Hey Guest,
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I am still trying to figure that out. pulled this up to start some research today: https://www. mindbodygreen.com /articles/caffeine-alternatives-for-healthy-natural-energy. otherwise I live by chamomille tea, sleep hygiene like no screens for 30 min before, keeping sleep area and awake area SEPARATE, "lullabies," if I can't sleep for more that 3 hours get up and walk around and drink hot water, and keeping your eyes closed even if you don't sleep does give your brain a modicum of rest. tried a few sleep aids, considering botox to help with the muscle tension and headaches from bruxism. but I'm so tired of always feeling like I'm moving through honey and my brain feeling so smothered

Have you tried medication from your psychiatrist yet? There are several sleeping pills which supposedly do no cause addiction. It does not work perfect every night, and one still has to care about sleep hygiene. But at least they help me with falling asleep after taking them.

-A consistent schedule
-Medication intervention if needed (to sleep)
-make sure you aren't deficient in any vitamins, specifically vitamin D! Try magnesium supplements at night and vitamin D in the AM
-your chronic fatigue could be caused by the lack of consistent sleep so focus on the sleep part first.
-be active throughout your day. If you have a desk job or sit inside a lot, take frequent breaks to walk around and step outside for fresh air
-if it's possible go outside every morning before 9am for at least 10 mins with no sunglasses or shades. The suns rays are the strongest before 9am and you absorb the most vitamin d through your retinas.
-unplug before bed time. At least an hour before bedtime get off your phone, computer and tv. No screens.
- try yoga or meditation?
-make sure you are drinking enough water. This is probably one of the most important things you can do.
This is kind of an off the wall thing but I read about it once and started doing it and it was extremely helpful (I am an accountant and work at a desk all day) every time you go to the bathroom do 10 squats. lol idk why it helps- I guess by engaging your muscles and your legs have big ones
