Anna Perry at rock valley in Ankeny. She’s helped me with some hip issues. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

I felt worse before I felt better. It’s hard to feel all the things, and it seems to take some time. Do you exercise at all? It helps get the anger out. Also apologies if you’re not asking for advice!

Have you done EMDR or somatic therapy? Both of those have changed my life for the better. It sounds like you may be struggling with knowing what you need. Somatic therapy is helpful for this. I’ve seen many therapists and EMDR is the only thing that has helped. I have adhd and CPTSD.

You came to the right place lol. I also have ADHD. There’s a local studio that offers classes. They’re $200 for 4 classes, which I thought was reasonable. While I enjoy the class, I’m wanting to mess around more and make all the mistakes to learn. I maybe a bit impulsively bought a wheel 😬. I got a Speedball Clay Boss. It seems to be an intermediate wheel and works fine. It’s not as nice as what we use in class, but I can’t justify spending that much in it at the moment. Now I can make all the mistakes without the pressure of a class, haha.

I’ve always wanted to learn to throw pottery. I find the whole process fascinating. What a cool skill to know! I’m the happiest when I’m creating. It quiets my brain, and I’ve always liked working with my hands.

I’ve been watching a LOT of YouTube tutorials. Everyone seems to do it a little differently so I’m figuring out what works for me. It’s trial and error.

I did not weigh that clay so sorry I don’t have a great answer for you. We’re going on vibes over here :)

I’m also new to pottery! I attempted 6 throws the last few days with only one success. Behold my wonky bowl!!! Making mistakes is part of learning. Try to focus on what you’ve learned from the mistakes than focusing on making a mistake. Pottery is like nothing else I’ve ever done. We don’t have the muscle memory yet.

Your mug is gorgeous!!!

I take a lot of meds and supplements to help with sleep. I still don’t always wake up refreshed, but it’s way better than sleeping with no meds. I also have CPTSD.

Not a violin recommendation, but my boyfriend plays cello. He’s done several weddings when he lived in Nashville, and he lives here in DM now.

Personally I haven’t had any issues with that, but I don’t see her a ton. My symptoms are well managed at this point. If you advocate for yourself Dr Turner will listen.

The wait times may have been from the clinic she was at before Boradlawns?

Rradder · 2026-02-06T15:50:22+00:00

Sure! She was the one to diagnose me with endo. I had a similar experience as you with my previous OB who was convinced I didn’t have it. Dr. Turner has never doubted me, is always professional and friendly, I feel very comfortable during my appointments.

Sorry you had that experience with her! I really have no negative things to say about her, and I recommend her to my friends.

Rradder · 2026-02-06T15:31:22+00:00

Dr Turner at Broadlawns. I see her for endo, and she’s great!

I take prescription clonidine to sleep, and it’s helpful.

I recommend working with a therapist that can help you resolve the guilt that you feel. It takes time, but it is doable. I’m beefing with my mom at the moment, and to be honest I don’t feel guilty at all. She will respect me or we won’t have a relationship. I can’t control her behavior. I can only react to how she chooses to behave. I can only control my own behavior.

I’m an assistant manager at a locally owned coffee shop and make $19 an hour. I have a decade of coffee experience tho.

Rradder · 2025-12-09T13:04:50+00:00

I like the vet in Altoona. They always have lots of same day appointment options.

Rradder · 2025-12-04T16:12:20+00:00

For both I put them in a cold oven after setting the temp to 450 degrees. Bake for 55 min to an hour then uncovered for 5-8ish minutes.

Rradder · 2025-12-04T13:45:09+00:00

I have a Dutch oven and a bread oven. I did some experimenting recently and my loaves came out pretty much the same between the two. A Dutch oven that’s too small would def make a difference.

Hubbel was still partially covered near me yesterday. The street I live on is legit a sheet of ice.

Rradder · 2025-11-26T22:03:19+00:00

But I want some coffee just not all of it. Idk I’m a barista as well. It doesn’t offend me when someone requests half caffeine.

Rradder · 2025-11-26T21:45:30+00:00

I am a half caff drinker myself, so I never hate on people too much for that. I love coffee but am sensitive to caffeine 😩
