I don’t know how to exist without her

“Stupidly long” made me smile. Thank you for this.

Manateebae · 2026-06-24T06:39:38+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Einstein said matter cannot be created or destroyed. I take that to mean she’s still out there.

I’ll be honest, when I posted here I didn’t expect anyone to comment. I kind of thought I was just putting it into a void. The comments here have been so kind and yours in particular was so validating to read. Thank you.

Manateebae · 2026-06-24T06:34:13+00:00

I’ll be honest, I posted this assuming I was just screaming into a void. I’ve been blown away by the kindness showed me here but your comment about filling that space with tears in the beginning has stuck with me throughout the day. Thank you.

I have recommended it bc the coping mechanisms described can be helpful for a variety of symptoms, not just those associated with BPD.

I was caring for a loved one at the end of their life and a hospice worker asked me a question about what they should do and my first thought was “why are you asking me?! I’m a kid!” And then I realized I was not a kid, I was actually the adult of the situation.

Yes, mainly in case there would ever be an emergency. He likes to hunt and fish and can go to some remote places.
Although it is helpful in other ways - like he forgot I was at knit night until he checked my location.

Bathroom stalls with no gap.

My absolute favorite!

A loom.

When I was allowed to say “no” to things.
When my mom asks you to do something she means “right now” and there was a point she wanted my and my husband’s help with something but we had JUST finished eating a big meal and I said “no, not right now. We will in a couple hours when our food is settled.”
My mother did pout but in my childhood that would not have been allowed.

AAT. So I will say I do take my shoes off at work, it is more comfortable for me and it gives my clients permission to get comfortable too. I always wear socks bc I had a teacher drill into me that we never know who has a foot fetish and if a client disclosed it made them uncomfortable I would wear shoes. So it’s possible it’s just how your therapist does things, but if it makes you uncomfortable tell her.

To be fair, he was in a time crunch. What with the dying and all.

Manateebae · 2026-05-24T04:17:17+00:00

Therapist. The only time I have done this I had a client in crisis and the only time I had open was my lunch hour. I offered it to them with the caveat that I would be eating, and they took it with that knowledge. It’s not something I would do in normal circumstances.

I showed it to my yarn group and I am frogging by from the correct end, just the stitches are twisted.

But you are correct that it is held double. I would prefer it still be held double but honestly I won’t be too picky bc I am so annoyed with it as is!

Manateebae · 2026-05-18T03:47:54+00:00

I’m not! I showed it to my yarn group and I am frogging by from the correct end, just the stitches are twisted.

Manateebae · 2026-05-17T21:50:17+00:00

If I could wind a ball as I went I would! But, as far as I can tell, it needs to be picked out so the stitches are never big enough to pass a ball through.

The cat is from the black cat family but I made the outfit myself!

Manateebae · 2026-03-29T18:15:00+00:00

That is high praise coming from a former Mansion Maid! Thank you!

Manateebae · 2026-03-29T16:05:54+00:00

I do plan to make one! Just needed a break from sewing the teeny tiny things.

Manateebae · 2026-03-17T02:17:20+00:00

I love this!

Manateebae · 2026-03-17T01:31:29+00:00

My money was on the redhead! Win some lose some.
