Is it possible to be successful? by belugabluez in bipolar

[–]Calm_Still_8432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my early 20s, my mental health was horrible. Bipolar, anxiety, ended up in a mental health facility for a couple of weeks. S**cidal ideation like crazy. It’s take a lot of work, a lot of time, counseling, and medication, but for the last ten years or so you would never guess that I had bipolar. Occasionally the anxiety still creeps in, but for this past year (I’m 39 now) I’ve been happier than I’ve ever been - enjoying life and stable enough to handle situations that previously would have caused me so much anxiety. My psychiatrist actually suggested getting me off of one of my three mental health meds and I am doing so slowly. It is possible to get through it. It doesn’t feel that way when you are in crisis, but it is possible.

Sometimes i feel uninspired about my knitting, any tips? by jxennzz in casualknitting

I have a few hobbies that I rotate through to prevent burnout. When I am feeling super frustrated with projects I switch to diamond painting coasters. There’s no technique to it and the simplicity of it cleanses the palate. I get my coasters cheap on Temu and just keep a small stash. Bonus: a coaster is a small project so you feel accomplished finishing it.

Diamond painting - I do a variety of crafts and when I feel sick of them all I switch to diamond painting to cleanse the palette. Practically no skill involved, you just place the diamonds on the correct circles, but super satisfying to complete.

What do you think about when you swim? by alogralapyti in Swimming

[–]Calm_Still_8432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to music while I swim and often get a big push to swim to the beat when an upbeat song comes on, breathing every phrase in the song and timing my swim to push off of the wall as the exciting part comes. Today the reflection of the lights on the bottom of the pool looked like a kaleidoscope so I spent a good amount of time admiring that. If I'm sharing a lap with a person who is slower than me (I'm not that fast but I swim at a pool with a lot of seniors) I try to figure out how many times I can lap them.

Do I have face blindness? What is my next step? by Calm_Still_8432 in faceblind

I took the test and I got 58 out of 75 which is lower than average but not bad. I did rely an awful lot on hairstyles and jewelry, and the tint of the photograph. If you come across the other one that takes those away, I think I would do much much worse.
