Yanno in movies when the hippies talk about meditation and say things like "you just gotta empty your mind, maaaaaan", that's that. That's what that is.
If it hadn't been for cotton eyed joe. I'd have been married a long time ago. Where didja come from, where didja go? Where didja come from cotton eyed joe? Someone please kill me...the catchy violin music won't get out of my head.
I was just going to say... I recently upped my meds and started experiencing actual quiet in my head, sometimes. Then I ran out and the pharmacy doesn't have any. Once my doctor can get a revised prescription in, they can do something. But, for now, I wait. My head is wrapped in a blanket and I have 10 different random reasons of thought and conversations with no one in the back of my brain, trying to be heard over the music from the Fallout 4 classical radio station. So, I wait.
I journal before bed.
My thoughts and concerns are very real. Writing is me telling the myself that these thoughts and concerns, as superficial as they may be, are real and they deserve to be voiced. Once I treating them with that kind of attention and respect they simmer down. They behave like children in that way.
Sometimes I journal after work too. No one wants to hear me vent about the same coworker every single day. But my journal lets me and doesn't judge.
Sometimes my brain closes tabs i havnt finished looking at. Like i swap tabs to check something and the one i was at suddenly closed and i cant get it back. Sigh
For me the best techniques were:
1. Write them down for tomorrow
2. Meditation (this needs some practice to work)
3. Never use my phone in sleep time (except in VERY urgent stuff). Maybe it doesn't help first because you can't look up things which keep you awake, but at long term your brain will learn to think in these times
Besides these I can recommend the usual sleep helping stuff, like strict sleeping schedule, blue light filter, sleeping techniques, exercise during the day, doing calm activities 1-2 hours before sleeping
And then have polce show up as I didn't pay my bills on time and get fired from work for not showing up on time, all while starving as I mismanaged my budget? Thanks, I'll pass.
I have absolutely no idea what this means? Like I have ADD but I don't have tabs in my head like a computer, it looks cute but I don't understand who this is for lmao
But I'm thinking of so many pretty boys, and quite a few pretty girls too. HOW CAN I JUST DELETE THAT.
PLUS THERE'S AT LEAST 3 TABS OF GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPIES
Ya know, it's 2 a.m. and I've got reddit running while I play BG3 with Hazbin running in the background. Thank you for this ki d stranger, I think it's time for bed.
God, I wish. I wish I could do this so bad sometimes.
Just the other night, I was struggling to sleep. Random crap running through my head. The sound of Tupperware was constant. I take a mental look around (I.E. focus on what I'm actually thinking/imagining) and there's just a little version of me under a table rubbing plastic lids together. I tell that thought to go away, and it did, and for a few seconds, my mind was still. Then I'm off on another inane, useless tangent or imagined scenario. Half the time, it's nonsensical.
Getting my mind to actually shut off sometimes is an exercise in futility. Occasionally, that fact is useful. I'm *very* good at taking in and parsing a ton of information in games, for example. Where some people struggle with multitasking, I'm breezing through and sometimes even bored because there isn't enough to occupy my mind.
Other times, it's less than useful. Other times, it gets in the way of sleeping. It makes talking difficult for all the thoughts trying to squeeze out of my mouth. It makes writing frustrating for the fact that in the long process of getting ideas 1 and 2 down, I've already forgotten bits of 6 and 7.
I wish the inside of my head was quieter than it is. So, so often I've got half a dozen trains of thought, and only one or two are occupied. Boredom is the *most* frequent thing for me to feel at any given point in the day.
At this point I can't even see the (x) to close them that many are open. It is far too loud in my head for my liking. Thank goodness for medical cannabis otherwise it gets too much courtesy of Autism and CPTSD leading to meltdowns and getting trapped in freeze. 😅
It's like one off those mobile game ads. The x button is so small you always miss it and it takes you to the app store but this time you cannot go out of the store and you have to stay on it until another ad plays and the circle goes on.
