About Daimeera
Hello there!
I'm a 21 year old female from Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm not as active on this site as I once was, but I will almost certainly reply to private questions sent to me.
Let's see, about me. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Clinical Depression, as well as some other related mental and physical illnesses. Despite this, I'm happier now than I can ever remember being.
I've been a vegan since August 2007. In other words, I do my best not to consume anything of animal origin, ranging from the obvious (meat), to the somewhat obvious (eggs and dairy), to the not-so-obvious (honey, wool, silk, and more). I love this life. I have so much more appreciation for everything and everyone around me, and I feel so at peace with myself and the world. I wake up everyday and know that I'm making a difference. It's been a huge turning point in my life.
I recently graduated from high school after an extra three years due to my illness. It was a long road, but it felt amazing to walk across that stage. An added bonus was having the 15th highest average (over my high school career) out of 258 students!
I intend to pursue a career in psychology, first obtaining my BA, and then attending graduate school in order to study for my PhD. It's a little daunting at times, but I know it will be worth it. I want to help people, plain and simple. I want to make a difference. I want to change the world. And I believe I can, if only in a small way.
I think that's me in a nutshell. I also enjoy writing, knitting, multiple other artistic endeavors (including drawing, photography, music, and more), web design, and many other things. So, feel free to drop me a message if you think there's something I can help with.
Psst, guess what? I, like everyone else, have my very own message board! You can visit it here.

for some reason, i woke up yesterday really really sore. Like my abs hurt, it hurt to laugh or cough. And my shoulders/arms are sore too.. i dont know why. I havent worked out for a while now... does anyone know why this happened? i'm woke up still sore today and when i tried stretching my abs really hurt. and i have practice later so i think it might hinder my performance. any advice?
Well there are a few reasons it might have happened.
You may have exercised more than usual yesterday without knowing it, or even changed your posture slightly. Those things might affect your muscles.
You might be getting the flu. Hopefully not, but the flu DOES tend to make a person sore beforehand (or at least it always has for me).
You might have been tense. If you're stressed out, you can unconsciously clench your muscles.
You might have slept in an awkward position. That can also be painful.
You didn't say what you have to practice, so there's a limit to how much I can help. Gentle stretching is definitely good. Doing a FEW crunches can also help, just enough to supple out.
I would suggest taking it as easy as possible for the rest of the day. Rest as much as you can. Maybe take a warm bath or shower.
Hope you feel better soon!
