You can do visualisation on both options. Sit in peaceful meditation and when you feel you are well relaxed, start visualising yourself taking the first option and going all the way through. Make it as vivid as possible. Then you do the same for the other. While many things cannot be foreseen you can already assess some challenges of your potential decisions. Make your visualisation realistic and look at everything. Where are you going to live? How much will you pay? What will you do? Where will you shop for groceries? What are you going to study? Visualise yourself in classes. As you do this observe any feelings and sensations associated with both journeys. Which ones seems to be calling you more? What does your intuition tell you? Alternatively, you can start backwards. Imagine yourself in the position you want to achieve and then start backtracing your step. I know this sounds a bit woo woo but I've done something similar in the past when making some decisions and it has helped me muster confidence I needed to make these decisions.

Every act is an act of love or a desperate call for love.

It can absolutely be done right and if you took 100 vegans from the streets and 100 omnivores, vegans would probably be several times healthier on average as most people suffer from basic deficiencies such as vitamin C, folate, most B-vitamins, zinc, magnesium and many other. That being said, there are few potential deficiencies especially zinc, calcium, retinol (active vitamin A), sometimes selenium and often full spectrum of essential amino acids. If you track your nutrition, balance it well and add few necessary supplements (B12, D and DHA) you can be perfectly healthy. It is also important to manage stress and excessive exercise. Because vegan diet is devoid of cholesterol, all the endogenous production of steroid hormones is reliant on liver production. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone is made of cholesterol and so is testosterone and oestrogen. If you get excessively stressed, your cortisol pathway will start "stealing" building blocks for your sex hormones production and you may end up with low libido, hair loss etc.. So it is important to keep an eye on that

2.5 hour session will deplete a lot of nutrients, create a cocktail of free radicals and probably a lot of microdamage to the muscle so a nutrient-rich post-workout meal is a must. Mix up a lot of antioxidant-rich fruits, some greens for chlorophyll and B-vitamins, seeds, nuts and probably some vegan protein powder to aid recovery. Foam rolling before and after can be helpful as well. And I know you didn't ask but 2.5 hours might be a little bit too long for workout, your cortisol will be very elevated for quite some time due to all the gluconeogenesis happening after you burn through your sugar stores. Just 2c

It is a bit too pricy imo and you could create similar blend by chugging a lot of ingredients into blender although this is for sure easier. Better than other green blends I've seen but there are still powdered supplements (B12, B1 etc), in there so you won't be getting away from those. They are boasting with super high ORAC score but there is only so much antioxidants the body can utilise before they start turning into pro-oxidants. If you can spare the cash go for it but I think nothing beats a home made smoothie from bunch of greens, fruits, seeds nuts and a scope of some organically cultivated protein powder if you need to add one

There you go. I believe that not everyone is meant to climb the spiral and that for many people it is just way too late or they are way too far out there. In the end we all need to shape our own path. You will know when the person is open to move up and they will gladly accept your advice, most of the other cases are waste of time and energy as cruel as it sounds.

in my case its also fear of obesity and fear of disease ....but guess you could say they are both somehow linked to death.

Nutrition will only get you so far when on potent psychotropic pharmaceuticals that alter your brain chemistry. On the other hand, Schizophrenia is hard to manage without drugs and any modifications to dosing have to be consulted with your doctor. It may be worth working with a nutritionist or a naturopath to help you. Also, it is essential to make sure that any supplement you self-administer are approved by your doctor and checked for interactions. When looking at diet, the considerations are usually to balance blood sugar, to prevent episodes of hyper or hypoglycaemia, to reduce systemic inflammation, to support the gut integrity and to rebalance neurotransmitter balance as excessive dopamine may trigger an episode. As such below are few tips that can help but for a more specific plan, you'd need to work with a qualified practitioner. Few essential tips you may find helpful: If you are a smoker, it would be a good idea to cut it down as tobacco was found to worsen schizophrenia episodes and symptoms. In terms of diet, some evidence shows that ketogenic diet can be helpful. It is however important that it is the right one so working with a practitioner would be a good idea. Cutting down on animal protein in favour of plant protein can be helpful as this reduces polyamines (a side-product of animal protein digestion) spermine and spermidine that is associated with increased dopamine (more frequent episodes). Animal protein is also rich in methionine that may increase the release of pro-inflammatory compounds Avoidance of stimulants such as caffeine, stimulating herbs, redbuls and recreational drugs is a must. You don't want to stimulate your brain as this can trigger psychosis or other episodes. Avoiding sources of fried and barbecued meats can help. These produce something called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that are toxic to the human brain and can make your episodes worse Cutting down on any sources of added sugar can help to improve insulin sensitivity of brain cells. This includes any sweets, crackers biscuits, fizzy drinks, sweetened pastries. The fruit is good and should not be avoided. Your diet needs to be predominantly based on wholefood plant-based sources. If you eat animal foods, pick things like oily fish and occasional eggs. I'd reduce dairy and general meat to a minimum. Increasing fruit and vegetable intake to decrease inflammation and improving brain sugar balance. You can try experimenting with reducing gluten, even cutting it out. In some people, gluten temporarily (up to 48 hours) separates tight junctions of the intestinal lining and this may cause an influx of larger protein molecules that wouldn't have otherwise passed through. This will provoke an immune response and potentially raise your systemic inflammation markers. Any systemic inflammation may increase the frequency of your episodes. Any known food allergies need to be addressed as this food may make the condition worse. It might be a good idea to get general intolerance testing for the most common trigger foods such as dairy, eggs, soy etc. Foods rich in quercetin can help control markers of inflammation Physical activity can help balance your neurotransmitters and improve insulin sensitivity.

