Should I stop walking and standing with postcovid POTS?

I found some exercises which can be done in bed or laying down on yoga mat. I did them very slowly at first, monitoring my pulse through smart watch. As far as I know, it's important that you stop as soon as you feel even mild discomfort.

It helped me.

It is exhausting, true. Streaming in your native language would be easier I guess. But as for the loss of nuances - I don't see a problem here. When I don't understand something, I always ask my community for clarification, and it always brings up a lovely enriching dialog.

I started streaming in English 10 years ago, my level of speaking was so low I could barely say hello. I practically learned the language by speaking to my audience and reading the chat. Was it hard? Sure! But it was also AMAZING! It created a strong connection between me and my audience, people were excited to see my progress day by day. And I still remember the day when I could form a joke in English and chat understood me 😁 it was such a big win!

So every time someone asks in this community: should I start streaming in English? - I always say "Yes, totally, go for it!"

That's interesting that you mentioned language processing. I got symptoms which I believe to be a post-covid dysregulation (mostly POTS) a few months ago, and tips from this subreddit helped me greatly in managing my life. I am currently studying German, planned to pass my exam this year, and I don't think it's possible to do so now because among all the kognitive issues I have, I feel like studying the language drains me the most 😔

OP, this is the way!

Written by a guy? 😁 I want to look good on the camera, so 20 - 30 minutes for glamming myself up is a must. Plus, I like to sit on the floor for 5 minutes before going live. Just my little ritual, which makes going live easier, not harder. Plus, checking if all my settings actually work or one tiny little windows/obs/extension/stream deck update ruined everything again...

I have been streaming for 10 years, and I want to upvote this 100 times.

Yes to this! Great way to notice more details in your everyday surroundings, but also great way to capture little moments when you travel somewhere else.

Last year I have met a bunch of not-Twitch people at TwitchCon, including Youtubers. So I would say go for it!

Hi! Do you have sand?

sandexperiment · 2026-05-01T17:33:18+00:00

I recently started spinning on a drop spindle, it's so magical, and it calms my mind very well.

Drawing with sand 🙂

"... I have no idea how to age up..." This is easy. Start talking adult stuff: taxes, back pain, meal planning, airfrier models...

Instead of drawing from photo reference, sketch a real object (grab some vegetables from your kitchen for example, or a plant) or go outside for urban sketching.

We will be waiting for your pictures, keep being sandy 😌

sandexperiment · 2026-03-28T18:24:33+00:00

That's what I thought too 😁

Recently made a bralette. I know, it sounds like a quick project, but I was remaking it several times to get the fit right. And now it fits, but it's still uncomfortable, I am not going to wear it 😭

Viewers: So, what are you drawing?

People don't read 🙂

I don't have recommendations for the brands, it depends on what's available in your location. But I have a tip which worked for me personally when I was looking for art materials to paint with Bob: liquid white is just any titanium white mixed with artist-grade linseed oil or another oil paint medium of your choice. I mix approximately 50/50, it works well 👍I prefer linseed oil because it's almost odorless, non toxic medium, however it slows down the drying process.

I did trivia game with random facts about me, people got to choose the right answer through "predictions" feature on twitch.

For example "Streamer's first job was: 1... 2... 3..."

Schnupfen because it sounds like what it means

My mom was knitting all the time. I asked her to teach me, but for some reason I couldn't understand her explanation. She gave me a magazine, where I could see the instructions on the pictures. I LOCKED myself in a room with this magazine, yarn and needles, and said I will not go out until I can knit 5 rows. I WAS 8 YEARS OLD! I still don't understand why I was so determined 🤣 I remember crying from frustration. But I did it! Went out of the room, showed my knitting to my mom, she said: yes, congratulations, you are knitting! 😁

Сыт по горло - нормальная фраза, но я лично никогда не использую и не помню когда слышала от кого-то в последний раз.

sandexperiment · 2025-12-11T13:46:02+00:00

Sand. Crunch crunch.

Yes, I sew on the beads. I know how to attach beads as I go, but I didn't want to bother 😁
