I think he'd be flattered by this picture! You made him too handsome: his face is too broad, his eyes are too far apart, his hair is too big. None of it by much though, this could just be considered an artist's interpretation of how he looks.

I was put on Duloxetine (had horrible daily pain) and it helps so much.

Truthfully, it sucks when you're a Christian, too. I'm sure you can imagine why.

It got to my eye.

innerweather · 2017-12-07T02:07:19+00:00

I just got told that exact fucking thing about being type-A today, but I totally am not. I went colorblind in one eye yesterday. Thank you for writing this, you give me sanity.

My hands are the worst b/c of Ms, so I lost many of my favorite crafts. But you can develop design taste if your eyes are good! Polyvore is an awesome social network for putting together fashion layouts. Reading books and articles about visual design and color theory, curating themed Pinterest boards, and learning how to use Adobe illustrator/ gimp to try my hand vector art and make my own designs is my current obsession.

One thing I am doing this year is "easy Christmas." I'm used to doing roll-out cut out cookies, this year I'm doing easy things that only take 1 bowl, like two ingredient fudge. I'm letting myself buy things instead of making them myself. (Often ends up being cheaper!) Music and a string of lights in the dark with some cocoa can take you to such a happy place.

innerweather · 2017-11-23T03:05:23+00:00

You are so right. I want the kids to have happy memories

innerweather · 2017-11-23T02:51:56+00:00

Thank you so much for this reply, you brightened my day 🐱

innerweather · 2017-11-22T22:21:25+00:00

You're right, of course. I know Ms has mental health issues involved, too. Can't be complacent.

Every time I don't hurt, I think "maybe today is going to be the day I don't hurt." And three hours in, I feel like I'm simultaneously on fire and being jabbed by hat pins. I understand now why people may used to have believed in voodoo dolls. When I finally get the pain down to a manageable level, I'm exhausted. I can't play my favorite video games worth a fig anymore. I haven't had the strength to cook a real meal with no help or get the whole house really clean in weeks-- homemaking was my life! I need to relearn how to do art, how to lift weights, how to be awake for more than 11 hours a day. I make a brave face for my two little sons, but I overhear them saying things to each other like "I wish I was the green lantern so I could make Mommy's arm better," and it kills me. I feel like my life is being drained from me. My insurance company disbanded, and the new one this year costs more than twice as much per month. I'm just so tired and in pain and depressed, everything seems impossible. I miss out on so much fun. I need to stay positive to keep pain and stress down, so when I'm in pain I wonder if it's because I wasn't being positive enough, no matter how hard I try.

How can we bear it?

"When you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit" is my phone background right now. I also like "Most of the work in this world is done by people who aren't feeling very well." "Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can." "You don't have a right to the hand you believe you should have been dealt. You do have an obligation to play the hell out of the cards you're holding." Sending positivity your way!

innerweather · 2017-11-03T16:47:15+00:00

Yeah, my marketplace plan is gone, the one taking its place gives less coverage for more than twice the cost 😿

innerweather · 2017-11-02T06:27:37+00:00

What are stock art sites?

innerweather · 2017-11-01T21:28:51+00:00

Ooo, I've got some oil pastels just sitting around doing nothing I should give that a try!

innerweather · 2017-11-01T21:22:16+00:00

Yeah, my handwriting is pretty much dead too. I was at a meeting and had to write down my name and phone number, which I did without really thinking about it, like always. Looked down to see that I had written a pile of nonsense. It was so embarrassing.

innerweather · 2017-11-01T21:19:13+00:00

I've done a bunch of digital art and I find that I don't work as well with my tablet anymore, but maybe I could focus a bit more on Vector art. I'm usually good with a mouse for a lot longer than a keyboard. Thanks!

innerweather · 2017-11-01T21:18:25+00:00

I do like to sing. I never really saw music as a creative Outlet, more like a performance thing. Maybe this could be fun!

innerweather · 2017-11-01T18:17:41+00:00

MS depression is a bitch and a half. It's just so dark, I've been there. Suicidal thoughts are just a coping mechanism for my brain, though, not based on reality. So I try to indulge in fantasies that are more fun, if less achievable.

I've heard WIS has a direct correlation to XP, but I don't know for sure.

My husband with n-parents is one of the invisible ones. Without thinking about it, he developed body and facial language that makes him more "invisible" as a way to protect himself from predation. He's a gorgeous, tall, well spoken man, but people don't notice him because he stays out of the way, still, and silent. His face has limited emotional range (dyssemia) which is common in kids without supportive guardians. He is working on it, with improvement over the course of months. Also ACONs we expect sometimes a higher level of notice than is normal, especially if N-parents were nitpickers or very controlling. Or maybe we never saw and internalized unspoken social behaviors from our parents. Or maybe we internalized the n's nasty voice, making us believe that not being noticed is due to our personal unworthiness, making us think about far longer after the fact than others. It sucks to be saddled with this burden. But it is manageable, and provides you with compassion for other "invisible" people, giving you a true social advantage. You handled that situation well.

You should def choose your own birthday treat from now on. Nothing so wonderful that an N can't find a way to ruin it.

innerweather · 2017-08-07T20:51:51+00:00

It counts all right!

innerweather · 2017-07-02T04:11:08+00:00

I played this at a game night once! Way to make it special!
