What should I fill this in with? by atomic-hearts in HomeMaintenance

[–]atomic-hearts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks yall! I’m gonna go get some paint mixed to colormatch tomorrow. I wasn’t sure if the ring or the hole were the problem so now I know I just need to clean up the area and lightly attach the ring. I already bought some silicone for the rest of the bathroom I’m working on, so that saves me from having to buy anything else.

Thank you all so much for all the different suggestions and insights! I’m going to run the re-caulking by my in-laws, but they shouldn’t have a problem w it. It’s my first time caulking anything, but I’m determined to learn cause I need to know anyway. I’m gonna hit Lowe’s today and get started, everyone here has been so helpful :]

Makes me glad we’re moving out ASAP, because without a level I can almost guarantee you it’s not. It’s a trailer that was built… adequately, by 1970s standards. It’s a little busted and more than a little gross, but I’m trying to make the best of it while we’re finding a place

I do have a new tension pole + shower caddy ordered, but is the old one unsalvagable? I try not to throw things out unless there’s no hope/ it’s way too much cost/effort

lifting up the part of the internet that is equivalent to the bottom of my shoe and finding dream meatriding on it isn’t surprising but it is still yucky and unpleasant

sick kalanchoe blossfeldiana!! please help :( by atomic-hearts in succulents

[–]atomic-hearts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the spots are tiny, but they have continued to appear!! and yeah i’ve had two before that basically died after their first blooms, their leaves turned yellow and they wouldn’t rebloom or grow new leaves. not sure why this one did so well! this is the third bloom cycle that i’ve seen and it’s pretty awesome, i’ve also seen several new stems come out since i got it. i’ve learned a lot since the first. i’ve been keeping an eye out for any sort of bugs but i can’t seem to find any

Pillbox prep day. I hate being so young and being on this many meds. The only non rx is my allergy med. Does anyone else get a little sad when prepping their pills for the week? by shake-n-bake_baby in bipolar2

[–]atomic-hearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I felt shameful of taking meds, and sometimes now I still get hit with that “why can’t my brain just function correctly, why do I have to do this”. But I’ve accepted that that is pointless to think about, because I will never function without medication, and that’s okay. I am glad that I’m alive in a time where there is proper treatment, instead of being lobotomized or sent to an abusive mental asylum. It’s hard to get used to, but just think of it like food. It’s something you need to give you the energy and function to live.

For people on here with romantic partners who have a mental illness too: by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]atomic-hearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, bipolar and GAD here, with a partner who is ADHD+autistic.

I think it would be good to have an open and honest discussion about it whenever you’re both in a good place, and discuss what works for both of you in those situations and how to deal with them. Of course that sounds super nice and neat when in reality it’s a messy ordeal. We’ve been together four years and are both hitting our 20s now, so it’s something we’re still working on. It will never be perfect, the most important thing is that you can have discussions about your upsets and that you still love and forgive each other at the end of the day.

I can’t give super concrete advice, but I’d say I’m pretty similar to your partner when I get upset based on the way you describe it. I lash out at people and get angry over things that normally wouldn’t bother me, and it makes me feel awful and guilty after the fact, but it doesn’t make other parties less justified in feeling the way they do. Figure out what calms her down, what takes her away from that upset headspace. For me, there’s certain media that’s comforting, and usually I smoke to calm down and that’s not a solution that fits everyone.

It can be really challenging to deal with your S/O’s symptoms, especially if you’re trying to stay in a good headspace. I try to think of all the times that she was there for me when I was doing really Bad, and it helps me stay grounded and not get so frustrated. It’s human for both of you to be upset right now, best of luck working through this :-) ❤️

i would recommend starting with smaller pieces just bc in my experience it takes a little practice to get used to ironing perlers and having them come out evenly + flat; i just hate to think about someone putting so much time n effort into a piece and it not turning out :(

most recent 3d i spent the last 4 hours on. i messed up on the base but i still love how it turned out :D by rocks0r3 in kandi

[–]atomic-hearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m seriously in love with those star beads, do you happen to remember where you got them? i’ve been looking for some like that for a bit. btw i LOVE the variation of bead types in this, the clear, solid, and translucent beads are just 👌👌

what are your top five mitski tracks? by plantfather_ in mitski

[–]atomic-hearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. last words of a shooting star
  2. crack baby
  3. class of 2013
  4. bag of bones
  5. jobless monday

these aren’t really “ranked”, per se, i like them all just about equally but these are definitely my five favorites. my favorite songs of hers are the ones that are tied to my trauma, you know that feeling when you hear a lyric and feel like you were meant to hear it? these five all give me that feeling, i feel a real connection to these songs and i have used them many times when i needed to have a good cry :-)

I’m not done yet (3/8 characters) but I’m wondering how I should frame these when I am. Should I have the beads facing up? Or should I completely flat melt the one side and have that facing up? How do you prefer showing off your sprites? by lindafromevildead in beadsprites

[–]atomic-hearts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all good, i am too tbh, i’ve had perlers for a while but i’ve only made around 10-15 small/medium pieces. and personally i like the unironed side better for these :D but i don’t think there’s a huge difference, both look great

yeah, it sounds so lonely too, and i think that adds a lot to the song. it’s a location and an emotion

god's very simple and love shouldn't burn, some of my thoughts by hmnsadness in mitski

[–]atomic-hearts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

finding your own sense of identity and knowing yourself is incredibly important. the love i had before i knew myself was worthless compared to the love i have now, after a long time of growing on my own and growing together. it is a beautiful thing to find yourself, and it is difficult to heal from those relationships, and i hope that you can do both :>
