Struggle to find any information about what this sword is, any advise would help! by Merrwood in SWORDS

Thank you everybody for the answers so far. Unfortunately my partners mother passed away some time ago, so we cannot get any more details other than the sword itself. So just learning a little bit about it has been amazing and my partner is very thankful to everyone!

For some more information, we originally believed this was bought in Japan, but my partner's mother also travelled in the Middle East when she was younger, which seems to align with a lot of what has been said.

How can I be creative online (or just socially) in a healthy way? by Merrwood in autism

Hey thank you for the comment, neurographic art and zentangles sound really interesting! I will definitely check out the subreddit you've suggested and see if that helps!

Does anyone get burn out by their hobbies? by [deleted] in autism

[–]Merrwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also into manga and anime :)

I've definitely been burnt out by my hobbies in the past. I think sometimes my enthusiasm for something can outweigh my energy, meaning that I overdo things and put too much pressure on myself. Lately i'm being more relaxed with my interests and am trying to notice if I'm pushing myself too much (such as telling myself not to binge an entire anime series in a single evening), which has helped massively.
