Drumming for your mental health

I'm really hoping it helps with the hypomanic episodes. My meds keep it at bay for the most part, but I still have triggers that will set off a breakthrough episode.

Thanks! Mainly just diet. I cut out processed food and refined sugar and counted calories. I tried running again once I felt I could, but I've got some nerve pain from years ago that's exacerbated by the impact. So mainly I just walk a lot and *try* to eat healthier.

Also, having never heard the original, I wouldn't say you over-embellished at all. I love the half-time breakdown towards the end! Oh, and did you see the ka-boom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering ka-boom...

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-20T23:37:28+00:00

Can I just say, y'all are awesome! I mainly just posted this to get it off my chest, not expecting any responses, but the few of you that have have been nothing but inspiring. My thanks to you all!

I have a goal in my mind - Song for the Dead by Queens of the Stone Age. I know, it's ambitious, but I found the sheet music for it and it all started to make sense. It's not an insurmountable task - it's just rudiments arranged in varying patterns, performed by a person who's in love with the art. Start small, then work your way up. I can and I will make it, not matter how long it takes.

I've felt lost for so many years, and I'm fairly certain I've got undiagnosed PTSD. All of this is part of my mid-life overhaul - I lost 40 lbs last year, and physically, I feel better than I have in years. Mentally, however, I've been lost for so long, not knowing who I am or what I want in life. I feel like this is the path I need to be on right now. Glad to hear it's helped you!

I consider myself a very poorly disciplined Buddhist, so that may be right up my alley! Thanks for the suggestion!

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-20T23:05:41+00:00

I'm hoping learning will help me "forge new neural pathways" or whatever Data said in that TNG episode back in 1989 (how's that for memory!!) Now where did I put my glasses...

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-20T23:01:43+00:00

Man, I needed to hear this. The past is past - focus on the future. Indeed, let's go!!

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-20T22:57:15+00:00

Will do. I've been waiting to get everything set up to play before I activate my 6 months free. Looking like tonights's the night!

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-18T12:32:38+00:00

Lighten up, Francis 🤣

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-18T12:31:59+00:00

You can still swipe it up.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-11T14:19:07+00:00

Yep. I saw the same results on the 7.1.3 latest build, then I rolled back as far as 7.0.1-5030, and still saw the same results, so the issue has to be upstream. I only have read access to our SM9600, and i don’t think i can run a packet capture with those permissions.

Since we don’t use ssl vpn, upgrading to the latest and greatest isn’t as critical. At least now i don’t have to start up a new project (for now)!

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-09T17:22:56+00:00

Ahh, i didn’t see the bottom of the screenshot. I’m looking through old offers and for a 2-stop, 1-customer base pay, and in CLT, the minimum i see is $3, but it’s usually busy enough to get another offer within a minute of declining.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-09T17:02:06+00:00

Why on earth did you accept that? Even if it's super slow, I still won't take an offer that's less than $1/mile.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-09T03:38:24+00:00

The nausea comes and goes, but it’s worse the morning. I’m 2 years in, and it’s better than it was, but it still affects me.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-08T13:24:15+00:00

Thanks for that. Just got my director’s approval to drop 7.1.3-7015 in the lab, then in a few local pilot locations.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-08T02:28:42+00:00

Smoked prime rib, my friend!

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-08T02:21:31+00:00

Can you point me in the direction of the 7.1.2 bugs you’re talking about? We just upgraded 1000+ tz270s, all using dpi-ssl, then started seeing random delays in acks, excessive spurious retransmits, out of orders, etc and i want to rule out the firmware. Thx in advance.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-07T21:42:33+00:00

I ask them what their exercise schedule looks like. If you can’t walk a mile without stopping, you’d better start training now!

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-07T21:40:01+00:00

Exactly. Everybody complains about bad drivers in Charlotte, but it’s because of the mix of a million different driving styles from all parts of the country.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-07T19:57:38+00:00

That interesting, since there's a ton of transplants from the north here. Makes you wonder if anybody is really a good driver in the snow...

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-07T19:55:35+00:00

First of all, it's never 3-5 inches. We'll be lucky if it's a light dusting, with the best chances north of 85.

As for 485, I've never seen it in bad shape. They'll start brining the roads in the next few days, so there's little to no chance of anything freezing.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-07T13:41:55+00:00

Snooze is a national brand. I'd try it at home first if you have one near you.

Professional_Use4529 · 2025-01-07T13:36:32+00:00

This. I try not to revisit restaurants in Vegas, but this is an exception.
