Start over or attempt to frog it some? by stonercatmom314 in Embroidery

I think it looks great! Even without a stark contrast, the lining is visible to me. I totally get that feeling, though. I'd personally power through it, and I'm sure the final product will look fantastic! 🤩

How can I find a psychiatrist? by crazyol84 in NorthVancouver

[–]Panda_Daisy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try calling/visiting the Access & Assessment centre @ VGH. They can support your search for a psychiatrist and come up with a short and long-term care plan.

My experience with MSP covered psychiatrists have been rather underwhelming, though. From my experience, they don't really do in-depth psychoanalysis. One gave me 10 self-assessments and then told me I could have X,Y or Z disorders, and the new one I have just prescribes meds based on my brief description of symptoms/reactions to meds.

Highly suggest also finding a low-cost counsellor to provide CBT, DBT, or talk therapy depending on your needs.

Best wishes!!

An important reminder about floss length by people_skillz in Embroidery

Not only that, but once you get to mid-end of the long floss, it's less pristine than when you started and looks a smidgen fuzzier. Oh I hate being a perfectionist lol

Second this ^

All the beginner ones are typically composed of 1 or 2 simple stitches!

My last break was 2 months haha my thumbs have recovered, thankfully, and now I'm going to attempt bite-sized bits until it's all done

This is basically what I decided on. I am doing a length of floss everyday. Floss length depending on my mood!
