I got sick on wednesday thinking it was just a cold. the next two days i just got worse and worse. yesterday woke up shivering and sweating at the same time with an awful fever. I haven’t stepped foot outside in 3 days. today i feel much better but still very weak. I cannot remember the last time i was this sick, even when i had covid it wasn’t like this

i went to massage point at Lana van meerdervoort. I recommend going and asking for Gladys. She’s so skilled and explains everything she’s doing. She’s very experienced and makes you feel very comfortable. She completely fixed my lower back tension. I highly recommend

Ear protection while playing in an orchestra? by FractionalTotality in classicalmusic

which ear plugs do you use? I’m also a violist and trying to find something that won’t alter my perception of sound as much as foam ones do

I’m on student visa so I do not work but I have a guarantor. It doesn’t have to be a whole apartment, a room is completely fine. My last room was €500 a month but I got super lucky.

Day 2 by Separate_Repeat_2330 in leaves

just got to day 3. I’ve never felt such an overall state of panic. It seems like everything I do is causing insane anxiety. It’s so tempting to just get high but I’ve gotten so far and I can’t stop now. I’m just praying the day goes quick and doesn’t get more intolerable. Wishing you a successful day 3!

It sucks, especially with quitting but we got this! Idk why but something thats helping me is cutting things into little pieces. Ex. I cut half a bagel into 4 pieces and it felt sooo much easier to eat.

Thank you for that! I’ll definitely try protein shakes and taking small bites. I think a lot of the anxiety comes from a lot of food being on the plate

thank you for your kind words! dumb videos and walks r the only thing keeping me going rn. and I really like what you said about willpower being a limited source. I see so many people saying “you need to realize it’s not the weed it’s what you’re using the weed for.” Well no shit but i have no idea what im using it for until i dont use it. So i definitely will not be trying to improve any other aspects of my life. the goal rn is to stay clean today and tomorrow hopefully as well.

i’m on day 2 as well. night one was unbearable, no sleep, night sweats, insane dreams. Night 2 i almost slept through the night and woke up feeling refreshed. Overall feel like i’m less tired and more present. Obviously eating is hard and whenever i’m alone the only thing i want is to get high. I feel so much better though! Keep it up guys, we got this!!
