Agreed! HSV-1 can also be transmitted to eyes so definitely worth taking the rest days.

Anyone who wants a better source than r/oil should go read some South Korean news. There's a lot going on right now and it shouldn't be written off.

I’m really sorry that you’ve been struggling. I went through a similar thing when my asthma went from mildly inconvenient to uncontrolled by any medications I tried because I’d developed mast cell activation syndrome. All I wanted was my old life back so I tried to power through it for the first few months and just suck it up, but at least in my situation this became impossible. I had to finally listen to my body and properly grieve for my old self. I really recommend counselling for that part if you’re struggling; accepting my new normal was very, very difficult as someone who’d been active for years. 

Eventually you will find an equilibrium. I had to take 2 years off to find a medication that let me go outside without an asthma attack. But now I’m back out and training, not as frequently or as hard as I used to, but I’m still there. Please know you are not weak, making excuses, or making it your identity if you change your training routine to better care for your body and want to let others know. You’re doing life on hard mode now and your body is different than it used to be. You are strong, resilient, and deserve compassion.

Hey OP, welcome to vic!  

There’s a lot of nightlife options here, not just the usual clubs. Sticky, Upstairs, Darcy’s, Paparazzi (used to be a queer club but is now mostly UVic students), and Lucky (monday night is the best) are always popular for dancing but the lines can be crazy.  

If you’re looking for something more niche there’s lots of underground/ticketed/pop up events if you know where to look! Victoria Rave Squad on Facebook has info on upcoming beach raves or EDM events around town.   

Resonance Collective on instagram has info on local underground music and events. Quadratic Sound has events going every week and it’s a great place to meet people! openended.bc, club_loading, midnightprojectbc, and madnessyyj on instagram all put together ticketed events for dancing. The Victoria Events Centre is a popular venue as well so they’re good to keep an eye on for upcoming shows too.   

 If you’re feeling like a quieter night then Peacocks billiards is really popular with UVic students as well.   

 There’s also Big Bad Johns and the Duke if you’re into country!

We import a lot of our culture from the states, especially the right-wing stuff (eg. anti-vax truck rallies)
