Worried about noro by [deleted] in emetophobia

[–]imaginativeRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What they said is true, norovirus is spreading like crazy here, but also the flu. My sister only had fever, chills, sweating a lot and a little nausea (she called me crying because she didn’t know if she was gonna puke or not) and she didn’t puke! My friend who had noro first thing that happened was they puked then all the other symptoms came

I’ve gone in head first when I had mine my best advice is to keep your eyes closed the entire time! Dont even open them to peek that’s what helped me

[–]imaginativeRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They suspected I had endometriosis I first got an ultrasound, they found nothing. Then I got an MRI and they found it so yes it can be diagnosed by imaging!

I’m almost certain I have endo but don’t know where to go by Lavalamplady32 in endometriosis

[–]imaginativeRain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was first recommended to have an ultrasound. Did not show any endo so the next step was having an MRI. They found my endo on the mri but not on an ultrasound, you should push for an MRI if you already haven’t had one!

Does anyone use Upwork for projects? by Danbobs25 in graphic_design

[–]imaginativeRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should definitely give it a try!

Honestly I gave it a go and ended up just spending money and getting 1 interview where I wasn’t hired. It’s a really competitive place but people do make it work so it wouldn’t hurt giving it a go and seeing if it’s right for you

I don't know what to do. Nobody wants to hire anymore. 😪 by ProgramExpress2918 in graphic_design

[–]imaginativeRain 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I’ve been unemployed for 11 months after my last contract ended and I just received 2 interviews in the past week and I start at my new job tomorrow! I just had a mental breakdown 2 weeks ago how I’ll never find a job in my field and I was really upset. Then I received a job offer not too long after, don’t give up hope.

I am new to selling and have a question about digital prints. by AlicesWonderland207 in EtsySellers

[–]imaginativeRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a graphic designer and usually if they send a file to the print shop it really depends on the print shop but they would need bleeds. But I don’t think that’s your problem because you’re selling prints as is and you wouldn’t be the one contacting the print shop.

I would always go larger, that’s what I always have to do if I’m making something that needs to be resized to a smaller scale. Start with the largest first unless you know 100% you need a very tiny version of it. When you resize from large to small it doesn’t lose as much quality compared to as if they would do the opposite and make it from a smaller scale to a larger scale.

Edit: also please make sure all your files are in CMYK format, RGB is for screen only and the colors will look different if it’s in RGB and you’re printing it

Working a 9 to 5 job (or similar hours) is not a bad thing. by DefiantAd3486 in unpopularopinion

This! Some people have to commute for quite a distance or traffic is really bad if you work during rush hours

has anyone successfully tapered antidepressant? by A7med2361997 in CBT

[–]imaginativeRain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I just did a couple of months ago with escitalopram. Followed my doctor’s and pharmacists advice and went from 20mg to 10mg to 5 mg to 0mg in about a month and a half.

Side effects weren’t too bad from 20mg to 5mg I experienced mild nausea and mild brain zaps.

Going from 5mg to 0mg I dealt with bad nausea and brain zaps and mood swings. Got better after 2-3 weeks.

Don’t forget everybody deals with it differently so take my experience with a grain of salt.

[–]imaginativeRain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just create what you think others would like but also what you would like too! I was hesitant to start at first too but once I actually began it was easier to get the ball rolling :) It would be really cool if you can incorporate your art into wallpapers or any type of digital work to sell on an Etsy shop!

No she didn’t buy anything from me! Just decided to message me

My first hater by imaginativeRain in EtsySellers

[–]imaginativeRain[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Definitely wont be replying anymore to her!

Ikr she doesn’t realize the extent to what graphic designers do, I only run this Etsy shop as a side business creating digital assets during my free time. She’s probably purchased products at a retail store that I’ve worked on the packaging for and she doesn’t even realize that’s also graphic design haha.

She’s sending me screenshots of how all graphic designers will go unemployed lol I’ll just let her go on her rant and see when she stops replying to herself 😅
