hey everyone, hope you're all doing well. bit of an odd one to post but genuinely can't figure this out and this community might have some experience.

noticed a consistent pattern after I masturbate I feel okay for a bit, but the next day or two I feel drained, weak, and get this random chest pounding out of nowhere. not during any activity, just randomly. heavy unwell feeling that doesn't shift.

then once I do it again it kind of resets.

for context I'm 32, slightly elevated BP, currently getting a full blood workup done — cortisol, thyroid, hormones, liver. so not ignoring it medically.

but this specific pattern is something I noticed myself. hormone crash? nervous system? dopamine?

anyone been through something similar and figured out what it was? would really appreciate it 🙏

Hello Capricorns which are your favourite music instruments . Which you enjoyed learning and practicing.

Hey everyone,

I recently started working in Germany as an NDT (ZfP) Level 2 inspector in a manufacturing company. I got this job through a manpower agency, not directly with the company.

I’m 33 years old (male), and this is basically my first professional job in Germany.

My German is officially B2, but in reality I feel more like B1 when speaking. I understand a decent amount, but communication at work is still a bit challenging.

Before coming to Germany, I have around 5 years of experience in piping construction and quality (oil & gas projects in the Middle East).

Now I’ve received another offer from a small, family-owned company working on underground fiber optic (Glasfaser) projects (cable laying to houses).

They are okay with my current German level and are willing to hire and train me for the project, including documentation. They seemed quite positive about my previous experience and are ready to support me in learning their system.

The company is not very big, but they handle medium-term projects (around 1–2 years), and they want me specifically for one of these projects.

So now I’m a bit confused about my direction:

Stay in NDT/quality and build a technical career in Germany

Or switch to construction (Glasfaser), where I get hands-on project experience and training, but it’s a slightly different path

Since this is an important early step in my career here, I don’t want to make the wrong decision.

From a long-term perspective in Germany:

Is it better to stay in quality/NDT and specialize further?

Or is switching to construction (like Glasfaser projects) also a good career path?

Would really appreciate honest advice or experiences from people in similar situations.

Thanks a lot! 🙏
