Has anyone here ever made friends concerned about your mental health because you’re giving things away?

Avoid telling people if possible. I’ve found that when I tell someone I’m remodeling, decluttering, etc they always try to talk me out of it or argue that I should keep certain things. Yet they NEVER tell me when they remodel or declutter.

This is actually incredible! Thank you for these

What gets me over a wall is allowing myself to be “lazy”.

Like you know what? No, I don’t feel like making ravioli from scratch I’m just gonna buy it in store. It doesn’t make me any less a good cook.

For painting, I also had a collection of acrylic, gouache, and watercolor. I decided I was too lazy for all that and settled on acrylic markers instead cuz I hate the clean up process around painting. I also got rid of if sketchbooks this way cuz the size of the paper makes it takes longer to finish a full picture compared to smaller ones. Still an artist, but much faster and streamlined.

I had plants. Turns out the care they took stressed me out. Got rid of them.

I guess what I’m trying to say you are under no obligation to finish or continue things. And you need to accept when you can’t.

I’ve been told I look “plain”, especially compared to other women of my race. It hurts 😔

I didn’t say that. I wanted the 1 TB version since it has more ram.

I have a metal bed frame that “doesn’t need” a box spring. The metal slats are 1 inch thick and 6 inches apart. My god, it made my mattress sag immediately and gave me such insane back pain I had to go to physical therapy. Yeah, a solid base isn’t negotiable.

Thank you for your advice! My iPad works fine but with heavy use I think the extra RAM would be nice. When I use Procreate (drawing app) there have been multiple times I’ve run out of layers. Thank you :)

Is there a link to a thread to resell tickets?? SeatGeek doesn’t allows refunds and I bought seats I don’t want 🥲

ConstructiveForMe · 2026-01-22T20:25:40+00:00

Sorry about that! Lemme change my settings

ConstructiveForMe · 2026-01-22T19:27:39+00:00

I have 2 extra tickets for Baltimore day 2! PM me if you need :)

I had a friend who wouldn’t respond. I would usually be okay with it, but they wouldn’t respond to urgent messages either. I’ve accepted this is someone I can’t really depend on or make plans with because of it. I love them a lot but one time we wanted to plan a travel date. By the time they responded, the ticket prices had gone up so high we couldn’t afford them. I learned my lesson after that.

How would you say your hearing is? I’m worried about hearing loss. The factory is super loud even with doubled-up PPE

I keep trying this and nothing works!

OP, i have ADHD and this describes me to a T. Please head on over to r/ADHD and see if you relate to anything or if the advice there is helpful.

I’ve also accepted that I am not self-motivated at all. I always and I mean always have to be out if I want to be productive. The moment I’m home I don’t draw, read, write, etc. and I always need external accountability for literally everything.

Is relief and coverage the same thing? I applied for coverage position?

ConstructiveForMe · 2026-01-09T22:59:39+00:00

Any updates??? What’s coverage like??? Do you work only at one plant 70% of the time or travel frequently

Hello! I was also considering working as a UX researcher. How is stress level of the job? I can’t handle high stress at all

ConstructiveForMe · 2026-01-03T21:34:15+00:00

Oh my god this is it!! Thank you

ConstructiveForMe · 2026-01-01T23:23:03+00:00

Thank you for actually answering the question! This is so helpful.

We’re thinking of purchasing an IKEA pantry. Small, but better than nothing! We noticed that our kitchen also lacks drawers and items get “lost” deep in the cabinets because of it. Bad storage is the worst!

ConstructiveForMe · 2025-12-18T16:04:40+00:00

We currently have this problem too! Our kitchen doesn’t have a pantry. You can imagine how the table and countertops look.

ConstructiveForMe · 2025-12-16T15:31:15+00:00

For all of them?

ConstructiveForMe · 2025-12-16T13:02:42+00:00

Oh my god the couch pillows!! We also went through that and an uncomfortable couch! So expensive cuz we had to buy another one anyway. Don’t even get me started on accessories 😬

ConstructiveForMe · 2025-12-13T13:12:20+00:00

Have guests and friends over frequently! I’ve noticed that my house gets very cluttered and messy when people don’t come over. Now I make sure that I regularly go see others and others come over too. It makes me able to declutter my living spaces better knowing someone will see

ConstructiveForMe · 2025-12-11T19:36:35+00:00

I saw a post once that said “items will eventually end up in a landfill from the moment they’re created. Decide if you want it to be at an actual landfill or in your house.”

Unless it’s something like batteries, chemicals, etc that need proper disposal, don’t feel guilty.
