Exercise inducing herx

Hello, I'm 22m with Bartonella and babesia. I haven't posted in about a year or two due to feeling a lot better. I probably feel 75-80% better on a daily basis with my main remaining symptoms being psychological. Now that I'm feeling better I want to pursue a career in law enforcement, which I didn't get to do due to my initial diagnosis in 2023. However, whenever I exercise my head feels heavy and neck feels strained and I just feel off. I obviously need to exercise to get into shape for this career. What does this symptom mean? Am I not ready?

How to get out of a cheap dopamine loop and build discipline

22m, im an extremely insecure guy and have adhd. For the last few years I've been stuck in a loop of cheap dopamine hits (porn, junk food, social media, etc). Porn is the worst, been struggling since I was young after getting introduced at a young age sparking hyper sexuality. I consume almost daily. I don't even enjoy it anymore, I just use it to cope. I hate myself and feel hopeless. How do I come out of this situation? I want to actually love myself but my mental health is deteriorating. I have a gf but I ruin every relationship with my insecure attachment styles.

Filled with shame. Please help

I would appreciate if anyone could take the time to read this and help me. I'm 22 years old and been struggling with porn and lust since I was probably 10. I got introduced by a family member and since then it's felt like I'm not in control. Tonight is my breaking point. I have a beautiful girlfriend and I'm struggling so hard with this addiction. It's caused me to do a lot of things outside my morals (nothing illegal). But just so much extremely embarrassing things. I understand it more when I was younger and going through puberty but I've still done nasty things as a grown man. I hate myself. Nothing but shame and insecurity and I just want to have a normal life. I was introduced to the lord when I was young, probably around 7. I got baptized and tried to follow as best as a young boy could. When I got to about 13 is when I started to drift away, no longer had interest in God and wanted to do worldly things. I was off and on with my relationship with him, he was always there in the back and I always wanted to stop and have a relationship with him and several times I tried but it always only lasted a week or less. I think the longest I was on a really good run with my relationship with God and fleeing lust was about 3 weeks. And i remember it feeling great. But the last year or so it's been nonexistent. I haven't had motivation to read or pray, and I've fallen deep into a pit of sin. I need Jesus, my heart hurts. I am emotional as I right this. I feel like I deserve to die and am a worthless human. I am incapable of feeling loved. I feel empty inside. I've never been as depressed and suicidal as I've been for the last year. Just feels like pure darkness. I'm not trying to write a sob story. I just am at my breaking point and need help. I want to stop being a loser and a failure. What do I do? I need Jesus in my life and I want to have a genuine life with him but I fear I was never saved. Every attempt at having a close relationship doesn't last more than a week. I feel like I'm cut off and just doomed. I know I wouldn't go to heaven if I died right now. I need Jesus and I need help so badly can someone please offer any advice I'm sick of myself and this life.

Question about hvac

I bought a 2001 ford ranger, but it had been sitting for about 3 years. The interior smells kinda musty and moldy. I detailed the interior and shampooed all carpets and seats. The smell remains. I believe it may be coming from the vents, I used an odor eliminator to spray in the vents but I need to actually kill the mold because of medical things I have going on. Because these trucks don't have a cabin filter what should I use to kill the mold if there is some? I was thinking of using "kool it" evaporator cleaner and an ozone generator.Any suggestions?

I hate myself and need help

I've been struggling with porn and lust since I was 10 or 11. I was introduced at a young age by a family member. Since then it's been a decade of a lot of mistakes and addiction. I've been very hypersexual since my childhood. I have a girlfriend and still struggle with it. For the last year, my faith has really slipped my hands. I haven't had motivation to read or pray and have barely done either in a long time. I'll pray every now and then asking god for help. I prayed last night asking him to just let me take a step foward in the right direction today and I woke up thinking about posting all of this into this Reddit group. Maybe a coincidence or maybe he is trying to save me. Not only porn but I also have an addiction to my phone and junk food and pretty much any cheap dopamine vice. I feel like a horrible person and I can be a jerk to people and really am insecure and hate myself for all my struggles and mistakes. I feel like a failure. I want to be a loving good person. I'm 21 years old. I want to be the man I want to be but feel like everytime im motivated to become better it only lasts a few days. Maybe that's my adhd. I don't know what to do, I try to pray and ask for help and it feels empty. It feels like I lost my salvation or never had it and I'm just doomed. I know we're in the end times and still it's like I use these vices to cope with the fact I know I'm going to hell. Can someone please give me some advice?

I have an appointment today in which the customer claims there is a lingering perfume smell, she can't locate where it's coming from but apparently is strong and her lungs are sensitive. What should I use to handle this?

When I first got my st tuned last year, it would cap at around 24-25 psi but here recently I'm lucky if it's hits 20. Any common reasons for this?
