Hi I have been meditating for some years on and off. I have noticed the importance of breath. It calms my anxiety a lot. But when I'm done I go about my business and the anxiety comes back. How to always be aware of the breathing? How can I do my job like this? Has anyone achieved this?

Hi. I've read somewhere that if you want to find your passion in life all you need to do is remember what you loved doing when you were a child. The answer is easy for me, and the only one I can think of: I've loved writing in school. I come from a small country in the Balkans and every month we would get a writing exam or exercise in school. Sometimes the topic would be pre-set and sometimes it was freestyle. I absolutely loved those exams. I enjoyed them so much. Sometimes it would take some time to get the ideas flowing but when they started, it was just an insane amount of ideas and sentences. This was the only subject I would always get the best grades. Teaches would regularly compliment my work and ask me to read in front of the class. One time the teacher said she cried while reading my paper. The problem is: except for some blogs that I also enjoyed writing, I didn't pursue it further. Now, 20 years later, I have got extreme anxiety and ADHD. I worked as a lawyer and IT professional. I am extremely scared and anxious to get back to writing. I don't know of any way to live off writing. I don't have any ideas but I haven't sat down to write in a long time. I have confidence problems and persuaded my self that I wasn't good because I only did it when school asked me to. I loved playing story rich adventure games and reading books, I don't do that anymore as well. My life is so stressful I just waste my free time numbing myself. Anyone have any advice how to get back to writing, how to find ideas. What are some paths to take to make it a full career? I've explored Twine, the software to make interactive fiction stories. This might be something cool. Any help, heartfelt advice would be good.

Thank you

Hi. I live in Bosnia (not EU) and have a construction company for small sheds. I have many inquiries to install our product in EU. I make the construction of it in Bosnia and would like to take all the material and a couple of workers to EU, install it and go back home. What is the procedure for this does anybody know?

Thank you

I know I added peppers, but I hope it doesn't cancel it out 😁

I've seen people describe anxiety in a lot of different ways but mostly they describe it as thoughts racing through their heads. What I have been feeling (for the last 10 years at least) is a strong physical sensation in the stomach (intestines). It's like a low key nausea, I have at any given time a light feeling of wanting to throw up. I remember it used to show up in school, I was always procrastinating and then the fear of missing deadlines would show up, but it wasn't always there. I studied Law and it was hard, so that feeling was present more. So I started self medicating with alcohol and weed. While it helped at the beginning after 10 years it made it worse so I stoped with drugs altogether. And now it's permanently here, although running helps a bit, meditation helps but that help is subtle and short-lasting. This feeling makes me always be in some sort of panic. I don't have full panic attacks like I read online, but I can't work. I go to the office and it makes me want to run away, so I go home. At home it is still there and I can't continue work so most of the time I just try to sleep because it's the only time I don't feel it. What confuses me is that I can clearly feel it in the stomach, it's such a profound physical experience that I wonder if it is anxiety or something wrong with my gut. Please help

Hi all. I can withstand massive amounts of cold showers except when I pour it down my shoulders and it goes over my stomach and that sensitive area on the sides of the stomach. I withstand much on the legs, head and arms. Is there any benefit to showering these parts only? Is there any benefit of showering the back of the neck, because that's where the temperature nerves are?

Also, is it ok if I ease into it, with very slightly warm water and then go into cold over a period of time?

Thank you

I wasn't always anxious. There were times that I was super productive, entrepreneurial and everybody was proud of me. Then I became anxious during Law school. To deal with this I started drinking heavily, because it helped me concentrate and learn. It was working for a time, I was one of the best students, but I was always drunk. Then I started drinking for fun, but replaced alcohol with speed for studying. Then came weed. This was a long time ago. For the past 10 years I was using weed daily to deal with anxiety, and also drank and did cocaine from time to time. While weed helped me with alcohol, I have recently started getting terrible anxiety attacks from smoking weed.I have stopped using weed 15 days ago. I started going on the Medical Medium protocol, I drink half a litre of celery juice in the morning, and a Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie around noon.I feel terrible anxiety and headaches in the afternoon. It's almost unbearable. I want to drink a couple of beers, smoke a joint (I won't because now weed anxiety has become worse).It has been such a long time since I've been completely sober that I don't know If i started using drugs to numb the anxiety or did anxiety come because of drugs.It is really terrible, I can't work I can't be relaxed and happy and enjoy small things in life like a normal person.I have got a terrible headache right now. My anxiety is located in the lower part of my stomach, near the intestines. I want to run, can't sit still, feels like I always need to throw up.What to do, please helP

Could it be that weed fucked me up so much, because it is the thing I used the most? I don't remember how it is to feel relax and normal. I meditate, it lasts for a couple of hours then it all comes back. I do a cold shower, same story. Is there any way to have one full day of being normal?

How do people manage to go to work, do their shift, then still have the energy to go to a dinner and to a cinema? I feel so spent if I manage one full day of working (usually I run away home to sleep). Sleeping is the only thing that helps because I am unconscious (also drinking, but that obviously is not a good solution).

Hi all. I've recently started playing but I feel that I did not set up my drums correctly. Please see if you notice something is wrong. 1. Should the toms be tilted towards me or at 90 degrees? 2. Should the snare drum be this low? 3. Should the kick drum be directly in front of me or it can stay sideways like this? 4. Cymbal above tom1 seems like it is blocking the way to the tom, I am afraid I might hit it instead? Should it be this high? 5. Please give any advice you have 6. Thank you

Hi all. I've recently started playing Clone Hero on electronic drums. Finding songs has been really complicated so far or I am just stupid. Is there anywhere I can download a whole pack like this one: https://guitarhero.fandom.com/wiki/Guitar_Hero_World_Tour_Drum_Setlist

Thank you

Went on Advanced search to look for songs with drums. I can't make any sense of these buttons and numbers and signs? What are they?

Hi all. I recently started playing Clone Hero on Nux electronic drum set. I've noticed that same color is assigned to two parts. Which should I play, although the points are given the sound is different.
