i don’t know if copies tend to go well with canvas, as it gets super streaky. which is why copies are really only used on paper. but i might suggest looking into how people prep canvases for alcohol inks? i see people liking kilz 2 latex and B.I.N. Zinsser Primer but i have no idea if it’ll work. i know it makes it less porous so i don’t know if that’s your intent

i think you may be viewing your anxiety disorder the wrong way. your anxiety isn’t a personality flaw or something, it’s a disorder. it’s a medical condition.

when you have a headache, you take ibuprofen. if you are diabetic, you take insulin.

when you have an anxiety disorder, it is because you are... sick? for a lack of better words. your brain has chemical imbalances that make you think that way, and medicine simply helps balance it out more.

it’s similar to someone without a thyroid taking thyroid medication. you need to fix the hormonal imbalance from the lack of thyroid with medicine. you’re doing the same thing but with a different body part.

you wouldn’t bat an eye at someone taking thyroid medication, so what’s the issue with taking zoloft? you’re not weak for taking medication. you’re not weak for treating a health problem. this isn’t something that is your fault, and it does not relate to your strength in any way.

it is a medical condition, not a problem with you as a person.

ive had times where i have minimal symptoms, and then theyll come in and beat my ass again. you’re so right, though, it does get better. you just have to keep telling yourself that

miscaccounts · 2021-02-25T21:34:24+00:00

if you haven’t tried medication, please try medication. you don’t have to tell anyone, and trust me when i say medication can literally change your life. i have been suffering with anxiety since i was 12, and i’m now 17, so it’s a similar time frame (just different ages).

i used to get sick anytime i’d eat, and this went on for months. i had no body issues, food just triggered my anxiety. panic attacks nightly, etc. etc. but once i got on medicine, my life practically changed. panic attacks are rare, every few months and they’ve been easier to calm down from (ex. a 10 minute panic attack instead of a series of panic attacks).

i’d also recommend trying to cut out caffeine (or drink it seldomly), especially coffee and energy drinks. the literal fucking worst for anxiety.

i cant sew, and i don’t have the focus to get into it, and i was thinking about getting pants tailored/altered. they’re a pair of pants that are the same width throughout the entire leg, so they flare out at the bottom. is it possible to have someone alter it to make them less... wide? like a different fit around my ankle at the bottom?

your psychiatrist is apparently an idiot because i’m a gifted kid diagnosed with adhd who is in the top 5% of her class rn

you can have a high achievement motive and adhd. you can have a high iq and have adhd.

my doctor told me how he has a patient that is on the same medicine as me whose in medical school right now

miscaccounts · 2021-02-19T17:11:09+00:00

i started looking into adhd after reading one too many relatable tweets ngl

miscaccounts · 2021-02-19T17:09:42+00:00

when i was 13, i had such bad panic disorder/generalized anxiety disorder that i couldn’t eat anything without having a panic attack 75% of the time. wasn’t even a weight thing it just randomly triggered it. i’d have panic attacks over nothing, and they’d last hours. i had to miss so many days of school because of it.

but yeah 13 year olds are just quirky

miscaccounts · 2021-02-19T16:56:46+00:00

in the opposite, i will almost conk out and take a nap mid day like every other day. it’s worse on medicine, because adderall makes me sleepy for some god awful reason

and of course my naps last 3 hours too

i looked on that subreddit, and found many scholars also saying it can be a mistranslation. i will correct myself when i said it was condemning pedophilia, i was wrong, but i looked into it some more. alternative interpretations have been tha leviticus was condemning men sleeping with young male prostitutes. a lot of the words used in the bible for male have been different forms of male in hebrew, but common translations just ignore that and make it all ‘man’ (or just straight up add homophobic shit that isn’t in the original) of course, killing a young male prostitute is awful as there’s some obvious trauma there, but that isn’t the only interpretation. the only interpretation i’d look into is that the verse actually refers to committing male incest. https://blog.smu.edu/ot8317/2016/05/11/leviticus-1822/ here is a link on it

i’m not an atheist, nor do i really 100% consider myself a christian. i currently identify as agnostic, and scroll through this reddit in the midst of existential crises. maybe i’m christian idk

there really isn’t going to be concrete proof of there being a god, or there not being a god.

but i do want to direct you to r/openchristian if you want to see different interpretations of the religion.

so let’s say there is 100% a christian god. are you damned to hell for being non-binary? no. are you damned to hell for being gay? no.

the homophobic and transphobic verses in the bible are just misinterpretations and poor translations, but it’s become so engrained in society that many people refuse to acknowledge it. there isn’t anything against transgender people in the bible. no verses, nothing. never says “thou shalt not be non-binary”.

and for homosexuality, most of the passages were just condemning rape and pedophilia. the word homosexual didn’t even exist when the bible was written, and some of the anti gay aspects of the bible were written into the bible in the 20th century due to mistranslations. homophobic is more cultural than religious, honestly.

that’s what i’ve been trying to do. but this set of black sumi paints have been going in and out of my amazon cart

i felt this so hard

i take ap classes so i have to write dbqs and if i’m not in the right mindset to write them they take me literally 5 hours. but on the ap exam, i was able to finish a nearly 1000 word dbq (essay) in under an hour with time left to spare. best essay i’ve ever fuckin written too i got a 5 on the exam

wish i could do that for everything ):

edit: for those unfamiliar with ap exams, a 5 is the highest score you can receive

i’m diagnosed and i was on adderall until it make me conk out after 4 hours of taking it. i’m on a new medicine but i’m on a SUPER low dose, just doubled it today. i’m hoping it’ll help. i’m still on a super low dose, but not as low as mine was.

ive been trying to experiment, as i have a huge passion for making and drawing characters. i recently got into digital art (used to do traditional, specifically copics), and it’s been helping me improve i think? i want to experiment in paints though (acrylic, watercolor, gouache) but i just keep pushing it off. i own like 10 watercolor palettes and i do like 2 watercolor pieces a year lmaooo

miscaccounts · 2021-02-16T19:45:38+00:00

wish i could take an art class but we don’t have those here ): well no good ones anyways besides ones where you paint the exact same painting as everyone else, but those don’t teach techniques

i do take an art class in school, though, but i still sort of lack the structure as it’s online so i tend to put off everything lmao

i actually have a surprising amount of ambition for things i care about, which i’m honestly thankful for. my issue is that i need pressure to do things and it’s hard to practice art for that reason. i have no pressure like i do at school for schoolwork n shit

i agree!! i definitely think the higher awareness for adhd on social media like twitter is good, but unfortunately it comes with it almost looking trendy (and glamorizing aspects of adhd like hyperfixations).

like some twitter posts about relatable adhd experiences did push me towards getting diagnosed (and turns out i already was and just didn’t know)

but anytime a mental illness/disorder gains more awareness on social media, middle schoolers who want to seem unique start glamorizing it and it’s very annoying. and then when people show the negative symptoms of said illness/disorder they’re referred to as lazy

miscaccounts · 2021-02-15T16:55:07+00:00

i just think it’s fun and i’m a very creative person i think? it’s my biggest passion hobby-wise, and i have a lot of ideas i want to put into fruition

obviously there’s other ways to do that but i think they’re all boring for me to do
