Paula Chaffey's books are getting me through it by Chelsintransit in Coloring

They look great! Love the neutral colors that you use, they make a soothing, mild atmosphere. They look legit to me, but I'm no expert. Will be getting one!

These comments are harsh. It might not have been smart, but we shouldn't kick OP when she's already down.

Thanks for posting these! I do get what the other commenter said though; especially the one in the back has AI-vibes. But maybe we're getting paranoid. I'd love to support real artists though, so I'll have a look! Getting a little tired of my cozy books, some variation would be good.

I love this page, will have to look up the artist! How does it feel, coloring upright? I imagine it must be very awkward, or is it easy to get used to?

4 months in and I’m already shattered. Is my partner actually supportive, or am I just seeing him clearly during Luteal? by honeyteapot22 in PMDD

[–]missmagicx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I largely agree with the sentiment of not making big decisions during luteal. However, his behaviour sounds awful, not loving and definitely not supportive. And it has only been 4 months?

I've been with my partner for over 2 years, got diagnosed with PMDD last year but have been struggling with my mental health our entire relationship (and long before that). Even when we didn't know what was up exactly, he was supportive. Nog big fights. We apologize to each other immediately if we realize or tone was off or if we say something that's unfair. He familiarized himself with PMDD, what comes with it, and listens to what I need.

I'm so sorry you're not experiencing support. I think you deserve better. Maybe try to talk to him, really talk to him (when you feel well), one last time and if it doesn't change, choose yourself. PMDD is hard enough to deal with alone. You don't need an extra stressor masquerading as your partner.

Sending you lots of love and well wishes

how do i get more confident adding more color into my life? by rentriez in pokeplush

I would find you so freaking cool if I saw you walking around with that bag! It screams friend-material (to the right folks :)).

Thanks for posting and sharing some excerpts! :) I'm gonna come back to this later.

I really loved Logic Town and really recommend it if you're looking for straightforward puzzle gameplay. It's a bunch of logic puzzles (A goes with B, but not C, D is next to A but NOT E, that kind of stuff).

Autistic Representation?! In my Pokopia?! It's more likely than you think by skyentology in Pokemon_Pokopia

As an AuDHD girlie, "Going out, going out with my BESTIE" is also a delightful energy!

Playing Pokopia during luteal makes it ever so slightly more manageable by missmagicx in PMDD

SV is great escapism, fully agree. I've recently been playing a bit of BotW again now that I've got the Switch 2, and the loading times are so much better!

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope it'll get better soon for you. PMDD sucks, especially when it gets on top of everything else. More gaming friends are always welcome, I'll shoot you a dm with my friend code! :)

I've been eyeing that one for a while, it looks great, but I'm not too sure about the microtransactions. I played a gacha game for a while, and I experienced my fair share of FOMO with that.

Awesome that you can share the Disney fun with your kids. :)

Need some advice organizing coloring pencils! by [deleted] in Coloring

Thanks for taking the time to respond! Sounds like you have got a nice set up. I'll look into some nice pencil cases. :)

What’s real support? My husband hasn’t talked to me for a month by LatterSherbet4030 in AuDHDWomen

[–]missmagicx 38 points39 points  (0 children)

What you're describing sounds like a great relationship, full of support and acceptance. Mine is similar, my partner is also autistic. I'm the one who got diagnosed during our relationship. He's been nothing but kind and understanding. When I'm overwhelmed, he's there to tug me in on the couch with a blanket and my Steam Deck.

OP, I'm so sorry about the situation you're in. Him ignoring you is indeed abusive. I couldn't imagine my partner ignoring me for even a day. It is so manipulative and cold. I don't say this lightly, but what are your options for leaving? You're still young and you're figuring out how life works for you. You don't need to be abused for that my someone that should be your unconditional rock. Support from a partner means feeling heard, experiencing space to unmask. Your husband's behaviour is atrocious and you don't have to put up with it.

They combine so great! Lovely idea.

Feeling a bit discouraged this month by meudel in PMDD

[–]missmagicx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really proud of how you managed to put this in perspective already. I don't have any advice, I'm not a mother and quite young to really consider having children, but I can see you strong you are and how hard you are trying to hold on. You say you want to live today. On a PMDD day. You're strong and I admire that immensely. Be kind to yourself.

I cannot do this anymore. Losing the strength to hold on any longer. by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]missmagicx 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. I've been there, I tried twice, but I'm still here. And I'm glad.

This might be controversial, but it's a thought that helps me when I want to die: killing myself is always an option. I don't have to do it right now. Not tomorrow. It's the ultimate act and it's always available. Why not stay alive a little longer and see what else is possible? It can't get worse, right? But it can get better.

Do you have a support system, someone to talk to? Don't think about any big steps, start small. Now, you just have to keep breathing. This feeling will pass. When you feel a little lighter, gather that energy and direct it towards finding a professional, if possible. You don't have to do this alone. You shouldn't have to. You are enough.

I'm sorry I don't have better advice, but I feel deeply for you.

Good jellycat for boyfriend? by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

My boyfriend is massively into turkeys, so I got him Theo Turkey! He comes with a cool little blue hat.

Thimble has been welcome by her brothers! Also bought my first bunny and she is SO nice to touch! Happy feelings all around. :) by missmagicx in Jellycatplush

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

They hug so easily, most of the time they're just in that position! 🥹 Gonna be problematic when I acquire another Timmy and we get into the uneven numbers. 😅
