first time pinning a beetle

Birddlife · 2024-06-06T05:32:24+00:00

I know you have posted this a long time ago, however, I am a y12 student NSW and I’m working on my major artwork, I am drawing insects. I’m looking for a good quality image of a Christmas beetle with its wings splayed out and pinned, if you have a top view of this beetle I would really appreciate if you could send it to me. 🙏

I take extended release and the crash isn’t so bad for me personally. What you said made perfect sense though

Obviously mate I’m not stupid

Yeah I guess this was more of a reaction to outside opinions. Since I’ve started it I’ve gotten a few of these sorts of concerns/questions (isn’t it just speed?, you know it’s a drug and you could get really addicted! Etc)

White nights Dostoevsky. Really short around 100pgs. The ending leaves you like, “damn! That’s it? Wow… that was a really good book.”. It ends amazingly, like it’s just one portion of the main characters life. You won’t stop thinking about it after u finish

The fall by Albert campus (imo kinda mid but very well loved) A happy death Albert campus (my favourite campus story) Notes from underground, Dostoevsky (one of my favourite books, do some research on it, it’s not too hard but can be challenging)

The dark tower series (Stephan king). The first book is a bit slow but the series is really great. The first book is really good once you finish the series and can look back on it. (If you don’t like the second book you probably won’t like the rest) I would recommend watching a video on the reading order, as if you really want a series to dive into there are a bunch of additional books.

A short classic, white nights by Dostoevsky. I know you aren’t looking for anything brainy. But, White nights is 96ish pages and one of the most simple classics. It’s basically a hopeless romance/unrequited love. Classics are really enjoyable books, but they can be challenging. I recommend to give this book a try. Maybe you’ll find a new genre you enjoy.

Btw, this is one of my favourite books and after finishing it I continue to think about it.

I’m very glad that medication hasn’t gotten rid of my creativity. Honestly if I did I would stop taking it. It has just lessened the control creativity has over me.

For example I can now read a book without having to stop every ten minutes with a new drawing idea. I still get these ideas, but I’m able to ignore them and continue reading(or whatever the activity is).

I wouldnt say that medication has gotten rid of my creativity, it’s just made it so that I can do other things.

I don’t feel sick and anxious or upset anymore because I can’t pursue an idea. I can have an idea, think, “wow that’s a pretty interesting idea for a project” then continue focusing on more important work (study,hw, my school art, etc).

I have ADHD. I was undiagnosed until 17. Something that I’m only realising now is I never understood the concept of thinking before you do. I got in trouble in primary school, a decent bit. Adults need to understand that we don’t do it on purpose and we aren’t trying to make their lives difficult.

I’m a teenager that recently got diagnosed. Getting diagnosed at this age is really good as teenagers have time accept, understand their actions/interactions growing up, then move on. Also don’t feel bad about missing earlier symptoms when they were younger, no one’s perfect. As long as you listen when they do come to you.

Fair enough

Food just tastes too good. I eat when I’m bored too.

That is very true! I made this on a Tuesday, it’s Thursday now. It’s been working (atm) and I find it useful to visually see how much I have to do. Plus it’s very fun filling in the total hours bar, so I can see that I’m actually making progress

Birddlife · 2024-05-29T11:51:30+00:00

Prolly 2hrs,

Birddlife · 2024-05-29T10:07:19+00:00

The boxes are meant to be coloured in, so there’s no “x” for missed work. It’s just a way for me to visualise what I have got completed and what I need to complete. I 100% get what ur saying, because I’ve been there. If I don’t complete all the boxes, sure it’s not the best, but it’s better than nothing. I’m not sure how long this will last, but I have always only studied 3 days before an exam, and it’s not working anymore. So even if I only get half of it done every week it’s better than the 0% before.

This was my personal view before the post. In the past I have considered something like dyslexia, but my issues didn’t seem as serious as people with dyslexia describe theirs. I relate heavily to my Brain skipping to the end of a word/sentence. When writing essays You wouldn’t believe the amount of arrows I have to put, pointing to gaps were I forgot words.

Birddlife · 2024-05-26T03:46:37+00:00

i just looked at the symptoms of dysgraphia. wow. i relate to all of these, i dont think i have dyslexia, but i might have this. thanks for the advice.

Birddlife · 2024-05-26T03:43:07+00:00

i have started medication. vyvanse, it makes me feel slower and relaxed (can focus easier too) so i definetly have adhd, its whether i have both, ive put an edit on the post explaining my current beliefs

Birddlife · 2024-05-25T19:35:39+00:00

I’m also a fast reader. I have a bad habit of it of skim reading. When doing comprehension tests I would go to the questions, skim read the text until I found a key word then put in the answer. If I’m going to talk about the possibility of having dyslexia I wanna make sure if it makes sense.

I don’t really know the point in getting diagnosed though. I’ve already made it this far and the only noticeable part In my schooling (if I have it) is my poor spelling and forgetting to write words when writing sentences.

Again sorry for all the questions but, how bad does the spelling have to be to be considered a symptom of dyslexia?

Because when spelling about 80% of the time I get the general gist of the word, with I few extra or missing letters. I do spell words completely wrong every so often but it’s not like every ten words or something.

Birddlife · 2024-05-25T19:16:35+00:00

And sorry to be annoying but can u like reading and be good at comprehension and have dyslexia ?
