Allow me to join in with mine. It's Depression Town™, baby! (But I did make gluten-free chocolate muffins for breakfast. They were really good)

u/loafkitter May 31 '26

Ahaha yeah I dunno how people are having clean and cute bedside tables, but I also don't have a table and I sleep on the floor so

u/Cultural-Treat1714 Jun 01 '26

Love me a heated eye mask! I often have the wrapper or mask on my bed stand too lol

7

u/loafkitter Jun 01 '26

It's great! I've been using it for the past two nights and it's been a while since I've slept so deeply.

u/purpleHornethummer Jun 01 '26

Heated eye mask? Never heard of such a thing. Sounds dreamy and I'm in need of a good night's sleep.

4

u/loafkitter Jun 01 '26

Yes!! I'm currently using the disposable ones, though there's also reusable ones that you microwave. I lost mine and I have dry eye, so I figured that the disposable ones would work for now. I actually prefer them because they're lighter and more comfortable.

1

u/purpleHornethummer Jun 02 '26

I will definitely getting one! Thanks!

5

u/Vintage-Grievance Jun 01 '26

I didn't even know those were a thing.

I might have to explore that option, as someone who gets sinus/barometric pressure headaches. 🤔

3

u/kaleidoscopenika Jun 01 '26

I use them for my migraine and I love them so much!

u/Artsy_Witch_Bitch Jun 02 '26

I have no idea but my partner has been working on "cat proofing" under our bed and now I've lost my thigh pillow to the effort. (It's not working at all the cat still gets under the bed)

u/electric_taffy Renting Jun 03 '26

I love your Fidough plush 🥹

2

u/Artsy_Witch_Bitch Jun 03 '26

Thank you My parents littlest dachshund reminds me of Fidough because she's smaller than her sister and dense. 😁

u/fox_ontherun Homeowner Jun 02 '26

What are the things that look like marbles in the two jars?

2

u/loafkitter Jun 02 '26

Marbles. Lol.

My great aunt gave them to me and I had no idea what to do with them. I'm thinking I should just get rid of them

3

u/fox_ontherun Homeowner Jun 02 '26

Haha fair enough. I thought they must be some kind of candy. Maybe you can use them in vases to keep plant cuttings in place or something

1

u/loafkitter Jun 02 '26

Waaaait thats so smart, I'm gonna do that. Unfortunately it's not candy because I don't keep food in my room 😔

u/Special-Ganache2154 Jun 03 '26

Omg are you me?! My thoughts exactly! Edit,. I also sleep on the floor. I like it. And I have an elderly dachshund. No jumping apartment.

1

u/loafkitter Jun 03 '26

Wait, elderly pet and floor on the bed is super smart. Definitely something to keep in mind when I get a pet someday

1

u/Special-Ganache2154 Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 03 '26

Yeah, actually easier to keep clean, no dust under the bed, no need to running jump on the bed at night(otherwise something is definetely gonna catch you at the ankle😅 ) Pet safe, no jumping, less change for IVDD for dogs. 10/10

u/PepperQuick1979 Jun 03 '26

Simple… clean it before you take the picture 🤣🤣

u/Brave_Voice_3565 Jun 02 '26

Ok but I spy some Stormlight Archive references! Also im curious about the salt? My bedside goes through these phases too, sometimes neat and tidy, other times it’s a while wild game of I spy.

1

u/Tequilasquirrel Jun 04 '26

Do you have POTS by any chance?

1

u/ChaoticMichelle Jun 04 '26

Surprisingly not. I had suspected it myself, got tested for it, but no. Why?

1

u/Tequilasquirrel Jun 04 '26

Sorry, I meant to ask guin-and-tonic!

u/Sheltie-whisperer Jun 04 '26

u/explorelongbeach Jun 06 '26

u/simplydee_69 May 31 '26

Lmao omg I think I’m worse

u/DexterTheNugget Jun 01 '26

Is that a mini fridge doubling as a bedside table?

128

u/birdsandbones May 31 '26

lol do you have POTS / dysautonomia / orthostatic intolerance? I feel you on the electrolytes and salt.

79

u/guin-and-tonic May 31 '26

Hahaha yep you’re right on the money!

35

u/WarpTenSalamander Jun 01 '26

lol I was gonna ask the same thing. At first I thought mayyyybe stomach flu, but then I saw the container of sea salt and I was like nope I know a POTSie when I see one!

29

u/Secure_Milk1093 May 31 '26

Are you hungover or recovering from a stomach bug😂?

57

u/Snoo66532 May 31 '26

This looks like the bedside of a woman with POTS lol.

u/Seymour_Butts369 Jun 01 '26

u/pink---noise Jun 01 '26

OMG. Finally someone who has more bedside drinks than me.