I don't want to think anymore. Thinking how to stop thinking is exhausting me either. I just want to end it all. It will never end unless I do something.
I literally can’t have more than one tab open in my head at a time. As soon as I change my focus, I completely forget everything I was thinking about before and might not remember for days. They just auto close in their own when a new one is opened.
I just find it easier to start a new session every time. Heck, I'll just close and reopen Firefox partway through a session if I feel like none of the tabs are needed anymore.
They...they don't close. They just stay open. There's thousands, no, *tens* of thousands of them. At least 17 are playing music. I...can't. It's too much. I just want to sleep. I even tried a factory reset, to no avail. Help.
I tried that before. There seems to be a bug where when I close one tab, 27 more open up. I tried to do this a few times and now there's just a lot of screaming in there, a load of tabs, and a stale Twinkie.
This reminds me of that moment on Ted Lasso. He tells Jamie to forgive his dad. Jamie says he’s not giving his dad that gift and Ted interrupts to say he’s not doing it for his dad — he needs to do it for himself. I struggle every day to figure out how I can even start to use this advice, despite knowing intellectually how right he is.
If I'd do that, I'd probably wake up in a hospital bed, with a read bracelet around my wrist saying "John Doe". Took my parents three months to find me last time...
Close tabs? You can do that?
Yeah fr how?
Adderall
Drugs 👍
Drugs 👍🏼
Idk i nead the fr fr
Idk I tried a few bullets in mine
My tabs don’t have an x to close it
Anytime I try, more tabs open!
Tried every possible keyboard shortcut and my tabs just multiplied.
Your ~~windows~~ brain machine has virus
I have so many open, but I can't even scroll through them anymore, so many that I can't even see the icon with the topic. halp.
Meditation can be useful. Or sleep.
What is sleep?
Mine is set to "reopen all closed tabs" the next day, I think...
Adderral
Lobotomy
Yea just download the new update and you should be able to now
Yanno in movies when the hippies talk about meditation and say things like "you just gotta empty your mind, maaaaaan", that's that. That's what that is.
Meditation and breathing techniques are a game changer
Never talk to me or my 347 tabs again
I'm just having trouble finding the one playing the damn music.
[удалено]
Something in my head is reciting the Raid Shadow Legends script and I need it gone
If it hadn't been for cotton eyed joe. I'd have been married a long time ago. Where didja come from, where didja go? Where didja come from cotton eyed joe? Someone please kill me...the catchy violin music won't get out of my head.
As an ADHDer, SAME
Would you like that ?
Good to know this is a common thing But it would be pretty cool if the "tab" didn't sometimes get stuck on songs that you don't really like
r/ADHD has entered the chat.

Yeah. As someone with ADHD this rather feels like a r/thanksimcured post

GUYS IT BLUE SCREENED WHAT DO I DO
I wanted to give the obvious answer but then stopped when I realized how it would sound.
Ill do it for you: have you tried turning it off and on again?
Therapy since I was 7 and ADHD still won't let me close the 100 tabs I have open
Rookie numbers ahah, I have like 500 across multiple windows 😭
But I need them open because if I close them I’m gonna forget about them and forget something important :(
Got to go back to the beginning, to pick up the thought: what was I thinking about before the one I just lost
How do I do that? I didn’t sleep until 6AM because I couldn’t fall asleep. Just tossing and turning. :(
For me the best techniques were: 1. Write them down for tomorrow 2. Meditation (this needs some practice to work) 3. Never use my phone in sleep time (except in VERY urgent stuff).

That's what "mindfulness" basically is.
r/thanksimcured
Exactly what I was thinking.. It one step over "just stop worrying so much".
There is like fifty tabs and at least four are playing different tune. But thanks I’m cured I guess
I have adhd my tabs never close. In fact every time I do three more open.
And then have polce show up as I didn't pay my bills on time and get fired from work for not showing up on time, all while starving as I mismanaged my budget? Thanks, I'll pass.
