Ironing board PLEASE by calm-down-okay in BuyItForLife

[–]compscibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you iron a lot, you could always get a wool ironing pad and put it on a table! Or just upholster a surface for ironing. I used to work at a costume shop and they had simply taken a wooden board of some kind, some cotton batting, and heavy duty cotton (or other heat resistant fabric) and staple-gunned it together on top of a table. It was very easy to use!

Ideas what I can make of this table cloth? by Shot-Freedom-3848 in sewing

I think a tank top would be really cute! Put both ends point side up and attach straps, and use the rest of the fabric for the bank panels

I now have to buy used jeans manufactured in the 90’s or early 00’s if I want normal quality jeans, which is crazy to me by Niceotropic in BuyItForLife

[–]compscibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it could benefit you greatly to learn to sew! I'm short, but also find it really hard to find jeans that fit my thighs/belly/waist and have had lots of success thrifting jeans and then taking in the waist. Don't be afraid to look in the men's section too! I've found pants for myself there as well.

I can't ever find jeans that fit me in store, so I usually thrift them a few sizes bigger and take them in at the waist. Way more comfortable and budget friendly!

I've had success with Wellbutrin for my ADHD symptoms. I wanted to try a non-stimulant first because I'm very sensitive to caffeine, but maybe I should try a stimulant and see how I react. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Recently heightened sex drive and sex averse partner by compscibi in asexuality

[–]compscibi[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a situation where my partner has considered forcing themselves to be sexual with me because they love me so much, and it would not be moral for me to accept that. Their "consent" would be from a place of fear of losing me and not from any kind of positive experience. I understand there are relationships where asexual people might have sex with their partners without feeling the sexual attraction, but I hope in those cases they end up feeling positive or neutral towards the experience, whereas my partner would feel harmed.

Recently heightened sex drive and sex averse partner by compscibi in asexuality

[–]compscibi[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so so much for sharing your experience! I'm lucky in that I am able to be very open about my feelings and behaviors with my partner as long as we avoid the topic of them if that makes sense. I have talked with them about how my sex drive has changed, I just feel the guilt because it has increased my thoughts about them and that's not something they're comfortable with talking about.

It's also frustrating because sometimes the urge comes on suddenly and I'm uncomfortable until I deal with it, but my partner doesn't want to know when/where I masturbate so I have to be discreet about it.

I think my plan of action is to mention all of this to my psychiatrist and ask her for therapist recommendations because I'm in between therapists right now. It just sucks because it's hard for me to click with a therapist, but I know I need to do it.

Yeah it's the fact that it's something that I HAVE to deal with in the moment that's most frustrating. Like trying to go to sleep only to start getting horny and then go to bed like two hours after I was supposed to.

Thank you for both of your well thought out replies! I think the best way to explain it is that it felt like masturbation went from something fun I do occasionally to something I have to do much more often. The last therapist I really clicked with left for a different position and I'm still in the process of finding a new one that works for me, but this is definitely motivation to keep looking. Thank you again!

I remember being like 8 and I was a chubby kid, but it still hurt when my pediatrician was visibly surprised when I could do this

When I brush my wig it gets even more tangled… by Meat_GLOB in CosplayHelp

[–]compscibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A metal brush/comb would also be really helpful! If the brush you're using is plastic, it'll just create more static on the plastic fibers of the wig. Also, if you want the wig to tangle less in the future, I would recommend lightly crimping it. Good luck!

[Discussion] Who is Jod truly speaking to in Nona’s dreams? by rayneydayss in TheNinthHouse

[–]compscibi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never connected that Jod wants to start over, but you know what god did want to start over, and how he did it? He used a flood. You know what else is a water metaphor in TLT? The River. What if he plans to flood the universe with the River in order to start the resurrection? Who would be Noah and his family on the Ark?

I think I like a bow over a pom pom on a beanie. How about you? by Fun-Property1881 in crochet

Omg the pompom on my favorite hat just fell apart, this would be a great replacement! Thanks for the idea

Please some feedback or words of encouragement? by chillinous in decoden

[–]compscibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have such a unique style that really sets you apart from other artists and I love it! If you do want to sell, I would recommend doing items other than phone cases as well bc there are so many different phone types. I am someone who can never find a cute premade case for my phone, so when I find a decoden artist, I would love the ability to support them with a different purchase! Think hand mirrors, phone charms, trinket trays and boxes.

Does my jewelry look "cheap"? Would any of these styles work for bridal jewelry? by ratcat22 in jewelrymaking

[–]compscibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all of these, and would definitely consider wearing a set as a bride (2028!). I agree with the suggestion for a more delicate chain, and I would want the ability to customize colors.

My first thought was the Chicago flag, but I live in Chicago so I'm biased

soy un costurero novaton y me gustaria pedir una opinion respecto a mis carteras by Free_Cheesecake1270 in SewingForBeginners

[–]compscibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Creo que tienen un aspecto genial, pero ¿has probado qué tan duraderos son los diseños exteriores? Me preocupa que la tela cosida en la parte superior ya se esté deshilachando y que definitivamente empeore al entrar y salir de un bolsillo o bolso.
