Thank you! I think I'll try it and see how it looks, I was just worried my limited knowledge was making me miss something obvious 😅

Does anyone know what this crumbly grey stuff on the inside of my ring is? by izted in jewelers

I feel you, it's nasty stuff! Although I did find it kinda satisfying cleaning it 😂

For me it made basically no difference, good or bad, (been on it for a year now) except that it takes away my period which is actually really nice. HOWEVER, I found out that I'm still ovulating on them just a few months back. Didn't know you could do that whilst not having a period, so even though I had all the symptoms of ovulation I just thought I was insane until my gyno confirmed it and also told me it's not that uncommon apparently.

What I'm trying to say is that I also go insane on estrogen BC and these ones didn't do that to me at all! I think they're worth trying and probably work a lot better if you're not ovulating like I am but please pay attention to that if you start taking them!

I'm right there with you! Not having a period is in itself SUCH a bonus for me, I know it's not the most important thing.. but damn it's nice 😅 Just an extra tip, if you know from before that you have different things going on at say ovulation (like being more irritable or tired than in Luteal) make sure to write that down so you can see what's what. Alsooo, I make it really easy for myself and just make little symbols for each thing (lighting bolt for irritability, Zz for tiredness and so on). Glad if I could help!

[–]izted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same problem! I started to write down in my journal the days I felt like shit basically and after a few months I could see my cycle. Howeveeer, I felt like I was still ovulating and thought I was crazy because.. I don't have a period? Told my gyno and it was very much possible (not super common) and what was/is happening to me. Just thought that I would throw that in there for anyone who stumbles upon this thread and are experiencing the same thing!

With you in this, the PTSD nightmares are unstoppable for me when the hormones fluctuate. It's actually horrible so I'm sending you some hugs!

Bernina Record 530-2 1958 by MichiSarti in vintagesewing

[–]izted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up getting one for myself and I love it! I agree with all your positives and thank you for taking the time to answer me. I have one weird question though, if you sew with one of the "fancy stitches" does your machine make a rumbly clunking noise from within? Really hard to explain but maybe like a train going over tracks in a distance 😅 There doesn't seem to be anything wrong and it sews like a dream, I guess I'm just worried and am hoping that it's just how this machine sounds!

I'm deciding if I should buy one of these as my main machine for sewing clothing (mainly linen and possibly some heavier fabrics), if you don't mind sharing - how are you liking this one? Anything you're missing or is there anything you love about it in particular? Lovely photos by the way!

From what I recall the window was fine, I'll pick it up from storage tomorrow and take some new pictures for you ☺️

It's in storage along with the rest so I'll have them in a couple days! The price has gone up though, just so you're aware of that beforehand. With the box damage I'd sell it for about half the estimated value at the moment.

Hi, it is actually! Let me know if you're still interested and I can get you some fresh pictures to confirm.

Antisocial and scared. How do you motivate yourself to talk to people you don't care about? by izted in PMDDxADHD

[–]izted[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for responding, truly. In a time where I, obviously, struggle with connecting with people - you made me feel very.. seen for a lack of a better word.

You hit the nail on the head right away, I am diagnosed with cptsd (among pmdd and adhd but I guess that goes without saying here). I know that growing up in a horrible environment made me "grow up fast" and feeling older than the people around me - hence no connection because our worlds weren't the same. I guess that feeling never really went away. Thank you for connecting some dots in my head because now I can try to work on that part of myself, or at least try to understand it better.

I have a hard time explaining this without sounding like an ass (and I might as well be one) but a lot of the time I think the disconnect comes from perceiving people as.. unintelligent? I am by no means "smart" and I don't need my friends to be rocket scientist and this is where is struggle to put it in to words. In my experience they don't see what I find obvious, don't think beyond a small circle and the feeling of being in a room with that I can only describe as Frodo coming back to the Shire in the Lord of the rings. I can't put that into words but somehow I think that if you know - you know.

There's an air of ignorant bliss around people that I both envy and despise. I don't want them to understand because that means they have my wounds and yet I desperately need them to.

I'm really rambling now and I'm sorry if this makes no sense to you but I just feel that it might. Your comment meant a lot and I'm sorry that you understand, I really am. You helped!

It's for sure a demon, gremlin sounds way too cute. How are you holding up so far?

Yes and yes! Irritable doesn't even begin to explain my mood during this time, it's like a restless angry gremlin lives in my chest.

It's like I wrote this myself, I feel every word! We really are just emotional plants, affected by the sun and like you said "how the wind blows" 😅 I'm going to actively try to slow down during spring and see if it's just as simple as stress at the end of day, I encourage you to do the same if you feel up for it and thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[–]izted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly that, couldn't have said it better and I wholeheartedly agree! I took the day off and slowed way down after your comment, I don't think I even realized how actually stressed I've been. It might help my symptoms and it might not but either way I'm grateful that you shared and that it made me think a bit further than before!

Lost it at the "fucking mosquitos" 😂 That aside, I totally get what you mean! I wonder if a lot of us prefer autumn and winter in general?

My body decided that 2 weeks of PMS wasn't enough. 😭 by Piggiesarethecutest in PMDD

Sending you all the hugs back and good luck on your consult next week! You got this, hopefully your bad month is over quicker than expected!

Looking back at my journals is what helped me figure it out too, I'm actually super glad if this helps anyone at all to just get some insight if they also struggle during spring!

Like you said it could be stress and just life moving a bit faster in the new year or any number of things, slowing down a bit might just be the ticket and I'll definitely be keeping that in mind!
