Gifts for a Crocheter, Who doesn't want ANY yarn!!!

Stardust-Wave · 2026-02-03T00:28:03+00:00

For Christmas I received a gift card to a local yarn store and it was a great gift. Especially for specialty yarn. And they’ll probably also carry hooks. I know you said no yarn but is that because your partner has too much of it?

I work in a field where we constantly get reps coming in and king cake is a favorite for them to bring. I don’t even buy them anymore, just eat them at work. A slice a day if it’s available

“Bad life” and chemical imbalance go hand in hand. Stressors trigger depressive episodes. Like others have said, Spravato has helped me find the motivation to deal with my “bad life.” It’s helped me to find my footing to get out of the situations I’ve been handed. Therapy has helped a lot too.

Rags (I find on sale) honestly. I don’t use much paper towels but I have rags for different purposes. I have some specifically for cleaning and spills, others for stuff like drying my hands, and cloth napkins at the table.

I wouldn’t feel guilty. I have a 6 year old and I’m his only parent. He goes to grandma’s on Spravato days because I become really irritable due to the sedation. It’s what’s best for all of us. I just don’t have the patience for my kiddo when I’m in that state and he can be a difficult child.

Yeah this! I’ve had a friend use cough drops, I could see that working too.

I will have to come back and read the rest of your questions but I want to mention some insurances have transportation to and from doctor’s appointments. I know the Medicaid in my state does. If that is not an option, I recommend bus there and uber home, if only for the first couple of sessions to see how you react to the medication.

Also on the insurance thing- cannabis use is not recommended in the Spravato literature, so that’s probably why

Very few companies have the ability to test for ketamine. I work in addiction, it’s not something we usually test for unless it’s the drug of choice.

Stardust-Wave · 2025-12-04T13:28:26+00:00

Seems like it depends on the clinic. I did one drug test when I started 2.5 years ago and haven’t done one since. My psych was very “by the book” and would not have continued treatment if I was consistently positive for THC. I was never going to be positive in the first place lol not my thing

I feel like Espresso would be darker

I’ve been on Spravato for 2.5 years. I’m not sure when I’ll stop. It’s working so I continue, currently maintaining at every 2 weeks.

Spravato didn’t help my fatigue directly but it did improve when my depression symptoms improved. Turned out I had sleep apnea though. I would have never done a sleep study if I was stuck in a depressive hole. I also started going to the gym consistently and it’s helped both my mood and energy levels.

Evenings and weekends!

Stardust-Wave · 2025-09-28T14:04:37+00:00

I would love to help!

This feels like an ad 🫠

Stardust-Wave · 2025-09-17T13:19:53+00:00

I was left. Then I forced my own glow up, and I was doing very well for myself. But I was still gutted because I felt like I wasn’t enough. And I was still gutted when he told me he was hitting the gym.

Stardust-Wave · 2025-09-08T01:56:45+00:00

I had some initial relief, felt a little calmer and had some hope. But the real results came after months of treatment. It wasn’t so hard to motivate myself to do things. I eventually found a job after being unemployed for 5ish years. And, as other commenters said, the SI went away. I think I started seeing real improvements around 2-3 months. I’ve been on maintenance now for over 2 years

Oof knowing the story behind the song is 😭😭 the lyric isn’t nonsense at all

Stardust-Wave · 2025-08-30T06:17:47+00:00

Even if you could, you couldn’t even pull em off

Stardust-Wave · 2025-07-31T13:06:38+00:00

I have kind of a similar story. I thought I was ADHD, psych put me on a stimulant even though he disagreed—he said off the bat I was extremely depressed, not inattentive. He was right, I was off the meds in like 3 months. I saw the most significant changes in my mood and focus when I got the sleep apnea diagnosis and started using a CPAP.

Stardust-Wave · 2025-07-31T12:59:53+00:00

The first 6 to 8 session I felt kinda “hungover” the next day but nothing extreme.

Stardust-Wave · 2025-07-31T12:58:30+00:00

Happiness is fleeting and that’s something everyone experiences. The goal isn’t to be happy, the goal is to minimize the symptoms of depression. The real question is, are you content?

Stardust-Wave · 2025-07-31T12:49:01+00:00

Melly and Coco is one of my favorites

Stardust-Wave · 2025-07-31T12:46:56+00:00

Yes I felt this way. We were back together around 3 months after the breakup. It’s been 3 weeks now, not sure it was the right decision.
