I feel a little silly but I really enjoy ASMR. Other YouTube videos make me want to close my eyes and sleep, ASMR videos and I’m resting eyes open.

I think they’re creepy… like some sort of sound porn :open_mouth:

For getting to sleep I prefer things like 10 hr rain sounds or ocean noises.

I freaking love ASMR. I watch some before I sleep every night. I’m very prone to tingles, especially with certain sounds and visuals.

ASMR videos are my go-to when I need some kind of distraction before going to sleep. It’s part of my nightly routine when I’m going through one of my insomniac phases. Or sometimes they’re also nice if I’m just having a nap in the afternoon. I very rarely get the actual “tingles” kind of effect these days (it happened a lot easier back when I was on either antidepressants or stimulants), but I still love the cozy sensory effect.

I can’t post links yet because I’m new here, but “SkepticalPickle” and “Goodnight Moon” are pretty good.

I admittedly don’t know what they are.

I listen to cat purr ones all the time, including right now. I don’t get tingles, but they make me feel calmer and less depressed.

They trigger me…

I also feel like the solution is that people need to be more connected to find that sense of safety/security/relaxation that our typical relationships are not providing.

So it’s like a poor substitute.

Also, one of the last few I did were really triggering for me. Like there was a side of me that was really raging when someone was touching on some personal stuff which was so weird.

“You can have your dark side. You can still be kind to yourself. It’s okay to make mistakes. No one is perfect.”

Me: #$!#$!!($!@!(@*@

I just don’t find it healing. So it annoys me now. It also just fails to soothe me anymore. I tend to feel either I need to really work out self-love or get to being more accepting of where I am… which is what makes me want to rage sometimes. A close relationship that feels secure and doesn’t feel inauthentic would be naturally healing/easy.

I like videos and sounds of people cutting soap.