I think it is always a good idea when learning about health the implement some good old anatomy and physiology of the human body. Helps to understand how nutrition impacts the health when you can pinpoint it to individual systems. I see that a lot of people who make big claims about health hardly understand the physiology of the human body. But that's just a personal opinion

Was there something you took physically? What was causing the pain in the first place?

I agree that it is a factor. Countries with the highest consumption of dairy have the highest ratio of bone loss. At the same time I think there is way more than dairy in Osteoporosis. There is sedentary lifestyle lack of sunshine, digestive impairment, acidic diet, chronic inflammation and unhealthy microbiota. Oestrogen in women is very important for bone maintenance and post-menopausal women have a drastically increased risk for bone loss and same for men with lower testosterone. In my opinion coffee is also has a correlation, the more the worse. Chemicals and heavy metals being stored in bone tissue may also be doing a damage.

Exercise and mechanical stress on bones are probably more important for bones loss prevention than calcium. This is a frequently missed element. Osteoporosis patients are prescribed gigantic doses of calcium and vitamin D and nobody points out their lack of mobility. Put frequent mechanical pressure on your bones through exercise, weight lifting, mobility exercises and manual work and your bones will be good for life Also having some additional muscle mass will protect your bones.

if that was true, most of the western population would be enlightened as f

Corbyn is a clown but Johnson's materialistic ruthless vision for the UK will bring country 100 years back to times of industrial revolution. I'd rather have someone who is harmful than someone who can do some real damage like his "charming" counterpart in the US. In a globally connected world you CAN NOT isolate yourself. Don't forget that British owe it to their exploitation of the entire world hundred years ago for their wealth and economic boom. This is slowing down and under Johnson the country is going to suffer. As an foreign immigrant, I feel sorry for the people and their families who will be forced to live under this idiot's dominion if he gets in. Materialism and sole focus on GDP is destroying this planet. We need less of both and not more

Just out of interest, is it Hashimoto's or just hypothyroidism? If regular, there is actually a lot you can do guided by good nutritionist to potentially move away from medication unless there is radiation damage or any genetic weakness.

Lots of really good plant based sources: tofu,tempeh, natto, sesame seeds, bok choy, amaranth, okra, almonds. You need around 700-1000mg/day but your body can regulate this easily even if you don't as long as parathyroid and thyroid are working optimally and gut is clean. + good vitamin D levels are crucial for calcium metabolism as well. Also coffee may block absorption of it so best to separate it from large meals.

lol, you've just downgraded her entire existence to a walking vagina, what did you expect

John Brandshaw - Healing The Shame That Binds You

I would take advantage of the fact that your family is well provided for and that you don't have to work some sort of shitjob but can rather dedicate more time to finding something more meaningful. Internships are good entry points. This means working for free for a respected company where you will most likely provide some sort of administrative service but you will: 1. Gain the CV entry which you need 2. get potential opportunity to be hired by them later (happened to me in my first company) and 3.obtain good contacts that may come in handy. You can start volunteering anytime. Lot of employers have great respect for people who do volunteering. Perhaps there are ways you can do some beneficial volunteering work on weekends such as helping out with three plantings, working in community gardens or so. You can also move abroad for a while and work with endangered animals although this would prevent you from having another job. Borneo's Sepilok Orangutan sanctuary for example does a lot of volunteering, been to the place myself and saw many volunteers running around. There are elephant parks in Thailand such as in Chiang Mai who do that as well and lots of other animal sanctuaries in South-East Asia. You can also find places that help to re-grow deforested areas etc. I know this doesn't resolve your dilemma but it is you who needs to strike this balance. You say you are young so you probably have 65+ years ahead of you if you take care of your health. Don't see every task as "means to an end" but see it as a new fascinating experience and a chance to learn. If you think that you want to go to Malaisia and work with endangered animals for 6 months than go do that and don't look back, no regrets. Have a time of your life, learn as much as you can and gather as many contacts as you can. If you think that you need an actual job first, go get an internship and spend 3 years building up a career while doing occasional weekend volunteering for local community, then take a break and go do some volunteering in Asia. Whatever you decide to do is fine as long as it makes you fulfilled

I don't think you should go for veganism before you can fix the digestive part. You'll be cutting out a lot of sources and can result in deficiencies down the line. Getting bloated all the time is often indication of insufficient stomach acid, SIBO/IBS , gut dysbiosis or increased gut permeability but without testing it would be impossible to tell.

Road Less Travelled by Scott Peck has a chapter on Love that I found transforming to the way I perceive romantic relationships. The book is definitely worth reading and it talks a lot about relationships, family, honesty, integrity and truth. Most of these values are critical for a functional relationship so I'd definitely recommend reading it.

just observe her reactions. Some girls will allow more than others. However if she enjoys being called bitch and a lot of "punishment" you may be opening a pandora box to potential childhood issues and that's something to be on a lookout for, but innocent slaps on the bum every now and then should be turned on to most girls

Hard to say...possibly. Our bodies have mechanisms for coping with both. Lactate gets shunned back into liver eventually and soreness is the healing mechanism for the micro-damage in muscle tissue that has been put under stress.

Any inversion exercises will stimulate the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (calmness & relaxation) so in that sense, it can be helpful to reduce your heart rate and relax the muscles. If you are able, headstands against the wall will be better than just leaning legs but anything should do the trick Bridges are great as well.

Good luck! The best approach is probably cold turkey, sell your console and all the games you own. If you have a PC, replace it for one without graphic cards and with poorer performance. I think even that doesn't fix it the addiction thou.I've quit many times and always came back it has been my biggest addiction since the times I got my ps1 15 years ago. P.S. society frowns a lot upon gaming yet it is completely acceptable to spend hundreds of hours watching garbage like Friends on Netflix. This may be an addict defencing his addiction but many of the games can enrich your life and creativity a lot. As long as you don't just play call of duty 8 hours a day.
