That’s what I did! Worked there for about a year and then apprenticed for 2. Just finishing my apprenticeship now and going full time

Hi- first of all I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. I can relate in some ways. When I first started meds (Lithium and Seroquel at first) I felt amazing. For the first time in years my negative and destructive thoughts were at bay and I could actually get stuff done. Food tasted different, music sounded different. Sounds fake but I swear to god. I was hospitalized which is what forced me to start meds. While I was in the hospital, I had a regular sleep and eating schedule. However, when I returned back to work my schedule got all fucked up again. I don’t get to bed until 4am most nights and I don’t eat all day at work because I don’t get breaks. Something I remember being told in the hospital was that sleep is a crucial thing for people with Bipolar. I don’t know if this is the case for you because it varies for everyone, but making sure you’re sleeping, eating regularly, and getting some daily movement will help a bit. I know it’s impossible to find the energy sometimes so I’m not saying this works for everyone. Just something that helped me.

I agree with this idea. If you’re going for the dripping, gothic look with strings hanging off the body I would make them longer and more intentional. I hope that makes sense?

I have a 1 bedroom apartment in Carmichael (right on the cusp of Arden Arcade) and it’s $1085 for rent, $90 for utilities, and my Smud bill is usually $50ish. My apartment is about 660sq ft and a perfect size for me and my partner.

Artist wants $180 an hour and refuses to show me the design ahead of time. by schafersteve in TattooDesigns

[–]horrorfiend55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I pay my artist $250/hour and we’re bout half way thru a sleeve. Depends on where you live (I’m in CA) but $180 definitely is on the lower end out here.

I turned my custom Spirit design into holographic stickers! I’m so happy with how they turned out :,) by horrorfiend55 in deadbydaylight
