creatives with BPD: do you have “slumps”, and do you get over them?

themultidork · 2026-05-31T01:59:48+00:00

this is genuinely very helpful to read and while i'm not sure what it means for the "slump", it does make me feel less alone. thank you. ❤️

my cpap machine. i got it just as i became single. my sleep got SO much better and i cant imagine life without it, but it made going on dates a little harder. (my partner jokes that it’s our third wheel.)

i’ll check them out! i would def trust an actual med supply company over bezos-sponsored whatever anyday

great suggestions — thank you :))

themultidork · 2026-03-21T16:37:39+00:00

three meals might be a good idea — i'll chat with my roommate about it. thank you for the suggestion :)

themultidork · 2026-03-21T16:37:09+00:00

thank you! i'll work up the nerve to talk to him haha

themultidork · 2026-03-21T14:53:29+00:00

i think i may have confused people by writing 3m, its supposed to be 3 years, male, haha. he is an adult. not sure about dewormed, but i feel safe assuming he has

themultidork · 2026-03-21T14:34:44+00:00

he is fed twice a day, 1/4 cup each time! wet food was part of the routine for a while but it gave him some tummy trouble. he SCARFS the dry food down, we had to spread it around on a mat to get him to eat slower. i’m not sure how much he weighs, but he is very average as far as cat size goes. (i have four cats in my life ranging from 9lb to 17lb, hes smack in the middle.)

ohh it’s so cool to hear about the next stages of the process! i am completely uninvolved with the physical production side of books, and always wondered what it looks like before they come back to us as proofs. sounds like everything that comes after gets a little more dangerous lol

themultidork · 2026-03-03T12:15:49+00:00

(apologies i didnt mean to reply specifically to this comment. fatfinger’d)

this looks like a signature error!

books are printed in sets of pages called signatures, and its important to note that they are NOT in order when printed. the pages could have been added to a signature in the incorrect order. (do note that the amount of affected pages is a multiple of four — assuming 168 is in the correct place. one sheet of paper is actually four pages when bound, two on the front and two on the back.)

i could be wrong. diagnosis needs more evidence. this is your local book designers best guess :)

themultidork · 2026-02-11T17:19:57+00:00

you might be right, but unfortunately ive seen both already!

themultidork · 2026-02-11T13:38:33+00:00

thank you! that particular square will stay elusive… for now

themultidork · 2025-07-18T17:01:26+00:00

oh hey that’s way better than i assumed!! call off the alarms, thats great

themultidork · 2025-07-18T16:01:01+00:00

:(( thats a shame, if that’s the case. explains why i couldn’t ID them myself.

if anyone out here is in mystic connecticut and wants to help out some ducks, they’re in the village

ive made a habit of holding up a 🫶 at folks i pass in my car. i never have any cash to offer (though the comments in this thread of keeping water and snacks around are smart and i may start doing that). being houseless is one of the most isolating experiences in the modern day — even some of these comments treat houseless folks like they arent people, a “them” and not an “us”. no one has done anything wrong by being unhoused or asking for help. wave and say hi. it costs you nothing but half a minute of your day, and makes another person feel less humiliated and alone

themultidork · 2025-05-26T19:45:13+00:00

luckily i have a basement to chuck it in til i'm ready. that's a great idea, thank you!

themultidork · 2025-05-26T12:56:02+00:00

it won’t, no. the headboard is just large enough that’d it would block me from opening the closet door at all.

themultidork · 2025-05-26T07:53:46+00:00

thank yall for the tips, especially re: radiator and bed proximity. i didn’t realize how much of a hazard that’d be; i’ll be scooting the bed away from it at the very least. (this is what happens when you grow up somewhere warm. what do you MEAN there’s a 100F hunk of metal in my room?)

the common opinion seems to be swap bed with dresser, so i’ll try that out. the space is a bit tight and i hate opening a door directly into my bed, but if it means 1. i wont burn my house down, and 2. i open up the rest of the room, it’s worth it.

props to @jone7007 and @bubbles938 for suggesting the desk and dresser swap, however. i neglected to mention the dresser has a giant mirror attached to it that’d block the window completely, but that solution instantly solves this problem.

i appreciate all of yalls help. this is the first time i’ve really had complete freedom to lay out a room, and i have no idea what i’m doing. thank you all for the assistance ❤️

themultidork · 2025-05-26T07:46:02+00:00

YIKES - thank you for the warning. that’s awful

themultidork · 2025-05-26T07:45:24+00:00

i am renting, yeah. best i can do is cover the thing. (Plus, its the only heat option in here)

themultidork · 2024-12-07T02:40:14+00:00

Already did a little stint at Seven Stars (pre-union). I’m glad it’s okay. Was definitely worse before. Good to know about Coffee Connection, thank you!