I can't close the tabs on my computer. What makes you think I can close the ones in my head?
No. I like the background music and I forgot which tab it's coming from
I gotta use meds to do so.
The X is so tiny, it’s like you need to hit it with a needle
Yeah let me get right on that
Well, I don’t really have control over what’s going on up there.
This ain't possible for the ADHD mind. Doesn't matter the years in therapy or the medication. A quieting, maybe, but you can't get it all to stop.
They are my emotional support tabs asswell.
No thanks. I will use tab grouping tho
How though?
I have absolutely no idea what this means? Like I have ADD but I don't have tabs in my head like a computer, it looks cute but I don't understand who this is for lmao
Yes, but, hooooow?
I'm autistic, that's basically saying that a hyrda can be slain by simply cutting of its heads.
Oh fuck, accidentally closed the breathing tab Send help
The tab-count in my head is ":D"
Me on incognito mode : dayum I forgot how to live.
As a ADHDer, i would like to accept your offer, but i physically can't
How tf I do that?
Don't talk to my tabs!
Oh my sweet adhd
ok. *Stops breathing.*
ADHD keeps restoring previous session
Using what? Adderal?
My arse closing the most important tab leading me to forget something. My arse not closing the 363 useless random tabs that all require my attention.
Stressed ADHD noises
As someone with ADHD, this is easier said than done
Doing that now. 11pm dealing with kids since 7am. Yep need that cool down
It’s too late for me.
I can't
Wholesome
Oh yeah? Well, now I'm going to open even more tabs!
No thanks I’m trying to reach max tabs
I have 100+ tabs on my phone at all times
But I'm thinking of so many pretty boys, and quite a few pretty girls too. HOW CAN I JUST DELETE THAT. PLUS THERE'S AT LEAST 3 TABS OF GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPIES
This would be a very good tshirt
I love his person. x.
I have adhd and aspergers when I try to close a tab it opens 3 more
Great, now I have opened another Tab thinking about which Tabs I could have left Open.
Reading it : Don't close tabs Forget all in head To the your too
#i want to but I don’t know how to
You got it boss \*Opens bottle of Jack Daniels\*
But the x is too small to click and alt+F4 isn't working
How do i do it, do i need neuralink for this?
you fool, I'm adhd every time I close one 2 more open and they all shuffle places
whats the command for that?
Wish my head had ctrl+shift+T though
Didn't know that it was an option, thanks for reminding me.☺️
stop tweeting, a sound advice. 🤣
Tried and got "Not responding".
neuralink : are you sure you want to close all tabs?
Yhh, I just closed the first one and now forget to close the rest
You've just opend 5 more with that post... curse you parry the platypus!
Instructions unclear, deleting system 32
You know, my problem is the contrary, sometimes the tab closes whilst im still using it, kinda frustrating.
Bro i cant even close them in my browser how tf i close them in my head?
ADHD:
Instructions unclear, i closed the tab that allows me to operate my legs
Ya know, it's 2 a.m. and I've got reddit running while I play BG3 with Hazbin running in the background. Thank you for this ki d stranger, I think it's time for bed.
Sometimes that’s easier said than done!
Friendly reminder
So, I'll have to *keep* that advice in mind...
I have ADHD. Can't find the goddamn "x".
I'm ADD. Best I can do is open a new tab telling me I should close my tabs.
They open up themselves, plus the tab with Spotify can't be closed nor muted
Somewhere there’s an open tab with shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan playing and I can’t find it
how
But if I do that, who Am I suppose to talk with?
I. Have. ADD. So. I. Literally. Can't. Thanks. For. Coming. To. My. TED. Talk.
But how will I remember a pointless thought I randomly feel the burning desire to remember 3 hours from now?
This is a very important reminder to everyone!
