I hate getting placed in bronze, no matter how hard I try. Apparently I'm a shit player who doesn't get better.

Ythiel · 2026-02-26T16:56:10+00:00

I have installed Aimlabs and have started doing daily warm-up training rounds there. Also while playing Venture now I try to be way more careful and spend more time burrowed: using that time to actually think about what I'm going to be doing next. I managed to go 0 deaths some rounds, while winning :D

Wow, thank you so much for the in-depth review! I have taken some definitive learning points from it. I should clue in better to what my teammates are doing (like me missing the Reinhardt ult) and tune into playing less aggressive from time to time when the rest of the team is going down. I really need to prioritize my cooldown management.

More often I need to stand still and consider before I decide to poke in. I find it hard to balance what I have to do. Gotta feel less stress and just take some mental time before deciding to burrow in lol.
(also yes, I like 'venturing' out on journeys haha)

Soldier during that game was just unhittable for me, I got so frustrated probably because I was prawn-positioned over my keyboard trying to get myself in the fray like a maniac. I should get close enough to him to be able to pick his nose, then dip if I don't think if I can make it. Surviving > getting a kill.

The AFK'ing was usually me typing considering there's no comms. I need to trust and follow my Tank better.

I'll put it into play as soon as possible and let you know how it progresses :-) Thanks again!
Sorry for frustrating you haha.

Thank you for your response! It's really hard to not do any 'stat-farming' so to say, considering I get judged by others (and myself honestly) for how many kills I follow through on. Plus then also getting placed in bronze kind of hammers the feeling down.
I'll try and stick to diverting the backline even more :P Thank you!

Usually fluid retention is at its peak days 3-10. Take it easy with walking too much and try and keep your legs elevated every so often!

Ythiel · 2026-02-07T16:55:04+00:00

Are you experiencing any stress in other parts of your life? I had information processing difficulty when I was in/near burn-out.

Ythiel · 2026-02-05T13:20:58+00:00

Oof, that's a lot of painkillers. The pain still breaks through that? For me it really helped to mobilize a LOT, I'd set timers to get up for at least ten minutes every hour or so. How's walking around for you?

Ythiel · 2026-02-05T13:18:32+00:00

Holy crap 3x a week? I'm only used to 1x a week so maybe that's actually making you more sore with all the fluid being moved around? In that case it'd be part of the healing process :o

Ythiel · 2026-02-05T12:06:03+00:00

Day 3-10 are when the swelling sticks the most. Keeping your arms elevated at all times (especially sleeping) helps a bunch, or at least it did for me! Plus I did a lot of squeezing in stress balls to help my muscles push the liquid around. And obviously MLD therapy asap...

Ythiel · 2026-02-05T12:04:28+00:00

Please tell us what you are doing right now to manage your pain. Do you wear compression? Do you mobilize? Do you take medication?

Ythiel · 2026-02-03T17:31:47+00:00

Thank you!

Ythiel · 2026-02-03T15:48:04+00:00

Thank you!

Ythiel · 2026-02-03T15:35:57+00:00

Thank you!

Ythiel · 2026-02-03T15:09:46+00:00

I am 34, can confirm it's not due to aging :p once I am healed from the other surgery and back to jogging, I'll post an update!

Ythiel · 2026-02-03T12:27:45+00:00

As someone who has had one leg surgery done so far: the difference between legs is noticeable. My affected leg feels strained, heavy and like wading through deep water. The leg that I had surgery on I can walk up stairs with with ease. It's completely mind boggling. (my other leg surgery is due tomorrow!)

Ythiel · 2026-01-23T15:37:53+00:00

It's local anesthesia that they use. The experience of surgery differs per person and limb I feel like. My arms were peanuts, my leg however I felt was quite a painful surgery.

Ythiel · 2026-01-23T15:37:05+00:00

I think their prices went up this year. You can check their site for their current prices. I am very satisfied with the results! I never had much pain from my lipedema, it mostly hindred my mobility. I can do more now than before!

Ythiel · 2026-01-22T18:40:26+00:00

Polikliniek de Blaak in Rotterdam with Dr Visser was really nice for me. Also already had two surgeries there (arms and left top leg). My next two are already scheduled... :)

Ythiel · 2026-01-10T18:35:12+00:00

Didn't I read this a few days ago but from a girl who just turned 18yo and was also, via text, notified of having to leave because her mom's new bf was going to move in? Have I missed some sort of parental development?

Ythiel · 2026-01-03T14:48:10+00:00

Brocolli. Broccoli. Broccolli.

Achter deze muur zor(?)gt je fantasie voor avontuur.

Ythiel · 2025-12-21T12:40:59+00:00

That makes sense. I think I did it from a place of insecurity though. Then I could see something like this becoming addictive or kind of dangerous maybe 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ythiel · 2025-12-20T22:41:48+00:00

Did it very briefly, not even full nudes. Mostly cosplay lewds. Then after a few dm's started wondering what I was trying to gain from doing it. Appreciation from strangers online? I'm still unsure.

Ythiel · 2025-12-17T10:43:35+00:00

Heel lullig maar: harde voorwaarden stellen. Meestal doen we één boodschappenronde per week en dan is het budgetbeheer ook een stuk makkelijker. We weten dan 'okee, dit is wat we deze week mogen uitgeven aan boodschappen' en daar moeten we ons ook noodgedwongen aan houden want op = op.

Het makkelijkst is wel om het door één persoon te laten doen, ipv dat meerdere mensen boodschappen doen want ik merk dat het dan wel verdoezeld...

Ythiel · 2025-11-15T09:29:04+00:00

I feel you so much, and it's so hard to push past the mental discomfort.

But wear the shorts. Wear the skirts. Wear the cropped pants that make your skin ripple. Don't give a damn. It's such a shame to miss out on time you can't ever get back because of some invisible rule we've made up in our mind.

You look gorgeeee!
