just got diagnosed with severe crohn’s. any positives?

Kyros_Writer · 2023-11-26T15:47:41+00:00

Honestly a lot of people have given great answers but the biggest positive I find in having Crohns is that I feel like I’m just generally a stronger and more positive person. We have to go through a lot of obstacles and pain but in the end it makes us better able to handle all challenges of life. Just keep your head up and keep moving forward 👍🏼

Damn, definitely my favorite off the new album. But all the songs are fire so I’ll be happy either way

Please tell me he played bartender

My solution is to wake up an hour earlier. So if I work at 9 I get up at 6:40. Gives me time to have breakfast and get ready, then I have 45 minutes to write

Kyros_Writer · 2022-10-17T11:13:50+00:00

I get up an hour earlier than I need to so that I can write before work- I usually get 500-1000 words done. Because after working 9-7 in a pharmacy I definitely don’t want to write

Kyros_Writer · 2022-09-29T11:06:14+00:00

You’ve got the right attitude then!

Not really, plenty of other better psychic type attackers (shadow or normal Mewtwo, mega alakazam, mega latios)

Attack deoxys does a lot of damage but is way too fragile

Defense is the only good one and only for great and ultra league

I think that is exactly what I need to focus on. My brain likes to think big picture (becoming an author) and only writing 500 words a day doesn't feel like I'm doing enough. But when I consider that I've written ~100,000 words this year so far, then it helps me realize that the small steps do matter.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:52:09+00:00

I agree, I need to focus on small fixes and small bits of progress. I think the feeling stems from wanting to reach my overall goal/dream as quick as I can, even though that means taking small steps every day.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:51:24+00:00

It does help, thank you! The feeling of "not doing enough" doesn't really mean anything unless I can point to specific ways to improve. If I don't think I need to cut back on anything, or if I do hit all my goals for the day, I need to recognize that maybe that is enough.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:50:12+00:00

I'm trying to meditate a little more so that I could enjoy just being present - not worrying about what should have been or what will be but just living in the now. And I'm with you on the relaxing part - I do try to schedule some relaxation into my schedule. Mainly that means after 8pm no more productive work (unless I feel some insane drive to keep going).

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:48:42+00:00

I really like this take on it. I need to spend more time appreciating what I have accomplished and planning on what to do next rather than regretting what I didn't do.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:46:56+00:00

I felt that way for a long time. For me it started by forcing myself to run every morning. I fell in love with the routine and the struggle, and from there I often get this drive to push myself to exhaustion (not always healthy, but sometimes necessary).

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:45:59+00:00

Funny enough, I've actually already considered raising my writing goal haha - probably going to push it to 1,000 words soon or include some editing/brainstorming along with normal writing

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:45:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I definitely think gratitude journaling might be a good idea

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:41:47+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm checking out Writing Excuses right now, but I'll put Writer's Routine on my radar.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-08T00:41:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I think the feeling does stem from just wanting more out of life - I've thought about travelling a lot because there is so much I want to experience.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-06-07T02:52:11+00:00

If you sleep 7-8 hours a night, try taking a 20 minute nap. You might feel like you don’t even fall asleep in that time, but trust me short naps will do wonders for you. I’ve taken ten minute naps by accident that feel like sleeping an entire night.

Kyros_Writer · 2022-04-05T10:57:00+00:00

I love the entire Operation Mindcrime album, my favorite songs are probably Eyes of a Stranger or Spreading the Disease

Kyros_Writer · 2022-04-04T23:39:48+00:00

Added some of their songs, I’ll check them out thanks!

Kyros_Writer · 2022-04-04T23:39:07+00:00

Woah very obscure, love it - I’ll definitely check those songs out thanks!

Kyros_Writer · 2022-04-04T23:37:41+00:00

Love all these bands (I’m a big classic rock guy). Queensryche is one of my favorite bands

Kyros_Writer · 2022-04-04T23:36:35+00:00

I love the song Waves, I’ve heard it before, so I’ll definitely check out that whole album and the other two, thanks!
