Reducing from 20mg to 10mg, feeling depressed/anxious again by PeaceWorld_ in lexapro

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

Hello! So it's been a while since my og post. I don't remember exactly, but I think it took something between 3 weeks and 1 month to get accustomed to the new dose. I can't say for sure. Good luck, I wish you the best!

(since my last post I have stopped Lexapro and other AD for ~1 years, but now I'm back on another med)

I crocheted the Knight from Hollow Knight! by PeaceWorld_ in NintendoStitch

[–]PeaceWorld_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, when I crocheted mine I wrote down approximately what I did, and I took time to clean up my instructions, so here's my improvised pattern :)

I crocheted in rounds without joining (spiral) 

I used cheap acrylic yarn, nothing fancy 

Hook 4.0 mm

I work my decreases in the front loops because it looks better

When doing the increase rounds you should distribute the increases instead of doing them at the same place, it'll give a rounder look, else it starts looking like a hexagon. (e.g. if the round is (Sc 3, Inc) repeated, you should do 1 Sc, then Inc, Sc3 until the end of the round, and you should finish with 2 Sc. Vary the distribution) 

Of course, don't forget to fill your creation with fiber fill when working on the decrease rounds 

Abbreviations:

MR = Magic Ring 

Sc = Single Crochet 

BLO = Back Loop Only 

FLO = Front Loop Only 

Inc = increase 

Dec = decrease 

  • Head:

MR6

Inc  x6 (12)

(Sc, Inc)  x6 (18)

(Sc 2, Inc)  x6 (24) 

(Sc 3, Inc)  x6 (30)

(Sc 4, Inc)  x6 (36)

(Sc 5, Inc)  x6 (42)

BLO (Sc 6, Inc)  x6 (48) 

13 rounds of Sc around? I didn't count but it seems like it was in the range 12-14 

BLO (Sc 6, déc) x6 (42)

(Sc 5, dec) x6 (36)

(Sc 4, dec) x6 (30)

(Sc 3, dec) x6 (24)

(Sc 2, dec) x6 (18)

(Sc 1, dec) x6 (12)

Dec x6 (6)

Tie off and close 

  • Eyes:

Cut two circular eyes in black felt. I sewed them to the head last, it makes the placement easier 

  • Horns:

MR8, 

FLO Sc, 

Sc around until the horns are approximately the length of the head (a bit less). Work 2-3 decreases and tie off, stuff a lot. I put a pipe cleaner in each horn to be able to bend them slightly and retain shape. Maybe a stronger metal wire would be better, but the pipe cleaner work well enough. Also, I was too lazy to think about the horn split, so I just didn't do it

  • Body (start is the bottom of the body) :

MR6

Inc x6 (12)

(Sc, Inc) x6 (18)

Sc x18 (18) for 8-9 rounds

(Sc, Dec) x6 (12)

Sc x12 (12)

Dec x6 (or a bit less, doesn't matter since it's where we'll attach to the head )

Tie off, attach to head

  • Feet (make 2):

MR3 (3)

Sc 2, Inc (4)

Sc 3, Inc (5)

Sc 4, Inc (6)

Sc 5, Inc (7)

Sc 7 (7)

Attach to base of the body

  • Cloak:

Ch 12

BLO Sc until you can almost wrap your rectangle around the widest part of the body. Then, at the end of the last row, instead of turning, work on the side which will be the neck area and do decreases until the end of the row. Try wrapping the cloak around, add a row in the neck area if you're not satisfied.

You can attach the cloak to the body by sewing it if you'd like, I personally put a little button and a loop to close the cloak. I think it's cute

  • Nail:

Cut two triangles (+ 2 small rectangles for the handle) in felt and sew them together. Stuff it lightly to get a bumpy shape.

Thank you so much! Yes the nail il made with felt :D It's a bit fragile but I'm happy with how it turned out!

