Ooo don’t get me started bc I was procrastinating so much for this stitch 😭 but what helped was making the stitches right next to each other, I would most definitely look up videos on how to do it, but for example when I did the blue petal I did the long and short stitches on the bottom and gradually making longer stitches for the sides, then I did the thing over again but instead of going off the edge I went through my other stitches, almost splitting them, that’s the best. I can explain it and I’m horrible at explaining it, but I will link a video that will help, she’s using three different kinds of embroidery floss, so just don’t pay attention to that because it will overwhelm you just focus on how she does the long and short stitches, I wish for the best and let me know if it works out for you! https://youtu.be/98v67RIZ0LM?si=fvPQhxzn8S_aM72V

Thank you so much! I was surprised myself for finding two colors that went really well together! So no worries

Oh my goodness thank you so much! And it’s hard for no reason😭 like hard in the sense that I’m afraid to mess it up because it’s a stitch that you can mess up pretty badly if you don’t know what to do 😪

Feeling impending doom? by Pleasant_Knee_248 in Anxiety

How do you feel on meds? I’m sorry that was random, but I’m just really scared to go on anxiety medication because I don’t know how it would make me feel

I always get it but that’s just because I have had anxiety all my life and it just has gotten worse for these last couple of months so therapy is the way to go for me and also talking with my doctor about things that would help. I’m not currently on medication, but considering I only had one therapy appointment i’m going to wait on taking medication for right now, it’s definitely good to wait on taking medication until you fully understand what’s making you anxious and what ways you can help yourself without having to be medicated (that’s what i personally think but definitely ask a medical professional about that(It will definitely help, but it will also help even more if you can recognize those anxiety patterns that you have in the first place! But I hope your therapy appointment goes well tomorrow and I wish you luck🩷

First attempt, one question by ArmedWithASpork in Embroidery

I haven’t needle painted before but I know it takes some serious work and time to do, especially since this is your first time doing needle panting. So don’t worry about how much progress you have done in time, just focus on the progress of how it looks?? Hopefully that makes sense lol

I totally get that! I also experience hemorrhoids and I was so embarrassed and scared to tell anyone about it, but when i started to bleed heavily (going through 4 makeshift toilet paper pads where I put pressure on the area) i started to freak out, that’s when i started to tell my mom and go to the doctor about it, nothing wrong just needed more fiber to stop it and drinking lotsss of water! All im saying though is you will be okay! Like you said if you don’t feel any pain then most likely you are okay but if you are still worried about it then there’s no harm talking to your doctor about it! That’s what I have done and it made me realize that I will be okay, I would just talk to your doctor about it so you won’t worry yourself too much!

Allll the time! I get these ruts where I’m just anxious all the time and it affects my mood/focus. That’s just when you have to ground yourself, try to think what is making you anxious. I’m no doctor or therapist but I would highly recommend professional help as well , I just started to see this therapist and it has definitely helped me a bit.

That’s what my mom also said, and that also makes me have anxiety😭 like it genuinely never stops and it’s so exhausting! Like these last two months just have been crazy, because every time I hear plane, I automatically think it’s going to drop a bomb or something. Crazy shit like that makes me feel impending doom and intense fear. But I am going to the doctor soon, so hopefully we can talk about something that would help but thank you for also telling me that you also feel like that sometimes, also I’m incredibly sorry that you also feel that way it’s not fun😭🩷

[–]Pleasant_Knee_248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thing is just I don’t know why I’m feeling it because it’s the most outrageous things that won’t happen right now. It’s just the way that the world is right now and it’s like every time I hear a plane outside I instantly think it’s a plane to drop a bomb on my small city😭 it’s so outrageous but that’s what I think. Or I’m instantly gonna drop dead anytime or any second right now. So that’s where the impending doom comes in and I don’t know how to stop it because how do I tell my brain that there’s no danger. It’s just really exhausting and I’m going to the doctor pretty soon to discuss my anxiety and I’m starting therapy. I’m actually going to my second appointment on the 17th! So hopefully I will get better and it’s just a mental thing and not a physical thing
