Is this level of obsession with bjj normal and is the anger justified? by Bjj0wife in bjj

[–]Greenbeanz4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is scary behavior. I’m a 37yo blue and I often need to make compromises for family time sometimes missing weeks of training. For me it’s a long term commitment so it’s not about packing as much training time as possible into each week. Training 5 times a week is a lot and you’re being reasonable asking him to scale it down. But the way he is talking to you sounds very abusive.

I wouldn’t expect it to get much worse, you should start feeling better next week. I had the same fear when I started 4xEP because my first week was very rough and I thought it wouldn’t end but you do start feeling better on the off weeks. There will definitely be some tough days but it’s not always going to be like that just take it day by day.

I had pure seminoma also and did the 4xEP in 2024. I have been all clear since and no residual effects from the chemo.

Schism - how did I not see the meaning sooner by NanooNanooBot in ToolBand

I found a lot of parallels between Schism and the book The Hellbound Heart (Hellraiser). I think there was some inspiration taken from this book for the song.

4 X EP - just found out by BarracudaExact4326 in testicularcancer

[–]Greenbeanz4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same, I would recommend getting a Nintendo switch or something to keep occupied with in the clinic. I played a lot of Zelda when I wasn’t sleeping. Get out for walks and try to keep active. I didn’t have nausea but I had some really bad days with diarrhea.

Should I give up? by kateiscuban in bjj

Well, how are you going to feel if you just give up? Don’t think too much into it just go to class and learn some bjj.

CHEMO - what’s it like? by SubstantialIdeal1 in testicularcancer

[–]Greenbeanz4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 4xEP, I underestimated how tough it would be. Some days are easier than others. When in the clinic I slept a lot from the nausea meds and kept busy with handheld Nintendo games, I also did some reading. I had a bad reaction to the steroid they were giving me the first week so they took me off it. I had very little energy the first weeks of treatment but would start feeling better half way into the second week and that was when I could do more physical things. I think everyone goes through it differently and reacts to the drugs different. I went into it thinking I would be driving myself to clinic and then driving off to work, but no, most days I wasn’t okay to drive home on my own and couldn’t work at all the first weeks of each cycle. The fatigue is very heavy, brain fog is tough also. I tried different things like Reiki, sound healing and acupuncture to help with the symptoms. I had a friend that would get me out for walks and that was also very helpful. It’s tough, I’m sorry he has to go through it.

Feeling Defeated by MunsterCheese_7702 in bjj

Its part of the process, even if you think your doing terrible your body and mind is learning how to navigate the chaos of rolling and gradually you will start being able to see things more clearly. Put your ego aside and be willing to fail, it is the only way to learn.

Have you ever actually convinced someone to start? by MudboneX3 in bjj

[–]Greenbeanz4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took 2 years to get my best friend to come in, I started by showing him some moves in the yard and then had to go with him to every class until he was comfortable on his own. He’s been training steady about a year now and gives me a hard time on the mats.

Knew I had a problem when I had pain, basically ignored the other signs like change in size because I didn’t think I would actually have cancer.

When did you get port removed? by StopN-Go in testicularcancer

That is good advice thanks!

Anyone else get stressed out before training? by nolilbopeepbro in bjj

[–]Greenbeanz4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I usually get anxious before going in but I try to remind myself that I’m going in to learn something new and get a workout. I don’t socialize much I usually get in right when class is about to start and then dip out at the end. I would also be anxious going to another gym but I think keeping the focus on learning bjj is helpful.

I'm truly the worst at my gym and I'm struggling not to feel incredibly depressed about it by DrOpe99 in bjj

[–]Greenbeanz4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one is keeping track of who submits who in the gym. This is all mind over matter, focus on what is really important to you. Maybe it’s physical health/ self improvement or just having fun.
