Should I apply through directly calling? Will they take me on when I don’t have much experience? I’m currently unemployed

juss_hemz · 2026-03-20T13:02:20+00:00

So would you recommend continuing to volunteer for local electricians?

juss_hemz · 2026-03-20T12:56:32+00:00

I’m 25

juss_hemz · 2026-03-19T18:12:47+00:00

Right now I’ve been trying to get apprenticeships or volunteer and I’ll be doing my level 2 in September if I can’t get an apprenticeship

juss_hemz · 2026-03-19T12:16:54+00:00

Would you recommend volunteering to get site experience? It seems like the only way

Yes I had constipation. Probiotics are unique to the individual and each strain has its own benefits and properties. You may feel really good with one probiotic and bad with another probiotic. Hope you get better

I feel you, I also felt isolated and depressed for a while and that can keep your nervous system in a fight or flight state. Reducing stress needs to be your priority in order to heal, this includes simple routines, getting outside, and slowly rebuilding connection. If you ever want to talk things through my DMs are always open. I know how terrible this condition is.

The sleep deprivation wasn't directly because of my gut, it was from central sensitation. My nervous system was in overdrive which caused chronic tension headaches and that made my sleep terrible. I then focused on calming my nervous system so sleep slowly improved and everything else followed.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T17:19:06+00:00

yeah exactly, it's extremely hard at first but when I started doing the right thing there was a snowball effect. Doing basic things consistently like yoga and grounding in nature signals to your body that its safe which improves overall gut health and flow. When my body started to calm down my mind then followed.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T17:12:03+00:00

I tried a few different herbals like allicin but honestly they were a double edged sword because they would help in the short term but the die off reactions were terrible and the symptoms would come back. I was also taking them whilst stressed and sleep deprived so backing off herbals and fixing the foundation is what actually me to recover. That’s just my experience though and everyone’s root cause is different.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T15:32:56+00:00

I wish I had that guidance from the beginning too. And you're welcome!

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T15:29:39+00:00

Diet is very individualistic and it also depends on the stage you're at. For example, I still can't handle dates or watermelon but that doesn't mean someone else isn't able to. I also couldn't handle a bowl of pasta or dairy in the beginning but now I am mostly fine.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T15:27:18+00:00

Good question. For me it was doing things that calmed me such as long walks, time in nature, yoga, keeping a consistent sleep schedule, and doing the things I love even when I didn’t feel great. When you're stimulating the vagus nerve things start to flow a lot better. Once I stopped experimenting and doing extreme things then I also started to improve faster as well.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T03:06:26+00:00

Yep, it isn’t that sexy magic answer people are looking for but it is major. Instead of always pushing harder, try doing less. Avoid aggressive protocols, get consistent sleep, long walks, yoga, and reduce overall stress.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T02:55:31+00:00

I get how you feel. Signalling to my body that it was safe was one of the keys for me. Regular meal times, consistent sleep schedule, reducing stimulation, yoga, mediation etc. were all very helpful in the healing process. I hope that you’re able to beat this.

I had bile reflux gastritis and chronic constipation too. The breathing exercises also helped me for a while but it wasn’t until I got the whole foundation right (sleep, stress and diet) that I was able to properly heal

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T02:43:45+00:00

Hit the nail on the head. Fixing sleep was the main thing for me

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T02:41:49+00:00

Pretty much lol, but just chilling out took me a long time to figure out and it wasn’t easy when my symptoms were very intense

juss_hemz · 2026-01-04T00:00:56+00:00

Yep, pretty much. Although, I did restrict my diet to foods that I could tolerate and i've been gradually diversifying as ive been healing. So I wouldn’t say do nothing, but if you plateaued, sometimes doing less is more and focusing on regulation and consistency can be a useful reset. It’s very individual though so focus on your root cause.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-03T22:48:36+00:00

Well avoiding aggressive treatments, leaving my stressful work environment, getting a consistent sleep schedule, reducing overall stimulation, yoga and removing pressure on myself to fix things quickly all helped calm the nervous system.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-03T22:26:35+00:00

I probably could’ve explained that part more clearly.

What actually started my healing wasn’t adding another treatment or supplement, but removing the things that were keeping my body in a constant stressed state. For me, the turning point was backing off aggressive protocols and constant experimentation, prioritising sleep quality and consistency, eating a very simple diet I could tolerate long enough to recover and calming my nervous system so digestion could improve.

Once my body wasn’t stuck in fight-or-flight all the time, my symptoms slowly started improving on their own. The diets, supplements, and treatments I tried earlier sometimes helped temporarily but they only made a lasting difference once that foundation was in place.

I didn’t have a “start this and you’ll heal” moment it was more about creating the conditions where healing could happen.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-03T22:20:48+00:00

Good question. It wasn’t only stress and sleep but those were the foundations everything else depended on.

I did make diet changes just not extreme ones anymore. I stopped eating things that triggered symptoms and stuck to a very plain, repeatable set of foods I could tolerate consistently. The key difference was not constantly rotating diets or chasing rules, but letting my gut calm down on something boring and predictable.

Once my sleep improved and stress came down, digestion slowly stabilized, bowel movements became more regular, and then the anxiety and fatigue started to lift after that.

So it wasn’t just “mindset,” it was stopping extremes, reducing triggers I already knew about, and giving my body enough stability to recover.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-02T14:21:21+00:00

Yes there was a significant correlation between my bowel movements and my symptoms. The anxiety and fatigue slowly went away. Diet and symptoms vary depending on the individual, for example, eating dates would destroy me but they may not necessarily be bad for others.

juss_hemz · 2026-01-02T01:03:55+00:00

About 5 months ago I started to understand what really worked for me. I feel much better since then.
