind, full of unwelcome thoughts that can't slow down, it is often the result of a series, a sequence of things. When I do too much, think too much, absorb too much, eat too badly, sleep too little, work too hard, get too frazzled by life, there it is. A repetitive strain injury of the mind.

Frankly, my concern about younger generations switching to exclusively using smartphones for digital communication has less to do with computer literacy and more to do with the demonstrably harmful ergonomics of the smartphone form factor. I have an inkling that we're about to see a massive generational wave of RSI-related chronic disabilities as folks blow out every nerve and tendon from their elbows down by the time they're 25 trying to type on a touchscreen the size of a playing card.

Steddie definitely have elevator races and elevator vs stairs races. As well as ‘who can go down more stairs in one step’ competitions. So far it’s a tie on both accounts but there’s been multiple injuries along the way

why is it that even i with my tiny dainty fingers still feel like the world of Phone is so hostile. so many tiny buttons close to each other, everywhere, not in particularly intuitive ways, i misclick things all the time every day and i'm not particularly clumsy??? why do we live like this

If you experience carpal tunnel or any symptoms of hand pain, lack of circulation, or repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), you need to start wrist exercises.

Luckily, they’re very easy!

Wrist Curls You Can Do Right Now

Find an object you can hold with your fingertips—thinner hardback books are what I use.

Hold your arms straight out in front of you or rest them on your knees with your palms towards the sky.

Let your wrists naturally fall down, then curl them up til your palm is perpendicular to your forearm.

Repeat 5-10 times for 3 sets, with 30secs rest between each set.

Over time, you’ll want to make the objects heavier, but to get started, use anything!

In the beginning, it’s more about doing the actions at all than doing them perfectly.

In principle, I know that sleep deprivation aggravates inflammatory conditions, but in practice I'm always genuinely surprised when I get to bed at a reasonable hour and my RSI feels much better the next morning. This may be because I'm stupid.

Hello everyone,

I thought I would share some information about body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). According to this article:

Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) include any repetitive self-grooming behavior that involves biting, pulling, picking, or scraping one’s own hair, skin, lips, cheeks, or nails that can lead to physical damage to the body and have been met with multiple attempts to stop or decrease the behavior.

Types of BFRBs:

Hair Pulling Disorder

(Trichotillomania) causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, and other parts of the body resulting in noticeable bald patches. Approximately 5-20% of people who have hair pulling disorder also swallow the hair.

Skin Picking Disorder

(Excoriation) causes people to repetitively touch, rub, scratch, pick at, or dig into their skin, resulting in skin discoloration, scarring, and even severe tissue damage and disfigurement.

Nail Biting Disorder

(Onychophagia) causes people to bite their nails past the nail bed and chew on cuticles until they bleed, leading to soreness and infection.

Cheek Biting

Often referred to as "cheek chewing," chronic cheek biting can result in a myriad of complications. Redness, painful sores, and tears can occur in the mucosa, which is the inner lining of the mouth.

I will leave the full article below for anyone who wants to read it. I hope many of you found this helpful.
