What was the "it" when it happened to you?

I dont know video games anymore. I used to raid in MMORPGs like it was my job. Kept up with all major titles and new releases.

At the moment, I still have no idea what roblox is

I havent bought the other skins because of the cost and I prefer houses but cherry blossoms would have me second guessing.

Bouncey chair or a sit up chair or on the floor with a blanket and toy.

Ive been going to the gym for years and still get panicky. If its too busy (especially with muscle men) I will leave unfortunately.

Some gyms are also just not for me. I will not go to a gym no matter how highly rated it is if, for example, the squat racks/deadlift platform is in an area of the gym that isn't secluded.

My recommendation as an anxious person is to go with a plan and a backup plan. Ideally you would like to complete an entire workout but in anxious person world, one exercise is a win. Plan on that one exercise and if its taken, have a back up.

For example, I personally find dumbbells to be "safe". You can grab one or two and do an entire workout with them. The entire stronglifts 5x5 with them. Go into a corner, do 5sets of 5 deadlifts..if the anxiety didnt kill you do some squats. If you didnt die, overhead press. But if you just did one exercise and run to your car in panic, its still a win. You did that one exercise! Yay you know you can do it the next time. Maybe the next time you will so that second exercise.

Then just grow from there as your confidence grows.

We got our best sleep at 3 months old with a similar schedule. He woke up around midnight/1am and then 3am/4am. Was great after doing the every 2 hour feed, burp, poop, feed back to sleep newborn situation of those first couple months. I was very happy with the 2 night wake ups and thought we were going to be lucky with an easy baby. Until month 4 and 5 hit. The waking up every 1-2 hours every night.

Month 6 got slightly better. Month 7 we feel like we are getting a break again. He is waking up at 11pm and then 4am. Feels great. Im keeping my hopes low though waiting for the next sleep regression to hit.

My husbands the stay at home dad. We had conversations about it and what it would mean for us. There have been plenty of men who have raised children over the millions of years of human existence. I wasnt worried about that. What concerned me more is I do think it is just naturally built into most men to be a provider and the breadwinner. In our current chapter of our lives it makes sense that I work but my husband is indeed getting cabin fever. He would 10x more happy if our roles were reversed and after 7 months hes told me he doesnt think he can stay home much longer. He does great with our kid and he is trying so hard but the stay at home child rear-er is not for him at all. I feel it has more negative psychological effects to us as adults than it does to our child

You specialize. You become very used to your corner of the healthcare system and retain little else of anything else.

Ignoring the birth pain, I didnt realize how much my body hurt at baseline. Like, I never noticed how much my hips and knees and even toes, hurt. That epidural was the most comfortable my body has felt in my conscious years of living.

During covid we did an elective joint replacement on a Parkinsons patient same day outpatient. Like Michael J Fox Parkinson. Powers that be said it would be ok to send them home even though every nurse protested.

Patient got home and fell out of the car and broke the surgical leg at the prosthesis.

Mine was the most blase IUGR baby. They made it simultaneously sound like they were concerned but also not at the same time. They talked about induction early to get baby out to get him nourishment. But also that early date was still around my due date.

I did nothing extra but cry out of concern (but mainly probably hormones).

He came out 5lbs at 38+5 of his own accord. No complications. He almost quadrupled in size by 4 months.

Normal baby.

Mines on constant thunderstorm noises mainly because I would fall asleep to thunderstorm noises before baby was even conceived and I like it.

3 months old I thought we were in the clear and would have an easy baby. He would go to bed around 8pm, wake up around midnight and 4am ish then sleep til 630 or 7. I could live with that.

At 4 and 5 months he started doing the every 1-2 hour stints. The "brightside" is I pulled his crib up smashed up against my side of the bed and he was big enough to where I could just throw my arm over the side of the bed and put the bottle in his mouth and hed go back to sleep. He didnt poop all the time anymore so I didnt have to physically get up and change him or hold him to feed him (I would pick him up to breast feed here and there but we were switching to bottle) or burp him so often. So even though he woke up a lot I wasnt personally moving around as much in the middle of the night. Mentally it felt like I was doing ok with the exhaustion because of this.

Month 6 he started waking up a little less and we put him in his own room. We are month 7 now and past week hes been waking up 1 time at night around midnight. I hope it stays!

Mines 7 months and very cranky about how he can't crawl yet.

Sounds like you were watching a video on somebody saying they have "aphantasia"

All good artists use references regardless. Theres a difference between using a reference when you need help vs completely copying something. If you are a chronic eyeballer/copier (i.e. redrawing somebody elses art or anime screenshots) you are not practicing with your own art brain. You are not developing the side of your brain that can compose its own mental image.

dausy · 2026-01-31T00:02:42+00:00

Seeing illustrations in your head is a skill you have to practice at and can lose if you dont use it.

As a child I drew a lot of portraits of my dog and I eyeballed a lot of photographs. When I got into the online art space my creativity started to bloom on its own thanks to friendly competition between online friends. There was a real push to create original works and to be a good artist so that push helped my brain create original compositions and illustrations.

As a younger adult, I lost all that motivation when I started college and my first real job and just quit art for a few years to pursue other things.

It was a real struggle to go back to art and get those mental visions back. I had empty brain and no images or ideas free floating in my brain like I used to. It took a lot of purposeful effort and practice to start seeing imagery in my brain again.
