The winter time is the worst. There is almost no sun here, only dark Grey skies. I'm treating myself daily with artificial light in my office room. I bought a 5xE27 photography stand and I've put strong light bulbs with high CR rate and a lot of lumens. They have different warmth so they cover the entire light spectrum. This lamp is pointing to the ceiling giving the light a nice spread.
Additionally, I have two e27 light bulbs behind my monitor screen, one monitor light pointing at the desk.
Finally, two plant light bulbs that are giving the energy to my Monstera and other plants. It helps only a bit, but we have to try whatever works :)
I've always wanted to play the guitar but instead I was practicing on Djembe and Drumla. I think that since I'm living in a flat right now, a guitar with headphones would be perfect. Thank you for this suggestion
Thank you for your kind words. I'm very positively surprised by the friendship here after migrating from Reddit. Do you also have an IBD sickness?
Managing stress
Hi fellow bowel fighters!
Stress is a crucial factor to managing the deasese. I'm sick on CU for 9 years and I didn't yet found good, fast and easy methods to lower the stress levels. I'm not looking for substances as I get easily addicted.
When I can, I'm exercising with bands and riding a bicycle but during flare it's not possible. Playing computer games helps a bit.
What are your ways of cooling down and resting from problems?
9 years of CU and I can't even imagine living like this for the next 9. This sickness is a bitch. Thank you for asking.
Ah, USA... The land of the free XD