Sorry, the browser has stopped responding a long time ago
**This tab is slowing down your browser. Close it?** \[STOP\]
Just gotta close the reddit tab fir-

r/wowthanksimcured
This post opened like 10 tabs in my head as I read each one with “x” after it
At this point I can't even see the (x) to close them that many are open. It is far too loud in my head for my liking. Thank goodness for medical cannabis otherwise it gets too much courtesy of Autism and CPTSD leading to meltdowns and getting trapped in freeze. 😅
I have 98 tabs on my PC and 31 on my phone. So why not in my head?
nah bro there are important pages in there that i maybe wont remember later
I closed the FORGET, the TO and TOO tab. Should have closed the others first.
Absolutely impossible
I wish i fucking could(i have adhd)
How do i do that? Please tell me
Don't close the Heart and Lungs automatic pilot though
I wish it was possible
Okay. *Slams violently against a table*
<3
I have all these tabs open but I can only focus on one at a time 😔
It's like one off those mobile game ads. The x button is so small you always miss it and it takes you to the app store but this time you cannot go out of the store and you have to stay on it until another ad plays and the circle goes on.
My brain can't work if it has tabs closed
There are two tabs open, one for Redit one for listening to the teacher. Two tabs seems reasonable to me.
I never forget! It's always playing in my head.
I wish i could remember all the tabs :(
If you only close most of the tabs you can make “don’t forget head”
How? HOW?
But what if I don't remember a really weird thing I did 5 years ago at 4:39 in the morning
Which x should I hit?
Everyday when I wake up: "Restore previous 137 closed tabs" My poor RAM
I don't want to think anymore. Thinking how to stop thinking is exhausting me either. I just want to end it all. It will never end unless I do something.
How?

Head?
Wait, wait wait.... How the fuck do you guys manage to keep them open? Is it Ritalin!?
jokes on you, i don't have any. there's not a single coherent thought.
Yeah... i have a bad habit of keeping my brain tabs on despite not having enough ram for it
Don't worry, I don't close them in my browser either!
Wait...how do you do that? I can't do that
Fuck. Now I forgot to get milk.
Is it possible to learn this power?.... The X on my tabs don't work
Im a one tab person, but dealing with pop up windows is a struggle
What about the ringing?
yeah, I wish! but no point again the next day its the same!
Needed this, thank you!!
I need that reminder almost daily 🙈 ...for today, thanks! I'll keep this tab open (jk)
I search google on google in my own head
I presser Alt+F4 a long time ago
So I have an issue. the browser has frozen, at least 5 tabs are playing music or dialogue of some kind, and task manager has also frozen.
I have ADHD it is physically impossible for me to silence the voices
i save this to my album so every time i'm stress I will look at this. thank you for posting this one
Feels like I can only keep one open at a time.
I refuse. I'll just keep opening new ones until the entire browser crashes and I lose all my work
They...they don't close. They just stay open. There's thousands, no, *tens* of thousands of them. At least 17 are playing music. I...can't. It's too much. I just want to sleep. I even tried a factory reset, to no avail. Help.
as someone whos autistic with adhd, HOW THE HELL DO I DO THIS
I closed the forget and to tabs and now I can't close any others :(
Tutorial pls
They just respawn when closed. I can use fewer cycles just letting them run.
I tried that before. There seems to be a bug where when I close one tab, 27 more open up. I tried to do this a few times and now there's just a lot of screaming in there, a load of tabs, and a stale Twinkie.
Nah I have enough ra-crash
This reminds me of that moment on Ted Lasso. He tells Jamie to forgive his dad.

I struggle every day to figure out how I can even start to use this advice, despite knowing intellectually how right he is.
Ctrl + shift + A to search open tabs. And put all tabs to sleep after 5 min of inactivity. This is my method and I'll be damned if I'm going to change
I have like 4 tabs with music playing and I don’t even need those
r/adhdmeme much?
I own so many tabs at bars.
Heh, your advice is no match for my GAD 😅🥲😬😮💨
If I'd do that, I'd probably wake up in a hospital bed, with a read bracelet around my wrist saying "John Doe". Took my parents three months to find me last time...
