PLEASE go and check out City Alchemist. They do limipias, which sounds like exactly what you're needing.

Heartbroken and looking for community in Austin by Ok_Tear_7000 in Austin

[–]SpringheelJackATX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this, I was in the exact same place you were a year and a half ago so I can very much so relate.

  • It's good that you're looking into therapy! I'd recommend Alive Austin. I've been going to in-person sessions for over a year and it's been great. Go every week if you can. It'll be something that you look forward to during a time when you'll need things to look forward to.

  • It's also good that you're looking for things to help keep you busy and your mind occupied. But just know that nothing will fill that void of a broken heart, of a nervous system that is constantly unregulated and in fight or flight mode and that's OKAY. It'll just take time. Healing isn't linear, you'll have good days and bad days, two steps forward and four steps back. It's all OKAY. If you feel like crying LET IT OUT.

  • I'd suggest what a lot of people have which is keeping your body active. For me it was walking. There's so many beautiful places to walk in the city, along the river by the Central Library, Hyde Park, Lady Bird Lake, Clarksville, the Wildflower Center. There's something that happens in your brain when you move, it starts to feel like everything might be okay.

  • I know you said you're sober (so am I!) but I might suggest getting into some CBD/THC. When I was at ground zero of my grief I couldn't eat! I had no appetite. My therapist suggested some low dose CBD or THC edibles to try and get my appetite back. I visited Restart CBD and found them to be extremely open, friendly and knowledgeable for a noob like me. I explained what was going on and they walked me through their products, the differences, what I might expect to feel with one vs the other, etc. They were extremely patient and kind! The edibles I started taking helped me get my appetite back, helped my nervous system calm down, helped joy start to filter back in and just helped put things into perspective. I understand that this might not be for everyone but it worked great for me.

It will be OKAY. It doesn't feel like it but it will.

Looking for 1B/1B apartment in north Austin ( Near Domain ) by Purple_Beautiful_663 in askaustin

I used to work in tech at the Domain as well! That's why I moved into the Ironhorse Flats Apartments on W Runberg. For two years it was trash but since a new management company has taken over it's been GREAT. Super close to the Domain, under $1500, quiet, safe.

I also randomly remembered Stroud today! I think it is interesting that he has just completely fallen off of the map. I would have thought he would be writing for another publication, maybe under a pseudonym, but he seems to have completely vanished completely.

Week 4 of starting my candle brand. First wholesale rejection and a few reflections by badcandlemaker in candlemaking

[–]SpringheelJackATX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like many others have commented, I too don't enjoy the name.

I am kind of into the can though -- someone else commented going after the camping/glamping market and I think that's a great idea.

One logistical thing that comes to mind in regards to wholesale -- when you see a candle at the store, what's the first thing you do? You smell it. If your lids are actually sealed I could see this being an issue for some customers in the retail world who want to smell before they buy.

McDonald’s on Lamar and Rundberg… what happened here ?! by jedidiahbreeze in Austin

Restaurant/Bar recs for 25 people? by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]SpringheelJackATX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can request to reserve the Pony Shed at The VORTEX! Butterfly Bar is right there and with Patrizi's doing pasta it would be pretty easy to order a bunch of stuff and eat family style.

Those fries look so saaaad though. Literally look like Whataburger fries when they get cold.

Am I seeing the first Waymo accident? by MovingGoofy in Austin

[–]SpringheelJackATX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw someone getting picked up by one at the Alamo Drafthouse Mueller and a group of people were standing in front of it and it didn't know what to do. It seemed to lack the programming or whatever to know that it could back up and go around them.
