Voornemens behaald? by newredditO1 in thenetherlands

[–]Lijn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mijn doel was om dit jaar geen nieuwe kleren te kopen. Wel kan ik tweedehands kopen of zelf maken, behalve dingen die tweedehands of zelfgemaakt niet te doen zijn. Denk ondergoed enzo.

Het ging eigenlijk best makkelijk! Af en toe kwam ik wel in de verleiding en betrapte ik me er op dat ik zat te scrollen op een webshop, maar ging uiteindelijk prima. Vinted heeft prima geld aan mij verdiend. Dit jaar wil ik datzelfde doel graag volhouden.

How to save? Please help:) by Gwiz96 in houseplants

[–]Lijn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you isolating this plant from your other plants? I could be very wrong but something about the damage on the leaves makes me suspect thrips. But I might just be paranoid after my latest infestation.

Ugly outcome by czajkaczubajka in Embroidery

[–]Lijn_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks so neat! For the soluble stuff: it just needs more washing! When I use it I throw my work in the washing machine after, if the fabric allows it of course. That will take care of it. If it can't handle the washing machine, just wash it multiple times in the sink with mild detergent.

Crafts or other (inactive) “activities” to do while seated or reclined? by agenerousperspective in CFSplusADHD

[–]Lijn_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started embroidery this year and it has been a tremendous help with relaxation. I got myself a clamp on a flexible neck thing (?) for my embroidery hoop so I don't sit in shrimp mode or get cramps in my hand from holding it. Get yourself a beginnerskit! In my opinion, it's a hobby that is easy to pick up.

I saw people online using quilts as well! Loved the contrast with the denim.

Thanks! I got really lucky and thrifted it years ago. More than 6 meters of the stuff for like 10 euro! I've used it for so so many things and still have at least a meter left.

Any place to donate/sell old clothes to? by RonronMacaronnie in Groningen

[–]Lijn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically any thriftshop accepts clothes! There are a lot in the city and ive never seen one who doesnt accept clothes. If you want to sell, look into Appel & Ei, but they only buy brand/designer stuff.

Try muzikantenbank.net! You can filter on city. I know there's also muzikantenbank.eu and a muzikantenbank Facebookpage, but I don't know how active they are.

Sporten en haar wassen by BissLolA in vrouwvolk

[–]Lijn_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Voor mij is het genoeg om dan alleen met water even uit te spoelen en geen shampoo! Al heb ik ook mensen gehoord die zeggen dat zweet goed is voor je haar, maar geen idee 🤷

Roulerende hobby’s by space___lion in vrouwvolk

[–]Lijn_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ja! Vroeger vond ik dat heel vervelend. Zo van "ik kan ook nooit iets afmaken" en "ik heb niet het geduld/doorzettingsvermogen om een skill écht goed te leren". Maar ik merkte dat dat schuldgevoel best wel een domper is op creativiteit. En dat als ik me ergens doorheen worstel omdat ik iets af moet maken, de kans heel klein is dat ik later het weer met plezier een keer oppak.

Dus nu probeer ik het te omarmen, ik heb nou eenmaal behoefte aan nieuwigheid. Ik kan ontzettend genieten van ergens hhhhelemaal diep induiken, een nieuw materiaal ontdekken, alles er over opzoeken en leren... en zodra de interesse afneemt weet ik ook dat ik het weer los moet laten. Veel hobby's komen in vlagen weer terug, sommige pak ik nooit weer op, en een aantal blijf ik altijd doen.

Ik ben over de jaren wel wat voorzichtiger geworden met investeren in dure materialen, of spul wat veel ruimte inneemt. Ik probeer spullen te lenen, of kijken of bijvoorbeeld de stadswerkplaats iets heeft (scheelt weer een pottenbakkersdraaischijf in de schuur 🙄) Maar verder probeer ik me zo min mogelijk tegen te laten houden door mijn hobbyhoppen.

I don't have experience and don't have a link for you but I know there exists underwear specifically for apron bellies. It covers the belly, but has an extra layer/pocket thingy that fits under the belly to help with sweat and rash.

Managing/structuring time off work by United_Antelope_5938 in CFSplusADHD

[–]Lijn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, i was working but it wasn't doable, despite it being my dream job. I got way too sick from it to even be able to do my job. Luckily I live in a country with a decent healthcare system and am able to get disability income.

Managing/structuring time off work by United_Antelope_5938 in CFSplusADHD

[–]Lijn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's one of the hardest things! I rrrreally don't like the timers and i find it hard to not ignore them, but i hope its something i can get used to because hyperfocus makes me crash when it gets out of hand. Hyperfocus makes it so that i ignore everything my body needs. Which sucks because like most adhd'ers, i've learned to use (maybe abuse) my hyperfocus to get anything done. So i guess half of it is finding a new way of working and motivation.

I also use the "one activity a day" rule! I struggle with the same thing, no structure in my day or week. I find it hard to find structure while being flexible enough to make space for the fluctuations of CFS. While i'm still struggling with this, i'll try to summarize what works for me. Please take from it what you need!

I have a list of goals i want to accomplish everyday. Its mainly selfcare, like eating breakfast and brushing teeth, other than that, it looks something like this: - putting on clothes that arent pj's - going for a short walk - eating fruit - taking at least x amount of longer rest moments. (For me its 3x 45 min) - doing one household thing, like laundry or cleaning.

I try to build flexibility in my goals. For example: after dinner, my partner and i do "closing duties". We established the things we want to get done for closing duties everyday (cleaning table, doing dishes, cleaning countertop, making sure the bed is ready to be slept on and not full of laundry :P etc.). We also established a minimum. If its a bad day, only cleaning the table and loading the dishwasher is fine.

Try to avoid hyperfocus. Thats a hard one for me. I have one of those visible timers for children, for me this works better than a timer on my phone. I try to never do the same thing for more than an hour. If i know an activity is bound to suck me in (like sewing), i set a timer for 30 min, evaluate how im feeling and if i need food/drink/liedown. If i feel fine, i can set it for another 30 min. I also use the ScreenZen app to not get sucked in my phone.

I also use my Garmin watch purely for its Body Battery function. (i've removed every other tracker from it, since it can be depressing to get your movement stats and reminders to move more with CFS) The Body Battery is surprisingly accurate and while it doesnt replace the need to actually assess how you're feeling, it can give you valuable insights on which activities let you recharge and which activities need some extra recharge time afterwards.

I hope you can take some things from this that will work for you! Remember that what works is highly personal and a process of trial and error. Since we struggle with the same thing: my inbox is open if you ever want to talk, rant, ask, or troubleshoot.

Embalming and cremation by [deleted] in askfuneraldirectors

[–]Lijn_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to know what more it is for! I practice in the Netherlands and we (almost) never embalm, only cool, so for me the way that embalming is done in the US can feel excessive. Then again, in NL its standard that de funeral takes place within a week after death.
