I think probably I post like an obscure neocities page run by an autistic woman. Thankfully I have one of those sites and also Just Post to do that on.

Yes! I hope you won't take this the wrong way but I saw someone post on the reddit just post a few days ago, very ornate and well thought out and esoteric posts, and I was like, is that twovests?? Turned out to be someone else alas, a few out there are still carrying the just post torch!!

I find listening to heavy metal music helps me deal with my feelings of frustration. YMMV.

It could be that you'd benefit from something more vigorous or frankly stressful. I had a period where I didn't do much besides very leisurely activities - was injured and had to stay in bed, recovered. Not just physically but also had no external demands. My stress tolerance went down and I was hyper all the time, but I started literally playing fps games and high intensity cardio (the kind of where you go hard for a minute or two and have to take a break) to get adrenaline flowing in my body and get used to it again.

Are you hungry or thirsty? Either of these can make your physiology ramp up.
Other than that, I’d recommend to go towards the extremes. Either work yourself tired or meditate until you are still. If you tend to get a lot of exercise normally I would start with meditation, if not get up and move.

Ah, thank you. I was fearing that. I walk a lot but I don't think it's enough anymore..

I hate to say it, but exercise, preferably cardio. The gymbros and fitfluencers were right about this one particular thing :(
I think many, many of my emotional problems were just having - literal - pent up energy. Blood sugar or whatever. Walking and running sweats away the anxiety.
That said, I love getting into fights with strangers online. So it's hard to say

Once your recipes are in grams a scale can take your baking up an entire level. It also (as twovests points out) just makes it easier.
I usually cook meals without ever touch my scale. I can do things like bake bread by feel, but not by choice.

A lot of the time in baking when you measure out flour with cups you're meant to scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon and then level it off with a knife, and I find that incredibly tedious. The easier option of just scooping the flour out with the measuring cup almost doubles the amount of flour, so that's not great either... I've found myself preferring a scale for measuring flour most of the time.

My problem is the multi-tasking, I get too stressed out if i have to do multiple things at once

i don't think i could do that; i can usually make enough soup for several days if i spend like an hour on it. i don't think i could make a multi course meal, and on short notice the problem would be i don't keep enough fresh vegetables around to do that.

oh that's actually a really good call. when i measure flour i have a whole process where i take a measuring cup and a butter knife to level the measurement off but that means i have to dirty two things up each time i measure.
I'll have to look in to getting a scale. i don't like buying special kitchen tools though, so who knows. if i get one i'll let you know.

The scale is good because you don't need to dirty measuring cups or anything else. Everything in one or two bowls! Amazing feeling

This is definitely the vibe you give, but your writing also punches way above the weight of an ordinary scientist. It makes me think you're someone who deeply values The Arts