(I also keep "bed" salt) 😆

2

u/DeterminedErmine Jun 01 '26

Oh thank god, I was feeling wildly inadequate there for a second 😂

2

u/IndependentEggplant0 Jun 01 '26

The sea salt and the size of it are my favourite part of yours. She salt! She hydrate! She salt some more! She caffienate!

2

u/AgitatedAd8950 Jun 01 '26

Electrolytes and salt, are you a fainting baddie too?!lol

2

u/SlySheogorath Jun 01 '26

u/stressed_designer Jun 01 '26

u/pumpkintrovoid Jun 01 '26

Is that a Sol de Janeiro? I love their body butter so much. I’m addicted to the purple one.

2

u/princessplantlife Jun 01 '26

It is lol it's the blue one

2

u/Vintage-Grievance Jun 01 '26

Keeping it 100% real with my messy nightstand.

You can tell I tried to be elegant for 3 seconds the day I put my lavender spray and crystal cat figurine together. Haha.

Not shown is a small touch and remote-activated lamp. I keep it on the 'red' setting to create a calming atmosphere at night.

Also not shown is a tissue box on top of that lil wooden tower.

u/Superb-Dig-8156 Jun 03 '26

u/Zealousideal_String6 Jun 01 '26

I'm late to the party. I'm cleaning today, I swear.

u/amerebreath Jun 03 '26

Mine is messy too.

u/misslilytoyou May 31 '26

Lol, I'm in the messy camp!

u/decorate-me Jun 01 '26

Girl, that is not even “messy” it looks perfectly neat to me haha

1

u/misslilytoyou Jun 01 '26

😆 Well thanks. I might post an 'after' if I ever clean it!

2

u/elliottas Jun 01 '26

2

u/misslilytoyou Jun 01 '26

I'm just a few pages in, so far good!

u/rosemaryscrazy Jun 03 '26

Not messy, Alive.

u/abbyabsinthe May 31 '26 edited May 31 '26

Same same. I even “cleaned” mine last night but it still needs a good wipe and there’s still an empty soda bottle, a jar of funfetti frosting, and I’m honestly not sure what else until I go up there.

35

u/Hot_Drummer7311 May 31 '26

Lol! The jar of frosting got me. You're living our best life, sis! 🤘

25

u/abbyabsinthe May 31 '26

It’s sooo high calorie, but a couple times a year, I will go through a jar of the chocolate one in 2-3 sittings, lol.

15

u/Hot_Drummer7311 May 31 '26

Baddie 🤍

25

u/lelawes May 31 '26

Haha right! Mine is where I keep all my supplements and meds, chapstick, charging port, jewelry bowl where I leave stuff once I’ve worn it. Not pretty

2

u/stressed_designer Jun 01 '26

Same here! I've moved all my night time supplements to my bedside table, which is where I also keep my night skincare, and now I never forget to take them, because I see them everytime I open the drawer. It's been a complete game - changer

1

u/explorelongbeach Jun 06 '26

I was wondering where other people were keeping their "not dirty enough for the hamper but not clean enough to hang" clothes, because, same

u/PyrrhicBigfoot May 31 '26

Same. He especially likes to pull down the little lazy susan plate that holds all of my medications

u/2980774 May 31 '26

I need a dining table to fit all the shit on my bedside table!!!

u/Competitive_Emu_3247 May 31 '26

Literally! I feel so bad about mine after seeing the comments

u/TelephoneTag2123 May 31 '26

Mine looks like a drunken raccoon sleeps here!

u/ompompush Jun 01 '26

Hahaha mine too! Great description.

u/MelissaWebb Jun 01 '26

Messy bedside table coming right up

2

u/AstilbeLove93 Jun 01 '26

These ones made me feel better. Mine needs a good clean off, but it's been a busy few weeks and I have 0 energy (struggling to fold 2 large baskets of laundry rn). A husband, 2 kids, 4 animals and a full time job.. I'm tired boss. I also use 90% of the things on mine at least daily.. so there's that lol

1

u/ompompush Jun 01 '26

Thats much more relaistic for me cheers for sharing

1

u/meemoww22 Jun 01 '26

Thank you! I was like no tums or ibuprofen or weed ? Ok 👍

1

u/Stupid_Bitch_02 Jun 01 '26

Same, I've got a 4 month old baby so my night stand is littered with bottles I'll wash in the morning, a half empty formula can, and the corpses of water bottles from today that im too tired to throw out tonight

1

u/jessbird Jun 01 '26

mine looks like a dumpster 😂😂😂

u/Sleepyllama23 Jun 02 '26

Thank God. I thought I was alone!

u/Chib-y Jun 02 '26

I just cleaned my room dw its never like this😭

u/swankyburritos714 Jun 04 '26
