Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Get more sleep, exercise on the regular and stop eating sugar.
I still don't get enough sleep, but I am at least getting more than I used to (~7hrs). I exercise regularly, but it isn't as rigorous as some. Just doing something helps heaps. Cutting out sugar evened out my energy swings a bunch. I also lost a chunk of weight quickly when I did so.
I am no healthologist, but doing the above (and maybe eating better if you are inclined) should get you to feeling better. Worth a shot, no?
Regularly healthy habits like mentioned here really help, but also drinking (alcohol). There are so many reasons why it can negatively impact your health and energy. If you’re drinking a lot, really take a moment to ask yourself if you can take a break to see if it is what was negatively impacting you. Try 3 months and see if you can see the difference. Either way, if so or not, try another 3, then another 3, and then keep going. Never look back.
Hey, good thoughts there. It hadn’t occurred to me to mention that because I really don’t drink much. Holidays and special events unless I’m the driver.
It is difficult to encapsulate the many other things that could make one tired. Internal (physical or psychological) issues and external (environment or diet). I just chose very basic suggestions to address and assumed those elements didn’t exist. An error on my part flexing towards simplicity, so thanks for saying something!