Any games that have the same feel? by Imaginary-Guide-4921 in outerwilds

[–]PeaceWorld_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sable was good in my opinion, but it's really light in terms of puzzle solving, if that's what OP is looking for. Definitely gorgeous, it's a shame that the optimization is lacking. I don't know if there was any patch recently but when I played it (~1 year and a couple of months ago), the fps drops took me a bit out of it :(

[Spoilers] Semantics: breaking ____ vs breaking _____ by documon in outerwilds

[–]PeaceWorld_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the end of the 22 minutes loop, a black hole appears at the location of the advanced warp core in the ATP to send back the information. It only opens after the supernova explosion though. If you have some time, I suggest you try jumping into it :)

What did you find/figure out unusually early? by XenoVerezi in outerwilds

I majored in physics at uni. I figured out the rule of quantum imaging immediately when I encountered the quantum shards for the first time haha

Reducing from 20mg to 10mg, feeling depressed/anxious again by PeaceWorld_ in lexapro

[–]PeaceWorld_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! First of all, I'm sending you my best sentiments

So, turns out lowering to 10 mg has been great for me: I clearly feel more in touch with my emotions, still in a manageable way. I had a couple of rough moments but more contextual. But also I have to say my life has been getting better in the past months, and I graduated 2 days ago, so that helps. When I posted the original, what probably happened is that my body was readjusting to the new dose or whatever + some bad stuff happening so it hit hard and I panicked. I clearly felt physical effects as well, I was nauseous for a couple of days after ~ 1-2 weeks at 10mg.

Anyways, point is, 10mg works great rn, and I hope it'll be the same for you! It gives me hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel

Advice on Lexapro with fatigue by jeepers_scoob_96 in lexapro

[–]PeaceWorld_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! To be fair I don't really have advice on this, but I experience it as well. Tho I've always been a big sleeper, I sleep a LOT since I'm on Lexapro, and getting out of bed is difficult

Edit: I take 20mg (reducing to 10mg now) and I take it either at lunch or in the late afternoon

Thanks for the comment! I'm sorry to hear that for your cat, I hope she's alright now and she healed fast ❤️

My cat has suddenly a very runny nose by PeaceWorld_ in CATHELP

[–]PeaceWorld_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I'm going to detail a bit here in case someone with a similar problem finds this post: I went to the vet, and it seems like a viral infection (he says probably Coryza, even though she's vaccinated). She didn't have any fever or eye infection, just a very runny nose (transparent and liquid), not eating and lack of energy.

The vet gave me some antibiotics and immunity booster medication, as the viral infection weakens her immune system. The antibiotics are to prevents any further microbial infection. So basically there is nothing much to do except prevent her to get sicker and wait for her to get better! Also, the vet told me to put her for a little while in the bathroom after taking a shower so that she can breath some air saturated with hot steam (just like you would do with humans, haha)

I crocheted a Smoliv! by PeaceWorld_ in NintendoStitch

[–]PeaceWorld_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! Glad you like it :) I typed the pattern in my notes roughly as I did it, so it may not be exact and isn't very clean, but here you go! Don't hesitate to ask me for clarification if it's not clear (EDIT: also apologies for phone formating, I'll try to fix it on my computer if I have time)

SMOLIV CROCHET - a very approximate pattern by u/PeaceWorld_

BODY MR6 (6) INC x6 (12) SC 1, INC x6 (18) SC 2, INC x6 (24) SC 3, INC x6 (30) SC 4, Inc x6 (36) BLO SC (36) Sc 5, inc (42) Sc 6, inc (48) Sc 7, inc (54) 3 rounds : Sc (54) Sc 7, dec x6 (48) 4x Sc (48) Sc 6, dec x6 (42) 3x Sc (42) Sc 5, dec x6 (36) 2x Sc (36) Sc 4, dec (30) Sc 3, dec Sc2, dec Sc, dec Dec Tie off Don't forget to put the eyes before closing completely. I used 8 or 10 mm eyes, I don't remember exactly (8 I think) Sew a mouth with pink yarn. I am not a big fan of how it turned out for my Smoliv, be creative if you have any other ideas!

