I was reading up the other day on a bunch of things with Adhd, Autism, Audhd etc. And I came across something regarding neurodivergent people who love metal music, and why to neurotypical people it may seem contradictory due to the loud sounds, and just overall chaos.

Did you know there's actually a science to it?! Apparently this type of music helps us actually calm down and feel at some sort of peace, happy etc, because it simulates the chaos that goes on within our brains. Obviously there was much more scientific terms than that, but thats the simple terms. How cool is that?! It definitely makes sense to me, looking deeper into it. Especially when the music has to super heavy breakdowns and stank-face (iykyk) inducing sounds.

People were always shocked as I grew up how i could easily fall to sleep to some of the heaviest music I listen to, compared to more mainstream music.

I could go out and be overwhelmed by so many noises and sounds throughout the day that lead to a meltdown, but could happily lose myself and feel at ease in a room with blasting metal music, or with my music up at the highest setting in my headphones. Funnily enough, it wss always neurotypical people who found this shocking, mad etc. Whilst fellow neurodivergent folk, regardless of whether they were into the same music, understood and appreciated it.

Was just interesting to me and felt like I would share!

For my Endo girlies.

I (27 from the UK) am set to have a laparoscopy in the next few months. After 10+ years of fighting to be heard and investigated, I finally got a doctor a few months ago that didnt dismiss me, didnt fob me off, and listened to every single thing I said.

My question is: do you have to stay over night after a laparoscopy? or do you go home the same day? I only ask as I have a fear of hospitals (a lot of medical trauma) and hate having to stay over night. (but of course, if its necessary I will be doing so). I just want to be prepared is all.

I also worry about being put under. Not because being put under scares me, in fact id prefer it, but from past surgeries/procedures, we've found that sedations, pain relief etc doesnt seem to work on me as well as it would a normal person. (I have EDS and Fibromyalgia so it's more than likely down to that). Last traumatic experience with this was when I had my colonoscopy a year ago. They gave me the standard sedation through a canula(?) in the back of my hand. Made me feel a bit nauseous if im honest and all I could taste was this bleach-like taste in my mouth.

They started the procedure and straight away I had to tell them it hurt. Not just a pinch, not just a bit of pressure. But full blown pain. They tried to reassure me it'd subside as the procedure went on but it never did. It worsened. I felt everything. Every turn, every curve. I even felt them take the biopsies. Every. Single. Snip. They gave me gas and air on top of the sedation in an attempt to make me more comfortable, but not even that did anything. it got to the point where they had to take the gas and air off me because I was having too much of it. I was crying, practically screaming and shaking on the table. The nurses were lovely throughout it and I dont blame them, they were doing their job. they did suggest they stop and give me a moment before resuming but I saw no point. id rather them get it over with, than have to restart and go through it all again and for longer. One nurse held my head and caressed my temples as I cried, telling me I was okay. But after that procedure, I basically told my doctors if I ever had to have anything like that again, I have to be knocked out fully. Otherwise I just cant do it. A few days after the procedure, my entire stomach was practically black and blue from bruises across the entirety of it. I was also told that wasnt usual after a colonoscopy. but idk. Nurses were great. However whoever did my paperwork for the procedure didnt mention one bit about how the pain relief didnt work, even with having two types instead of one. Nor did they mention the problem the nurse said to me during, that she had struggled to get through my colon as it seemed to almost be closed up/cramped tight. They found polyps but I also heard nothing about them, so I assume there was nothing found 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, anyone who's gone through a laparoscopy...Could you give me some advice? what to expect? after care? How it affected your body afterwards etc?

Thank you 💜
