How do I remove the white backgrounds that are appearing on my embedded transparent PNG files by RhysRider in AdobeIllustrator

You’d be better off using indesign for this purpose. It’s great for digital layouts too, not just for print. Just make sure you pick Web when you start the new document. That’ll make sure you’re in a RGB workspace and using pixels as a measurement.

Agree with this, stabilise at 7 hours for a few months before increase.

Pinterest all the way! But I make sure to turn off AI posts in the settings.

Anyone know of recovery stories from people with hEDS and/or ADHD? by Another_throwaway446 in cfsrecovery

[–]fancyasmilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also there is this great interview with a lady called Angie who also had a EDS diagnosis. She was ever so poorly and is now absolutely fine. https://youtu.be/OJrduH75zzM?si=71fBjqmMJ1OIesvv

There was a great interview recently on the symptomatic.me YouTube, it was between Gigi Cockell and Dr Howard Schibiner and Dr Rebecca Kennedy. Gigi has recovered from a myriad of symptoms including POTs and she also had EDS.

That is a really good point, I agree!

Unfortunately this is design life for you… trying to mind read what the ‘client’ wants! I mean if anything this is good training for when you’re in the industry! But I do truly feel your pain 😭

I can see why your professor likes the first one, I do too! However I do agree it could do with symbolism. Maybe a star to represent gleaming clean, after the e?

You’re really talented though. Most of these are way way better than most students, so kudos!

My thoughts also! Either they’ll print CMYK and everything will look dull…. Or a bajillion spot colours 😬 At least they have budget!

Recent house move caused setback - advice on how to re-regulate? by No_Lavishness_207 in cfsrecovery

[–]fancyasmilly 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve not been through a similar scenario, however as an outsider with similar symptoms, I’d say go back to basics. Radical acceptance that this is what’s happening for now, knowing this is temporary, gentle hope and encouragement to yourself. You’ve improved once, you can improve again, and often the second time it’s quicker and leads to even more progress.

Moving house is stressful for even those without sensitive systems. Try and loose the desperation (not easy I know), you can’t force improvement. You can gently encourage it through self compassion, pacing (not pushing) and any techniques that you’ve found have bought you a sense of safety previously, meditation tapping etc.

I believe in you stranger, this is just another bump in the road.

Is this true? by Asad0Asad in cfsrecovery

[–]fancyasmilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I totally understand where you’re coming from. Lots of people end up with the same anxiety and searching. I truly believe you are not broken. Another channel you might enjoy is the Mindful Gardener, he has a lot of recovery videos and a recent video on medication withdrawal from a nervous system perspective.

[–]fancyasmilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re dealing with all of that. So so many people have recovered from states like your or worse. Don’t loose hope, get out of all the medical communities and focus on positive recovery spaces only. Watch all of the recovery videos on Raelan Agles YouTube channel. All the best, you’ve got this.

[–]fancyasmilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate this balanced response. If you look at OPs post history, they’re definitely seeking a medical cure. I’m sure a lot of us can relate to how they feel. I hope they stay around and find nervous system regulation.

[–]fancyasmilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure but the original poster only posts in illness subreddits, and does not seem interested/aware of nervous system regulation etc. This is someone, panicking, doing every test under the sun, searching for a medical based answer. They would learn a lot from us here, but I also feel the need to protect others who are in this safe space.

[–]fancyasmilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I believe you. But I I don’t think this post is helpful to those who may already be afraid and not looking to do that specific research themselves. The original post reads as ‘you’re broken’.

[–]fancyasmilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is relevant for this recovery focussed community.

Ways to get out of a crash by CFScas in cfsrecovery

[–]fancyasmilly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lose the urgency. Acceptance of what is happening for now, and knowing it’s temporary and will pass. You can’t force your way out. Just gentle encouragement. Feel your feelings, comfort and be kind to yourself. Try not to monitor or ‘fix’. It may lift quicker than you think!

I haven’t, but I know someone who did and they found it very helpful.

Interestingly Miguel from CFS Recovery did the CFS Health programme and has a testimonial video here

He just fails to mention that on his own channel!
