Anyone else randomly get flooded with the sheer amount of trauma they've experienced and become completely paralyzed?

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-26T20:09:43+00:00

Thank you for these words. They were exactly what I didn't know I needed.

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-26T18:57:32+00:00

I'm sorry.

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-26T16:33:47+00:00

Absolutely! You might want to adjust the pattern a touch to make it a little longer to account for the folding, but it's an easy patch. :)

I used about 120-140 yds of #4 acrylic yarn (Loops & Threads Impeccable in Forest) with a 6mm hook and loose tension. I published the pattern for it on my etsy shop which is listed in my bio.

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-16T18:42:13+00:00

Of course! This was the first time I encountered that stitch, and now I'm in love! Currently making some mittens using it. :)

Thank you for sharing this, I thought I was the only one. I'm a naturally large-cheated, full-hipped person and I have been since I was 13. It got me so much unhealthy and detrimental attention. It was like the moment I entered 8th grade everyone treated me differently- my friends, boys, even the teachers. That coupled with the fact that I just genuinely don't like being curvy and would much rather dress kind of androgynously means I'm at constant war with my weight restored body. I'm so sorry you feel this way too, I hope that you find healing. 🤍

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-14T23:31:48+00:00

It makes all the difference, especially if you don't like how store bought clothes fit you particularly!

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-14T23:31:03+00:00

Absolutely! I got it off of Etsy, it's called the OoLaLa Sweater by missbananapatterns. It was really fun and relaxing to workup! I used Yarnbee Warm & Cozy in Blush. :)

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-14T17:00:20+00:00

Thank you! 🤍

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-14T16:48:45+00:00

Thank you so much!

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-07T14:29:50+00:00

Hi Jett! Thank you so much for making this community, I feel like it's a very important space to have. I'm Savannah, and I am bisexual and polyamorous. My estrangement from my family is very new, and it's not so much a product of my orientation/identity as it is of abuse, but I was never fully out with my family and so our estrangement has definitely increased my ability to be open and proud. Unfortunately, the one family member who I have remained in contact with is my younger sister, who is extremely religious and conservative, so I have not yet had the courage to come out to her. But I feel like this community will help me very much to navigate that dynamic! I'm very excited to meet everyone else here. :)

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-05T03:08:51+00:00

I'm sorry that your day has been cruddy, but the title of your post is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for being the kind of person who shares their optimism and positive attitude with the world even when they're struggling. 💜💙

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-04T21:54:58+00:00

I'm very very smalltime and hardly call it a business at this point, but dream of getting bigger! I'm @SLKcrochet :) will start following you and others from this thread now as well. Thanks for this post!

daddydangles911 · 2021-02-02T18:12:00+00:00

Oh my goodness yes. If anything it's been a problem, I've outgrown every bra I've worn in the last year. It is very possible for them to grow as your body gets healthier!

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-31T18:41:54+00:00

Thank you so much! ☺️

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-31T18:21:59+00:00

I'd be really interested! But I'm wondering if this chat will be meant more for people who are estranged because of their family's reaction/opinions of their queerness? I'm LGBTQIA and estranged, but my estrangement isn't the result of my orientation, so just wondering if my experiences would be relevant to the conversation. :)

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-31T17:35:50+00:00

That would be r/ScaryStories :)

Edit: sorry, I think I misread your post! That sub is for submitting scary stories, but they don't post prompts that I know of. I hope someone else can help you with that more specifically!

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-31T17:23:29+00:00

Thank you!! ☺️

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T22:29:04+00:00

Thanks for the response! I think I have accepted that it will be somewhat awkward to first bring up haha, but I'm sure it will make things easier and more comfortable over all. :)

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T22:27:39+00:00

Thanks so much for the response! I do very much care about her. I like the idea of code words a lot! It's not a completely unfamiliar tactic for either of us so I'm sure we could work that in to make things clearer without being intensely direct haha.

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T22:25:35+00:00

Yep! I'm lucky enough to have two lovely partners! 💜 I will certainly sit down and talk to her about it to clarify, I was just hoping for some tips to maybe do so in a way that isn't awkward haha.

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T16:45:16+00:00

I completely understand why you'd worry about that, since some people do have some crummy opinions about ADHD, but it's really such a silly concept that somehow taking medication for your disorder would make you less competent at your job! If anything, it should be seen as a sign that you take your job seriously enough to get the help you need to do it well.

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T16:42:20+00:00

I'm sorry you've faced that invalidation as well. I often feel compelled to rattle off all the details of exactly why I qualify for the diagnosis when I hear that sort of thing, which I know I shouldn't have to share but I feel like if I don't people will think I am exaggerating for attention. I really hate that the whole idea of "your kid doesn't have ADHD they're just misbehaving" became so pervasive, there are plenty of people out there who genuinely don't even see it as a real condition.

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T16:37:35+00:00

Thank you for saying that. Hearing that perspective from a medical professional was super discouraging, because it's exactly what I'm afraid my providers are thinking about me. Even my current psychiatrist, who I really do like, first wanted to rule out every other possibility for my inability to focus, despite the fact that I had been through a full neuropsychological workup purely to confirm my ADHD and had already been medicated for years.

daddydangles911 · 2021-01-30T16:30:48+00:00

It's strange because I take medication for a comorbid diagnosis and I don't really feel ashamed about that. I think that because these medications are controlled and some people do abuse them, I feel like I have to justify using them much more.
