I didn't know that actually, I was only paranoid about it giving me a sore throat & bad breath
, makes sense though.And I already have crap teeth.

My meds give me a dry mouth. I find licking my teeth and chewing gum helps.

Always have a bottle of water on your person.
I still haven’t worked out why I’m supposed to try mindfulness

You can’t work it out intellectually. It’s a living/learning experience
Stop trying to work it out, sit with the thought and observe how it feels in your body...

Me neither.
I'm shit at mediation (and some say it's actively dangerous for folk with C-PTSD, such as me).
Doesn't stop people constantly recommending it to me though.

Yeah I'm still waiting on 2nd part of assessment for autism and I strongly suspect meditation is mainly a thing for the neurotypicals.

‘Empty your head of all thoughts’ - wtf?

The only times I think I’ve managed it were when I was at school staring out of the window while the teacher droned on about quadratic equations and when on my bike or cooking something I’ve cooked loads of times before - those are serene zen moments
I know you're just having a laugh here, but I've been doing loads of meditation lately, and it's more about allowing thoughts to run, but just observing them, rather than getting rid of them‘Empty your head of all thoughts’ - wtf?
Yes I seem to be able to get in the headspace when doing pottery, making a mosaic, gardening, cooking, swimming lanes in a pool... any repetitive activity which has a level of familiarity to it (as in I've done it before many times).
It happens spontaneously though, and not every time I do that activity. I can't choose to make it happen (or not).

nah I (autistic and mental) find it invaluable. Can’t do any sort of creative/deep analytical thinking without doing approx 5 minutes mindful breathing before. Went for a mindful walk earlier - focussed my attention on the feeling and sound of walking, wind on my skin, the image(s) in front of me. Reduces my stress and brings me back to a calm, thoughtful place
Oh that is interesting.
Nice one!
Whether or not I am deemed to be on the spectrum, as the saying goes "when you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person".
Me neither. Tried loads of times but my mind just gets distracted too easily.
I never used to, apart from a stint at life modelling. Was the stillest I've ever been, and made me feel very strange but relaxed. I've been doing short guided mindful stuff lately, and longer ocean sounds/binaural beats/rainy thunder podcasts. It's very effective at managing stress.
I was the same for years. Convert now though.
I'm glad it works for you. I've had several courses of CBT and 2 courses of mindfulness. I just can't concentrate/relax enough for the mindfulness.
Have you tried listening to any asmr/sleep google podcasts? I'm finding them pretty addictive. Am zoned out in minutes. They don't make me sleep but it's a form of meditation. Hugely relaxing.