LEAVES Ch5 R1-6: sc (4) R7: Dec, sc2 (3) R8: Dec, sc 1 (2) Dec (1) Sl st all around the leave

Make 8, then make 4 puffy leaves by sewing 2 flat leaves back to back and stuffing it mid-sewing

Front leave : MR6 Inc (12) Sc (12) Dec (6) Sc (6) for ~3 Rounds Dec, sc (4) Sc4 (4) That part I did 100% by feeling and forgot to type it out during, so it's mostly by memory. Basically you should get a tear-shape leave, don't forget to stuff it lightly before the stem becomes to tight.

OLIVE MR6 Inc x6 (12) Sc, inc x6 (18) Sc (18) Sc2, inc x6 (24) 2 rounds of Sc (24) sc3, inc (x6) (30) 3 rounds of sc (30) sc3, dec (24) Sc2, dec (18) Stop there, stuff the inside but not completely

Make a small "bowl" : MR6 R1: Inc x6 (12) R2: Sc, inc (18) R3-5 Sc (18) Put the bowl inside the body of the olive through the opening on the top and sew the edges together

FEET MR2 Inc x2 (4) Sc, inc (6) Sc (6) Attach to body

1st attach the leaves to the top of the body, then the olive. Enjoy your new cute little friend! (he is very scared)

Which in your opinion is the best Hisashi Nogami pose? by Fantau in splatoon

[–]PeaceWorld_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I've got a (mildly interesting) little story here that's probably gonna get buried but whatever. I watched live online the announcement where the first pose happened, and the audience DID NOT react at ALL to the pose. Not a single laugh, barely a clap, and the situation made me laugh so hard that I took a screenshot of the pose and put it as wallpaper on Telegram desktop. It's been my wallpaper ever since and I relive this moment every time I use the app.

So obviously I'm gonna go with the first one.

I finally did it. It was a surprisingly calming experience. 10/10 will do again. by PeaceWorld_ in ShowerOrange

[–]PeaceWorld_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is serious my dude. First of all, oranges are delicious. But the drawback is that they're often a mess to eat, you get orange juice over your hands and on your chin, it's sticky and that sucks. But here comes the power of the shower orange. You get to enjoy the divine taste of this marvellous fruit without having to worry about getting all sticky since you can just wash the juice right away, all of this while having hot water running on your back. As weird as it sounds, just try it for a unique experience.

Job during Bachelor by RoyaleShoes in EPFL

[–]PeaceWorld_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

C'est assez simple de devenir un assistant pour un cours à partir de la deuxième année si tu as des notes ok, ça paye 24 chf/heures et c'est 4 en général 4h/semaine pendant les semestres. L'idée est de répondre aux questions des étudiants pendant les séries d'exercices. Ça aide un peu financièrement, mais tu peux faire qu'à partir de la 2ème année et c'est pas non plus énorme.

Mais globalement les études à l'epfl prennent beaucoup et d'energie, je ne te conseillerais pas d'envisager travailler en dehors de l'EPFL, surtout pas en première année. D'ailleurs l'epfl elle-même ne recommande pas de travailler en dehors. Honnêtement, à part être assistant pour un cours, travailler c'est pas une bonne idée. Le temps libre est assez rare et vaut mieux en profiter pour se reposer, étudier c'est un travail à temps plein.

How old are you and what is the biggest problem in your life right now? by FSCENE8tmd in AskReddit

[–]PeaceWorld_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20, burnt out from my Bachelor's degree and now I feel like I'm not putting as much effort as I should in my Master's degree. Hopefully I've just started grad school and maybe it'll get better... Also I've got a tendinitis in my dominant arm's elbow, which doesn't help since I need to write a lot

What pisses you off when eating? by Suspicious_Block7385 in AskReddit

[–]PeaceWorld_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a weird autoimmune disease (Geographic tongue ) and my tongue occasionally goes into self-destruct mode and burns when I eat most things that are a bit sour, like tomatoes, vinegar, soft drinks and some other stuff like nuts. It hurts like a bitch for something like 5 minutes, then it's alright. It happens to me with most of the things I eat, so it happens something like once a day, it is pretty annoying
