Distraction things/tips

[personal profile] philstar22 2021-03-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Looking for recs of things or ideas for ways to distract myself when pain gets particularly bad. What sort of methods have other people used? What things have worked?

Meditation. This is so stunningly boring that I either go to sleep in sheer self-defence, or get up and start moving around slowly.

Scrolling.

Listening to audiobooks with my eyes closed. Preferably books I already know, so I don't have to follow a plot.

A nice hot bubble-bath.

Good luck. Pain is the pits.

Normally at work I listen to music through headphones so I don't have to listen to the people around me talking but the other day I had a headache. Youtube happened to recommend me this nice, chill, "Japanese village" atmospheric thing. It was really nice and didn't make my headache worse to listen to (the way my usual playlist probably would have). I actually ended up finding it again earlier today so I could relax listening to it.

Hot baths or showers. In either case I try to turn the lights down as far as I can make it without being impossible to see. But since the headaches usually come with light sensitivity, it helps if I don't have to have the lights on much.
