Re: Tabaluga's

@ENKELI  I’ve had a hot shower, taken all my meds. Forgot to brush my teeth 🪥 rolls eyes. . . I’m back into bed.

 

Sugar cravings. Sauna is the only answer.

Sweat eliminates excess cortisol. Once you push past the panic response and get that those nice reward hormones and then the Human Growth Hormone kicks in after 20+ minutes.

The stress of heat activates:

  • Heat Shock Proteins
  • The sympathetic nervous system
  • And increases plasma volume

Which leads to a surge in:

  • Endorphins
  • Beta-endorphins
  • Dopamine
  • HGH

Retiisi, we have to build you a sauna. @PeppyPatti can you sew sauna hats? They have to be made of 100% wool felt. 

 

Meds are kicking in I got to go ni night.

 

Re: Tabaluga's

@Glisten I hope you have slept well and woken to a joyful Tuesday before you read this.

 

Yes, I need a sauna. I just checked the shire aquatic centre and the cheapest option is $56 a month just to use the sauna. I can't do that dang it. 

Another reason I need to see my GP and discuss DSP. My we*ght is starting to affect my depression. I've never been as heavy as I am now and I am beginning to lose hope that I will become a functioning member of society.

 

I'll have to have a yard sale to make room for sauna. Lol, maybe that will give me incentive.

Re: Tabaluga's

what about birch twitches to beat self with before jump in icy pond ? @Glisten @ENKELI 

I say a show on Estonia think , theres saunas everywhere.  like 4m illion peeps and a million saunas who knows  lol

 

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB @Glisten in Finland where the sauna originates, there are more saunas than cars.

The traditional way of enjoying the experience is to go into the sauna, then beat or whisk yourself with the birch twigs and go roll around in the snow or take a bracing plunge into icy cold water.

Re: Tabaluga's

@TAB am hoping your message about NDIS might also be directed at me Tabby. I am going to see my GP and find out what it takes to get onto DSP, because then I will be able to access NDIS I hope.
