I would have my laptop in my room,but I am almost certain that I will be stuck In a form of hyper focus. It is common in people with ADHD to become hyperfocused. It is good when you have a project due soon or when you have a deadline to meet, but you aren't in control then. You mind blocks out everything else so your "whole world" is one thing. You don't think about sleeping, eating, or drinking water. Most of the times this happens to me it is brief like a few days. Someone has to “snap” the person “out” of it. If that laptop is with me sleep is going to be a problem. I have my iPod in my room and it has guided meditation and nature sound tracks. I somites listen to those.

Oh.
So you would hyper-focus on the music/sound-effects and not be able to sleep?
If so, at least you wouldn't be hyper-focused on your negative thoughts. :P :wink:

NT, here, i suffered from panic attacks a long time ago...To the extent that i was prescribed heart failure medicine for six months...Eventually, it was a sleeping disorder expert who accurately diagnosed me and prescribed half of the minimum dose of Zoloft...To be honest, Zoloft caused horrible side-effects...But i educated myself on the topic of panic attacks...I learned that these should only last about 5 minutes...Knowing this in advance makes a huge difference...I also focused on my breathing...And positive self-talk..."No, i am not gonna die...This is only a false alarm...There is no danger!" "...Understanding the fight-flight reaction also helps...You need to burn-out the excess of adrenaline pumping your body...Walk it off...And keep in mind fear is a bully, the more you pay attention to it, the worst!! !...Instead, think about it in terms of an ocean wave coming to you...Do not fight it; surf it :wink:. Get well soon wishes heading your way...


I particularly like this, but all the advice is goodly. :wink:

Yup, sounds right. :wink:
That is why I don't stay up to keep you company.
