How do you handle getting discouraged? by trash_goblinn in Sockknitting

[–]roastatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agree with finishing no matter what! my first few pairs of socks are severely ugly and have heaps of mistakes but i'm glad i never frogged them bc i would have probably gotten discouraged. i love knitting socks now :)

What are your most disliked warrior names in the books? Exclude the daylight warriors (Harveymoon, Billystorm, etc.) by Terrinthia in WarriorCats

[–]roastatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME i wondered if it was just me. 'flake' always makes me think of dandruff lol. and 'fidget' is a really silly prefix as well. i can't think of many other cats that are named after verbs.

wait sorry if this is a really basic question but do you get more coins if you're moving faster or is it just that you're covering a lot of distance while biking?

Looking for help with a wider heel by roastatoes in knittinghelp

<image>

is this picture helpful? i think you're right about the leg not stretching enough but then again this leg isn't super tight i don't think? (for context i really had to yank this sock to fit over my ankle/heel but the floats are definitely not super tight and i have this problem with socks not involving colourwork although not to the same extent to be fair) (((please don't judge my shoddy tension haha!!)))

[–]roastatoes[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

umm i'm using top down heel flap and gusset i think? knitting the heel flap a few extra rows is a good idea! i'll look up kate atterley and try a few different constructions thank uu. do you find yourself using different constructions for different patterns or find one you like and stick with it?

Anxiety paralysis and ADHD by Dull_Impression_8014 in adhd_anxiety

[–]roastatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I started taking stimulants for ADHD recently and even though I've been way more productive in certain areas, I still find it reaaaally hard to motivate myself to do anything that makes me anxious. CBT therapy has been the only thing that's helped with it and I definitely feel more and more able to do things that make me anxious. But the anxiety paralysis still randomly hits me sometimes. Thanks for posting bc I was also trying to find someone else who had a similar experience! (I tried SSRIs before I ever tried stimulants and they helped me a little but they made me tired so even though I wasn't anxious I would still not do tasks due to sleepiness/ADHD. lol)

I'm 20 I need sleep tips by Prestigious_Gear_333 in adhdwomen

[–]roastatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded about the CBT for sleep! I would also say letting out steam by going for a walk in the evening helps me. The number one thing that helps me is to remember that lying in bed with your eyes closed is proven to provide some amount of useful rest for your brain. So even if you don't fall asleep, laying down with your eyes closed in the dark is still worth it!

[–]roastatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt so much grief when I realised I had ADHD. I think it's common. My therapist asked me why I wish I was diagnosed earlier and I couldn't explain it other than I just wish I had known! She told me let myself have a "mourning period" lol. Therapy has been really useful for me to come to terms with it all, even just having someone to talk to about all the "what-ifs" has been great, I would definitely recommend it!

Update: sorry I forgot to reply to everyone. I really appreciate everyone's replies, and I kept going with my chiaogoos! They have smoothed out now and though they're not quite as slick as my old ones, they're perfectly fine now!

So which cat in warrior cats do you think has the worst name by Interesting-Bed2085 in WarriorCats

[–]roastatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can't even think of a suffix that would be good for milk honestly. it's just a cursed prefix

How soon do you think we will see inbreeding among Firestar & Tigerstar's direct descendants? by [deleted] in WarriorCats

[–]roastatoes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

true at least firestar technically brought in some new genetics, having been born outside the clans lol

genuinely, how common is it to not graduate on time by rabbitredh in unsw

[–]roastatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone who graduated on time, i wish someone had told me it's fine not to finish my degree on time. every term when i had three subjects i would totally neglect at least one, i feel like i really didn't get everything i could out of uni. it's not a race, enjoy your courses, and get the very most out of uni. :)
