I don’t know, I feel like it's jarring. Like it's so yellow it hurts, and the videos for some reason feel fake. I really can't explain it. In the old studio even if the games were shit I still enjoyed watching them, in this one for some reason I can’t enjoy the videos no matter how fun the game is. The other studios are fine, it's just the games channel studio that I can’t get used to for some reason. This is not a hate post, nor am I asking them to change it. I know a lot of people enjoy this new lighting and the studio. I just wanted to vent that's all.

I've had this problem for years now. I can't walk for long without needing to stop and rest. Every time, I feel this pressure building in my chest, and the only way to catch my breath is to bend forward or sit down. Just standing still doesn't help. I actually need to bend or sit to lessen the pressure.

If I try to push through and walk for even 10 minutes straight, my chest starts throbbing. It feels like my heart is right in the middle of my chest, pounding and heavy, and I'm forced to stop. But even after resting, I still can only walk a minute or two before needing to stop again. It's a constant cycle of walk, rest, walk, rest.

I've seen many doctors over the years. Thank God, all the major tests have come back fine. Most doctors attribute it to acid reflux issues, gastritis and a hiatal hernia, and I've been prescribed the usual medications. But they haven't really helped.

The worst period was during my second COVID infection in 2022. At that time, I couldn't even stand for long without feeling like I was going to suffocate. Things have improved since 2023, and I'm grateful for that. But the core problem is still here.

What makes it harder is that people don't understand. They see someone in their 20s needing to rest constantly while walking, and they don't get it. It's isolating. I feel like I'm trapped in a body that won't let me do the simplest things.

I'm not necessarily looking for medical advice, I've been down that road. I guess I just needed to vent and maybe hear from others who deal with something similar. It's been years of this, and sometimes you just need to let it out.
