The best online site for white noise (and background noises in general) in my opinion is this: https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/whiteNoiseGenerator.php by Dr. Ir. Stéphane Pigeon. You can pick Brown Noise in the left column. You can also customize the sound itself. Personally, I need to shift it a little to accommodate with my tinnitus to get the relaxing effect of white noise.
I use this too. You should know the iPhone has this as a accessibility feature. Go to Accessibility -> Audio/Visual -> Background Sounds -> Sound -> Dark Noise After that go to Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Background Sound and you'll be able to activate the noise with a tripple side button click
This is awesome, wish there was a way to turn it on and off from Control Center without having to set it to triple-click side button (would prefer to avoid accidental activation from the button but still have easier access to this feature)

For tinnitus, try massaging the back of your head/neck. Tightness there can be the cause in some people. Reddit posted a similar trick a few years ago, but in my experience, massage seems to be just as good, so if you haven't tried it, do so and you might get some relief from that.
If massage does work, consider getting a Theragun percussion massage tool. That thing has done wonders for my old age pains.
Between switching to a standing desk and the Theragun, my hips/back/neck are in much better shape than they were a few years ago.

The information I got was from a company called Modigo but it was already discussed with my private psychologist; So Modigo just clarified what I had been told and had understood in writing. Regarding the mortgage thing, I had the same feeling as you, but how it works is that mortgages are cheaper if you buy them with private insurance (income protection, life insurance). For example: Nordea (a bank) and “If” (an ins…
This sounds like it should be illegal imo. I’m not Swedish but your country strikes me as one where there are lots of protections for all kinds of people. Your (mental) health status really shouldn’t have an impact on whether or not you can get a mortgage, you cannot change anything about that. To me it sounds just as bad as profiling based on race or gender.

> I was never diagnosed as a child because I largely functioned as a kid and was quiet and non-disruptive Those pesky ADHD-Impulsive giving us a bad name. Same here, diagnosed but I was the most calm and polite kid ever. The hyperactivity is inside my head. There's a hamster running in circles at 9000 RPM and it's never taken a break. "You're overthinking it", people say to me. You have no idea.
I’m guilty of overthinking everything. It’s come in handy as a programmer but it tends to hold me back socially. I’d often think about social interactions ahead of time. My brain would create countless situations that I’d play out. Once I exhausted one situation, I jump into analyzing the next possible situation. On and on I’d go. I’ve only recently been able to quiet down my beehive brain a bit thanks to a few reali…
Please share. Great comment, BTW. Enlightening for someone like me who suffers from the same situation and hates himself for it.
Careful not to confuse this with the brown note.

Yeah, that's not very healthy.
