I’ve been trying to push myself to do new things the past almost 2 years since my funding was approved. It normally doesn’t go as well as I had hoped, but at least I’m able to leave the house and I’m still alive.
I still want to work and travel and a lot more things I hope I can do in the future when covid is finally over.

ASMR means Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It if you listen to it, its meant to give you tingles on your skin and spine. Some people love it, some don’t get the tingling. I have felt tingle a few times and its a very strange sensation, like a feather gentle touching your skin.
This past year, I’ve been trying to record ASMR videos. It has been extremely difficult for me for many reasons.
1. I’m not very “techie”, so it takes me ages to learn new software. I get frustrated easily and have lost my patience, so I usually quit.
2. I now have sometimes very loud tinnitus, so its hard to tell the difference between my tinnitus and white noise on the recording. Turning the volume up just makes it worse.
3. I really have no ideas what I’m doing. I have done loads of research, and found the best equipment is very expensive.
4. My Samsung phone is great to use as a phone, but not as a recording device. Everything sounds tinny and a bit distorted and has lots of white noise and I have no idea how to remove it.
5. Its extremely difficult to find a place that has NO background noise. I even went to a national park, and it has car engine noise from people driving past.
I want to do this to have some purpose to my life, than just shopping and endless house work and waiting for the NDIS to hurry up.
It doesn’t matter what I do, I seem to always struggle. Other people seem to cruise along, yet I’m almost drowning and need a floating life preserver.
