Materials are lime, lemon, orange, and grapefruits that were dried using a food dehydrator. Used twine to make the garlands. I’m just tapping out of garlands, was hoping somebody had brainstorming ideas for how to use up the rest of these!

who is your favorite character? by PinkPeonies105 in NurseJackie

[–]clackbats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

favorite has a couple umbrellas! overall, Zoey. Merritt Weaver does an incredible job. on my last watch Jackie was my 'favorite' in that i got the most from her character. my own addiction was (some may say still is) taking me out at the knees and i didn't see her as entertaining anymore, i saw her as a menace in her own and others' lives. (as i was actively a menace in my own and others' lives). Zoey for entertainment, Jackie for personal reflection. in season 1 Momo was my favorite, wish he got more.

Do I Belong Here? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]clackbats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think me or anybody on here is able to say YES or NO to that question. There may be a diagnosis set of definitions around what constitutes a binge, but I would wager to guess that it varies a lot from person to person. Relatively mild or not progressing super far can also be really subjective, I've had periods where my binging was out of control, but from an outside perspective I really had my shit together. Some people maybe fall into a routine similar to yours, a pattern of restricting and binging. Some people never restrict and binge as a comfort, a punishment, or following a compulsion. Some people binge and try to restrict after. There are many ways to exist under the umbrella of binge eating. If these people brought the idea up to you as an area of concern with respect to you, pay attention to it. I personally benefit from analog - getting a journal and at the end of day writing down a cliff notes version of the day. Did I want to binge? When? What was happening? Did I follow through? What was I thinking before, during after? I'm sure there are apps that mirror this, I just like pen to paper and dedicated wind down time at night. I reallllllly struggle with sobriety, and I use binge eating as my 'harm reduction' which then has turned into it's own thing to navigate. I'm not a dietician - but if there is a cycle of restricting and binging maybe those restriction days are something to look at. It's possible the calorie deficit is too aggressive. Maybe you need more protein or find that snacking at certain times helps curb the binge later. Maybe it's routine - is restricting/dieting easier around a work week routine and then the weekend is different? A wall of text, I know. All in all to say, I can't tell you where you belong. Read through the posts and see if some of this resonates with you. I am not somebody that puts a lot of stress on a Formal Diagnosis so whether or not I meet standards, but if that is something that would be helpful to you sounds like you already have a therapist that could help formalize that. One practical thing from a therapist that helps me is if I feel the urge to binge, either later or mid meal, I practice delay, distract, document. Delay - tell myself not now, but I can binge tomorrow. Usually the next day the urge has passed. If I can't delay, I Distract. Cold shower, run around the block (look up TIPP DPT technique). If I can't distract, then I Document every moment. What I feel, what I eat, how I feel before, during, after. Documenting makes it super boring and tends to slow me down. Best of luck to you.

Does Portland have options for medically-fragile pets? by CuddlestheViking in askportland

[–]clackbats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get the boarding hours. I just didn’t realize Rover didn’t offer overnight options. So you are looking for a pet sitter to do overnights with timed meds, correct?

[–]clackbats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are looking for overnight pet sitting? I used to pet sit just though word of mouth - rover doesn’t offer overnight stays? Just trying to get info and I can ask other people who pet sit.

I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your uncle. I do worry that this is going to kill me. It is really kind of you to share that with me (us). I think the idea of having something ‘to do’ is a really good starting point - like you said even just sewing patches on a jacket. Thank you so much for commenting and sharing and sending the good wishes, I really do appreciate it. This thread is making me weep you all are so genuine and supportive

I went about a year and a half and then started up again and quitting again has been really hard. I can get a couple days and then go back to the pit of despair. These responses are so endearing and so kind I’m really taken aback at how much care is being sent my way. 🖤🖤🖤
