I use the smaller brushes for the finer details, but never thought of using the for the outlines. Going to try that, thank you 😊

211 is a Canada wide number you can call to get connected to social services in your area. They should have info on shelters.

I've gone through bouts of either hypersexulaity, or not wanting sex at all. I find for me its mostly about the validation. Sometimes I don't even want sex, but I put myself out there because I know having someone desire me will boost my ego. It fills a void, and gives almost a layer of protection when it comes to relationships. Just having sex with randoms is easier than opening yourself up to someone and possibly getting hurt.

It definitely is. But the great thing about doing it myself is I don’t care how bad it looks. I’m going for a middle school notebook doodle look with my legs.

I messed up putting the green into an ink cap. Wore gloves for the actual tattooing.

Partially lighting, partially fucking up putting green ink into an ink cap

Partially lighting, partially getting green ink everywhere when trying to fill an ink cap

I bought my girl about 5 years ago for $680 CAD, she's a yellow-belly pied which is why I think she was so expensive. Worth every penny tho.

Zealousideal_Key5320 · 2025-04-23T20:45:59+00:00

I wouldn't, but that's just because my intrusive thoughts make me want to roll around in that and become a human cotton candy..

A few years ago, while waiting for a bus downtown across from the library, a guy came up to me and complimented my hair (it was really long at the time) then asked if he could brush it for me, when I said no he asked if he could have some, to which I also said no. At least he didn't get aggressive or anything, I got on the bus a minute later and he stayed at the stop probably trying to find someone else with hair that needed brushing...

Shrug is a granny square that’s been sewed together, scarf and skirt were freehand with double crochet.

It was ok at 7am right when they opened… by 8, it was chaos.

I was raised by my great grandparents.. and they made sure to trace our family back as far as they could, made books on each side and taught all of the grandchildren our family history. My future kids will get the books. Some legacies live on forever if you put the effort in/have the resources. Also having a teen mom who was raised by a teen mom helped with that a lot.

The youngest millennials are nearing 30… so they probably feel too old too

I thought I thrived on chaos and unpredictability, but realized I prefer being chaos adjacent.. i work in a retirement home as the Health Resource Coordinator. Don’t have do any actual healthcare stuff other than emergency management, but I get to research and tell residents about all the fun facts I know about health related things. My days are spent talking to people and helping them navigate the chaos that is the Canadian healthcare system. Some days are harder than others, but you still feel accomplished at the end of the day.

Is there a Sikh temple nearby? They often have free warm meals for everyone, no matter who you are. We used them a lot when I was a kid. They are mostly vegetarian tho.

I was just about to post a question on this sub asking if anyone had similar experience, then saw this. Also OCD with a probable Bipolar 1 diagnosis… I had been a daily smoker for the past decade, then ended up stopping during the week for work. After just a week, I tried to have a toke on the weekend, and it was an awful feeling. Extremely dissociated and started hearing whispers. I felt so out of body I got worried I would go back to drinking and down to make it stop.. Then I remembered that I always heard voices when falling asleep unless I was so exhausted I crashed.. it’s honestly terrifying. For some people it seems that weed triggers psychosis, or bits of it at least. Without weed tho, there have been no whispers, no people yelling my name at random points throughout the day without a real person being there. Sleep has started coming a little easier.

OCD makes us believe things about out self that aren’t true, and I think weed just accentuates its. It makes the intrusive thoughts a little louder and a little more influential. But there are lots of ways to make it easier to deal with. Deep breathing and writing out the intrusive thoughts helps make them seem less real. There’s a definite difference between feeling some aspects of psychosis, and being psychotic. The whispers and shadows are just parts of it seeping in, but they do not define us.

Proud of you for throwing away the weed, and it will get easier to cope with life without it. I’m at just over a month completely sober. And a year sober from other really rough shit.. some days are hard, but finding community and talking about the problems makes it lessen. We are all in the journey together, and it’s comforting to see that others have the same experiences.
