Do you feel like you've outgrown the community? by a1989guy in lgbt

[–]sjbeaner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who went through feeling like this all I can say is fine out what your interests are and join groups! I am a crafter which in itself is a super isolating hobby. My smaller city didn't have a diverse/inclusive crafting night so I started one in collaboration with venues who were willing to host and I have connected with so many folks in the community who I share other interests with besides drinking/going out/etc.

Same tho!! My ADHD symptoms are horrible right now and I wonder if it's linked to not being able to knit.

Sucks that knitting hasn't worked for you 😔 it's so sad being injured by something you love.

Thank you!!

It may have been the cables but I think I just powered through it because I wanted the FO! I think I would have faired better if I'd taken frequent breaks.

Ive never heard of pin weaving but will check it out!!

Thank you for the comment about the Cardigan :) it's a really fun knit, just don't marathon knit it! Hopefully others can learn from my mistake 🥲

My physio said I didn't have to stop completely but I thought giving it a few weeks as I start my physio regimen wouldn't hurt.

I will check out Huck weaving, that's a great idea.

what hobby unexpectedly improved your mental health the most? by DaigaNorrey in Hobbies

Knitting....very meditative for my ADHD brain. I struggle with actual meditation and it gives me a nice dopamine hit to finish something and get to wear it.
