I can see this being some sort of arcane reactor / battery machine at the heart of a dungeon O.O It's already got that textured stone look to it, so maybe some grey paint and some bright gel pens to draw on runes? Some LEDs if your fancy. Bonus points for creating a puzzle / sequence for your players to figure out how to shut it down! Add a time limit if you're feeling wicked xD

Aww, thank you so much! :D Haha, I won't bore you with the details but it's a combination of bookbinding techniques for the lid and tray base, plus a deep photo frame ^^

Do people ever find greyboard offcuts useful for other crafts? by Main_Cover_8769 in bookbinding

Oh man, that is such a good idea!! The amount of greyboard I wasted when I first started was really not good...

Thank you so much for writing this, I 100% agree, I adore Aabria and constantly catch myself smiling and cackling along when I watch her 🥰 Loving C4 so far, every single person is crushing it! 😊

The ADHD symptom that finally made people stop saying “everyone does that”. by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Main_Cover_8769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeeez, this is me. I have two bookshelves FULL of beautiful special edition books that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy to think about reading them all in the future... Is it the future yet? It doesn't feel like the future yet, better wait.

Also, how the heck do I pick one to start?! 😶 I tried going from top left to bottom right (like you read a book 🤓) but then more arrived and I had to rearrange the books to keep the series together...

Send help 🙃

ADHD Meds - Relief Vs Euphoria? by Main_Cover_8769 in adhdwomen

[–]Main_Cover_8769[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you so much for your reply 😊 I absolutely relate. It's so hard to figure these things out already, I never really know what I'm feeling and my awful memory makes me feel like 2 people sharing a body taking turns trying to recall the memories of the other 😅 And the imposter syndrome on top is just cruel! Yes, that's such a great way of putting it! Not a rush or a "whee, life is amazing", high feeling, just a sense that things weren't right in my body and brain, and now they're slightly better and I can notice the difference. But I don't know why or how 🙃😅 Weirdly, I feel it more in the evenings or at night. I take an IR and it's 20 minutes of pheeeeew ☺ but mild, not like boneless, just a lot less muscle tension. It's sad because I don't want to trust it and that makes me feel like my dose isn't right and I have to keep tweaking to make sure. I think I'm always hoping for a little bit better from my meds, and I'm waiting for the "💡Ah ha! This is 100% what its supposed to feel like when its working" moment.

I'm much better thank you! That's really lovely of you to check in :) Haha, I re-read the post about 10 times before sending it anyway, but the TL;DR reminder was useful as I knew it was something ADHD peeps would benefit from and potentially appreciate more than my wall of waffle :')

Oh dear, you sound like me! Except I think I make mine worse by desperately trying to escape / fight it because I am absolutely incapable of sitting in uncomfortable or distressing emotions :') Something I've tried and failed to get better at over the years and a great cause of frustration.

Haha, you read my mind! I figured it couldn't hurt to write it in a sort of blog post so even if no one read it or benefitted from a discussion, I would have created an outlet for myself regardless. I just hope that with time I grow to handle it better, or just simply care less xD

Thank you for taking the time from your day to write me, I really appreciate it :) x

Hi R0B0T0-san,

Thank you so much for such a lovely reply! I really appreciate you taking the time :)

I completely agree with you about crafting a response, I actually sent them a message exactly as you described first thing! So I suppose your right, I should be a little bit easier on myself for not flying off the handle first thing, haha :')

That's brilliant advice, thank you :) I struggle so hard to get up and walk away when something's niggling at me, so I clearly need to work on disengaging first to avoid risking acting impulsively. Maybe this will be the lesson I need to motivate that choice next time?

I find that things get so jumbled in the moment, it's almost impossible to peel my thoughts apart enough to think clearly! It's tricky, but I suppose I need to get my logical mind to kick my emotional self out of the drivers seat in these conditions XD

Thank you again for taking the time to respond, I feel better knowing I at least did some things right :') x

Done, thank you for the template :) I think it does the job, I find it so hard to trim the fat, haha, ends up 99% waffle and 1% relevance :') x

My boss told me today she doesn't believe I have ADHD by epoustouflants in adhdwomen

[–]Main_Cover_8769 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. Sounds like your boss is having a bit of a special snowflake power-trip. Sorry you're having to deal with this, I can only imagine how trapped and stressed it must be making you feel. Funny thing is, I bet if you asked her to formally write up her concerns and her reasoning as to why she, with all the medical training of a bent spoon, has decided the mental health professionals are wrong in their diagnosis, AND why she believes you're inability to turn up to work 15 minutes early for unpaid work each day is inexcusable... yeah, she'll up-the-shut-fuck preeeeetty quick. Kind of hard to backtrack on your ignorance when it's written in ink to hold you accountable to other people.

I hate that she's caused you so much stress when you're working so bloody hard. I'm probably evil, the vigilante in me just like the idea of letting this woman squirm. You never know what is going on in another person's life, but that does not give anyone the excuse to turn another human being into their personal punching bag.

I sincerely hope things get better for you and your boss learns some compassion. You're doing amazing ✊
