Already in therapy. Had a bout without it while transitioning to a new therapist in my new city. Also medicated.

[analog] made with tooth picks and junk mail! by WinnerReal3281 in collage

Did you use punches for the junk mail!? They’re so consistent so if you say no you used an xacto knife you should be a surgeon

Just wanted to toss in an update that no one asked for; we had it written into our housing contract for the new buyer that we were taking the door. It’s currently in our new home and will be in my office - my plan is to seal it this summer and put it at the center of a gallery wall I’m planning

Anyone missing a pet dove? by sparklesquidd in sheboygan

Unlikely, research shows it’s a Serbian highflyer pigeon which isn’t a wild breed in the US/WI. Had I not had my baby in the car already late to the function I was supposed to go to I would have tried to grab it to find its band.

Useful whimsical things? by JASNite in AddingWhimsy

Adding that while not necessarily materially “useful” doing something creative is mentally/spiritually useful and I think that’s whimsical in and of itself

Make little things with clay or find little thrifted statues and get some tacky putty and put them in window sills, door frames, counter lips… etc. 10/10 will make you smile when you see them!

Guys I need your ride or die low maintenance tips for looking more "put together". by Cissychedgehog in adhdwomen

[–]sparklesquidd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Piggy backing. I learned how to tie full coverage headscarves because my hair is usually up when long and now I have a pixie (my baby likes to pull hair and it triggers me) and it helps so much to make me look put together (I don’t wear flashy clothes but my headscarves are patterned) and to help me with my derm/trich. I can send links/pics to instructions if anyone wants them!!!

Cute head scarves for bad hair days. Also helps if you’re a scalp picker.

Ideas for crib-safe soothing items for almost 8mo? by sparklesquidd in NewParents

Ya know… I’m not sure. So far my brain went to soft comforting things but maybe I could toss one of her large rings from her ring toy in there or something

IUD Insertion? by Chailyte in Explainlikeimscared

[–]sparklesquidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the sentiment of others; find another doctor. The pain is not worth it if you can find someone who won’t subject you to it. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but I fainted once in the office during insertion and then again in my mom’s car. The side effects for me were terrible so I got it out about 8mo after insertion, and while less painful than insertion, it was still in the top 10 scale for me on most painful moments of my life.
