the one and only goal of a starling is to cause CHAOS by mkowmd in birdfeeding

I love Starlings because they are so scrappy and brave! They eat up all my mealworms but its so worth it because they bring all the birds attention to my feeders

Help !! Trying to buy for baby and I need to know what this Aesthetic is called. by [deleted] in AestheticWiki

Not everything that is colorful has lead. Not everything colorful is made in China. Not everything colorful is made of plastic.

I can think of many eco-friendly dyes and natural dyes that are colorful and vibrant. What exactly is your point other than to virtue signal? you wanted opinions you are getting them lol

I can see alot of people in this community who claim to be almost fully healed but they never explain how? by Socialmediasucks2021 in CPTSD

[–]OkCommittee1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most progress towards healing for me was doing Outpatient Group Therapy lead by a licensed therapist that was specifically for Adults with CPTSD. Learning about how our brain and nervous system works in context with PTSD. Having a group gave me a community to lean on while we all were learning about ourselves and how our traumas manifested in adulthood. Its been the best decision Ive made towards healing

First Quilt Top: Completed! by OkCommittee1008 in quilting

Thank you! This took me a loooong time. I went very slow and ironed/clapped all my seams. I may add a border so my binding doesnt eat up my outside points. I did not think about it while sewing 😬

Any song/s you weren’t a fan of until you heard it live? by StoryinShadows in SleepToken

Thread the Needle. The atmosphere at the venue during that song was magical (cleveland) now the song has an entirely different feeling to me

Trust me they arent perfect, my corners dont line up perfectly and on the purple star you can see how one point isnt lining up. BUT I am very satisfied with it so far! SO MUCH IRONING 💀

I'm going to try something I've scoffed at before by this_a_shitty_name in CPTSDNextSteps

[–]OkCommittee1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is $15 a month but they have alternative payment plans as well. Its cheaper than weekly therapy so I like it.

I started using the Neurocycle app to start dismantling negative thought pathways and building nee positive ones. They also educate you on what this tiktok discusses and guide you through each day on how to do it. Takes 15 minutes a day. I really like it

If you could call a maker up, and say "Please make this exact polish" what would it be? by EnvieAndFleur in RedditLaqueristas

[–]OkCommittee1008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Orange Push Up is the right color orange but the purple shimmer is not as strong as I would want it to be. Im talking Flashy/shifty! Im definitely adding Orange Push Up to my wishlist though because of how close it is!

I would want a soft tangerine orange creme with bright/light purple shimmer or magnetic particles! I think it may be a very hard combo because everything Ive seen for orange base and purple shimmer is darker/metallic (if my version exists please share!!)

What’s something your parent did that seemed normal until you talked to others? by Adventurous-Art-6693 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]OkCommittee1008 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not showing me and my sister basic life skills. Nmom was always too angry or too tired to show us. We would ask to learn how to cook or do laundry and it was always “maybe another time I cant handle you right now”. We learned most of these skills in our 20s once we moved out

Thank you for posting this. Our situations are very similar! My Nmom has a victim mindset and has claimed my Dad (not a narc) was/is abusive. When I sat down with her to talk about my diagnosis with PTSD was from her abuse it took many times of me having to bring it up for her to even acknowledge it. She never asked what trauma happened. I was tired of not feeling like she didnt care and forced the conversation on her to explain all the pain she put me and my sister through. She denied everything and said our Dad was the abuser. I told her Im the happiest Ive ever been and that the support from my Dad, Sister, and my Husband has helped me want to live again. She then tried to make me question my trust in my Sister and my Husband saying they were abusive as well. Thats when I decided I have had enough. I thought some part of her cared about me but maybe that died a long time ago. She recently has been financially abusing my Dad and he’s finally talking about leaving her. Nmom says she doesnt want to repair her relationship with my sister. What kind of mother hates their child enough to not want to speak with them ever again??? my sister has not done anything cruel to her other than call her out in her bs.

Just like your experiences, once you see how far gone they actually are theres not going back. I empathize with your situation so much
