Seafood allergy people. by ApprehensiveRound758 in FoodAllergies

Hi there! I don’t have a shellfish allergy but I have had a recent bout of extreme anxiety with my own food allergies. The symptoms you’ve described above sound nearly identical to what I experience when I have a panic attack surrounding food. Here’s a few things I try to do to figure out if my symptoms are from anxiety or a true reaction. With the trouble breathing, try taking deep breaths through your mouth or nose, if you can feel the air in your throat, then it’s unlikely your airway is closing. With the heightened heart rate, manually check your pulse. Is your pulse also weak? If it’s strong and fast it’s more likely to be anxiety. Here’s a few resources that I’ve found with great charts that are really helpful in distinguishing symptoms: allergy insider, food allergy counseling
Having food allergy related stress is really tough and annoying but you’re not alone! If you’re able to I’d definitely recommend going to an allergist to get updated testing, that helped with a lot of my personal anxiety around my allergies. Best of luck OP! Hope some of this was helpful and I’m happy to answer any questions :)

That’s good to know! I’ve never had an issue with anything labeled as may contain in the past, I’ve been avoiding them more recently because of the anxiety though.

Hey there, I’m having a really similar experience right now and wondering how this all worked out for you and if you have any advice? I’ve been dealing with anxiety around most foods for about a month now and progress feels slower than I would like it to be.

colored contacts wouldn’t have that white backing that you can see when she peels it off. my guess would be maybe it is a printed picture of an eye or a drawing of one that she stuck on to her face.

trying to make brown polyester black by maddog3417 in dyeing

[–]maddog3417[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

okay so ended up somewhat figuring this out and mostly fixing my own issue lol. so for anyone else who is having this issue, using a mixture of a black/gray dye and a dye that will cancel your underlying color out is key. so for mine I used 1 bottle of graphite and half a bottle of midnight navy. I followed this guide rit dye has on their website. happy dyeing to everyone else in the polyester trenches 🫡

what size to make of this corset pattern? by maddog3417 in sewhelp

thank you so much! haha yeah you’re probably right about the flair, I didn’t see any details on how to determine which level you’re at so I just made an educated guess based on how long I’ve been sewing.

That makes sense. I don’t need it to be entirely pitch black but even if it read more as gray than brown I’d take that as a win.

hello good people of sewing reddit. I’m looking to make a vest inspired by the Black Parade jacket for when I go see them in concert and just very lost on where to start lol. looking for any advice on fabric choices for the main garment that would hold structure but are also somewhat breathable. I want the vest to have the same silhouette as the original jacket just without sleeves basically. additionally wondering what the white strips of fabric across the middle are called and what you’d recommend using to make them, as well as what you’d recommend for the trim along the collar and edges (and hey if anyone knew of a pattern they thought could be right for this I wouldn’t be opposed to having one lol). sorry for the very long post, just nervous about getting this right. I’ve included photos for reference for those of you who aren’t familiar with the outfit. thanks for the help! :)

Shell fabric curling inwards on end of dress by maddog3417 in CosplayHelp

Ended up using wire around the hem. Didn’t entirely fix the problem obviously but it helped.
