my tv just scared me, im trying to sleep and it is turned off, suddenly the light at the bottom turns on for about a minute then went out again?? it’s annoyingly bright and i thought it had burnt out months ago. is it reasonable for me to be so creeped out by this lol #weird #creepy #cantsleep #anxiety #hypervigilance

I so wish I could turn off the "Last edit was ..." indicator in Google Docs. It blinks just in my peripheral vision, and as someone with #ADHD *and* #hypervigilance I cannot help but look at it change.

Same goes for any UX elements: if you animate them, they will distract me. Yes, I've had to resort to masking tape on the screen at times. I will not share what I think of embedded videos, as you would have to look the words up and there would be things you couldn't un-see.

@odanu This feels familiar. #hypervigilance

Got into bed last night, stuck my head under husband’s hand on my pillow. When he moved it the #hypervigilance kicked in and I’ve been jumpy and tearful since I woke up. (I have been #estranged from my “mother” for 10 years and siblings for 2.)

As always, thanks to #SarahMillican for #JoinIn. I hope others are feeling ok and have at least one thing to look forward to! We’ll be doing #MuppetsChristmasCarol when we get back from family obligations with his side later.

A couple of things I've put that've helped me/my kids, were:

- an animal to snuggle with (cat in my case)
- stories
- head massage!
- rose nightlight
- hot water bottle
- someone u feel safe with staying till ur asleep
- someone in next room w doors open/lights on in the hallway

Mon tout fatigué petit poussinet est tombé dans le dodo 🥰

It’s a rainy day which means It’s a good opportunity to get on with my to do list:
bit of dramaturgy, workshop planning, academic reading, fretting over existentialist threats, worry about my disorganised cupboards, iron something for the book launch, wonder how so many folk on my street can afford new windows…
