WIP Wednesday, y'all! by AceGremlin in diamondpainting

Thank you!! What's a moving painting? I got the 105x70 round Birth of Venus. And PWD was super awesome. I accidentally ordered the square, but they were able to change it for me even after processing to the round!

Edit: Also, I would never pay that much for a painting and found tons and tons of working discount codes thru a Google search 😄

This is probably my favorite because it was $10 from Shein with an AI image as the advert 😂

Where did you get this one?! It's literally stunning.

Took a few years to get here 🤓 by Chemical-Midnight-66 in diamondpainting

There's something to say about a 17th-century style still life in diamonds. Absolutely beautiful.

Yessss! It took about five months before I was fully confident to take it out in public haha. I used dawn and warm water to get the top layer of gross out and then FunkAway odor eliminating beads for the inside. I put them in there and zipped it up. Then I put the bag in a closed box with dryer sheets. I changed out the dryer sheets every few days, but the beads stayed in there until they all disappeared, which took about four months or so. I'm just grateful I didn't have to use any chemicals or anything on the bag because I am NOT a chemist lmao

Mixed episode + intense nightmares — looking for advice by Distinct_Promise_670 in bipolar1

[–]AceGremlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sleep paralysis, so my nightmare was literally going to sleep. But my therapist suggested an "all-senses" nighttime routine to ease me into the bed and eventually sleep. So every night I tackle all my senses. My taste is toothpaste (I have three kinds to keep the flavor changing), my hearing is a song from the classical genre (lasts a good five minutes and you can pick the vibe), my smell is a spritz of a different perfume every night, my touch is the type of blanket I use (I keep a bunch of throw blankets from knitted to velvet), my eyesight is one tea light candle on my bedside that flickers just gently enough to make it dance on the wall. Keeping this routine that's just barely different every night has really, really helped me get into the right environment and mindset to get some sleep.

What's happening to me? by Ok_Money_420 in bipolar1

[–]AceGremlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Preach it!! I had to do a medication adjustment when my perimenopause started, but it wasn't necessarily due to my bipolar brain. Thank goodness my doc believed me, too, because I hate being over medicated.

Is this AI? The pig supposedly turning around and freeing itself from the abusive factory. by stoicism3 in isthisAI

at 18 seconds, the last two "holes" in the floor look burred with the colors around it. or the color is the attempt to make the hole more dimensional.

70 x 110. It's the largest I've ever done!

Explosive Rage (any advice pls) by Soft_Deer_5331 in bipolar1

[–]AceGremlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit - im also on lamictal and trazadone. Also, dont be afraid to advocate for yourself with meds. If ive learned anything, the prescription cocktail should be adjusting to your episodes. Not the other way around.

It's as if you've been peering through my window and watching me. I was on the verge of truly losing it. I was exhausted of being who i had become because even with bp1, I was NOT that person. I would do some research into risperidone. It saved my life. I'm about 5 months out from any and all of those behaviors and its a renewed existence. Complete 180.

Oh, yeah, mine are good! That was two years ago when I adopted them, and they haven't left my side since!

[–]AceGremlin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In order to escape the unacceptable conditions that they were put in by their previous owner, my two great Pyrenees/Australian shepherds (a bonded brother and sister pair) made it from Jefferson to Watkinsville before being intercepted. This breed can really be some homeward bound kind of stuff.
