Our school has a Senior Night so they handle all the awards that evening. That way, if you don't have a senior, you aren't caught in a situation you don't want to be in. You are correct how you feel.
Yay. I am not good at bling, but I do try. Please know you are a good person. I feel the exact same way and agree with what you were sharing. I know I have bound of depression but I have never done anything for it. Love this wip and chat😊
sending you love and light ~ hugs
Hi Kate! Nay on blinging up my canvases. I think it would be fun to try, but just not sure if I want to go down that rabbit hole with another collection of accessories. LOL
Mostly nay. I've added fairy dust or crystals to kits that were charted before those were available, but usually prefer to just stick with the charting from the professionals!
Sending lots of love. ❤ Mental health swings are a real trip, but you're valid and amazing.
I’m sorry you were having a tough week, it’s important to remember it’s ok to not be ok!
I’m a nay, people with more talent, skill & expertise than me have created these beautiful paintings so I stick with them as charted (however if the charting wants to mega bling it up, I’m more than ok with it 😆)
Take care & hope you have a better week ❤️
I'm late with my answer but life happened lol it's taken me about a week to actually finish this WIP and chat, but nay I use diamond painting to relax and enjoy doing what's charted. That's not to say I never will be for now the charted is best for me
I would do canvas as is..would always second guess my choices
My heart goes out to you with your struggles this week. ❤ Here’s to kinder words and more understanding in the coming days. When you mentioned Casey looking like he was going to faint while onstage sitting down, I immediately thought of it being a vasovagal syncope episode. There can be many triggers, not just the sight of blood or injury. In a case where someone is already prone to generalized anxiety, being onstage for a prolonged period of time with an entire audience watching, loud noises, public pressure with no escape, it could definitely be triggering to his vagus nerve. An easy method to test whether he can kick himself out of that symptom spiral is to carry individual isopropyl alcohol wipes (like what they use to clean your skin before an injection) in his pocket. If he starts feeling like his heart is pounding or like the walls are closing in, open it and smell it. The alcohol short circuits the vagus response and helps you to not pass out.
Also, yay! I just recently got into blinging out my canvases and am currently working on erikathegoober’s “Stardust” and I’m adding 10-12 enhancement drills. Ever since watching Alysa’s (@TheDiamondStitcher) video where she did slivers in the rain of Rainy Day (?) by Hannah Lynn I absolutely loved the look, so I’m adding slivers and sliverettes, some “sparklers” and Pixie Dust drills to really make it look like raindrops and puddles of water behind the main subject of the piece. ❤
His dad has actually fainted before from a vasovagal syncope, but just once! I gave Casey an alcohol wipe packet to keep with him and told him to open and take a whiff if he feels faint again. Thank you for that tip! Hopefully it helps. 🤞
I agree with you on the choir performance. As someone who has a teen and an almost 6 yr old who has to sit thru things to support her sister they should have separated to two nights so the seniors could have their own moment. I’m also an introvert and would rather be home though. I love special drills but alway do them as charted only so far
Yeah it’s a lot to ask of the families who aren’t involved with the seniors I think!
I related so much to your thoughts and feelings in this video. I also feel the same no one really cares that much for me. I had friends do the same and to this day I have problems trusting people. My inbox is always open if you are struggling. I’ve been through a lot of things in my short life.
I’m so sorry you can relate :( I hate that our brains insist on making us feel like no one cares despite any evidence to the contrary.
Hmm...I occasionally add "bling" to kits, but I generally stick with the way it's charted. I'm not creative enough to get the placement right, and I always make it look weird haha
I relate to so very much of what you said today! Most of my strongest relationships have tapered off a bit due to time and distance (and me being bad at reaching out). Those best relationships always grew out of proximity--in grade school and even college you see people regularly so it's easily to enjoy life and make plans to do things. I even lived with some of those people for a time. But now that I'm an adult, it's sooo much harder to cultivate relationships and know which ones will stick.
No for me on blinging canvases. I don't want to think that hard about it!
Oh! and as a once choir kid, I agree--that was totally unnecessary!
I keep remembering things you talked about! I also got to meet Nathanael Mortensen at the USA Jigsaw Nationals and he is a lovely human. I love puzzling his artwork and am glad they're coming to DAC! I need to pick up some of the minis from amazon.
It was definitely much easier to make and keep friends back when I was in school! That forced proximity can’t be beat, lol
You have to try pineapple with chicken on pizza an add curry powder on it... delicous 🤩
I absolutely enjoy bling on my canvas but I like it charted for me. I enjoy turning off my brain (decision-making being a huge part of that) and just placing my drills. I totally feel for your son at his concert. I agree, 3 hours is a very long concert then to be followed by senior awards. That’s just too much! 💜💚🩷
Hello! Alt account for Mernerd here. It sounds like you and I are having a lot of the same mental struggles lately. I also have friends that I was close to that I don't talk to anymore and now I don't really have any close friends. I know what it's like trying to find where the line between sharing enough and oversharing. Also, the guilt and self-questioning that comes after oversharing. I almost bought Stargazing but I've been on a no buying streak due to limited funds so I just wishlisted it. The stories about your son in choir brought me back to the days when I was in multiple choirs and fun fact, the first thing that I went to school for was opera and music education with the intent of being a high school choir teacher. I agree that the senior stuff should have been a separate event. Also, as far as your yay or nay, I would have to be a nay. I love how it looks when other people do it but my ocd will not let me do it. That being said I did purchase Big Sis by Ivy Dolomore with the sole intent of changing a lot of it to reflect my gaming style and hair, but that will be a project for much later down the line.
I’m sorry you’re having some of the same struggles! I definitely don’t wish these feelings on anyone. I loved choir back in high school me college and really wish I could find an adult one to join in my area. I’ve looked but nothing other than church choirs seems to exist around here. How cool that you wanted to be a choir teacher! I definitely wouldn’t have the patience for that, hehehe.
I can relate to your feelings about not wanting to burden your friends or even family with mental health stuff 100%. I usually just try and sort out my feelings on my own. But I agree that it’s sad to feel like you don’t have someone who cares enough that you feel like you can go to them with your feelings. It’s nice to vent about things, but I get so in my head about telling someone, I think to myself “they probably think I’m just complaining or being overly sensitive” so I just keep it to myself. I hope you get to feeling better soon ❤ remember to be kind to yourself and have positive affirmations 😊
About the nay or yay, at this time it’s a nay for me, just because I’m not too confident on picking the right spots to bling up, but I want to try it out one of these days 😅
Your thoughts about venting are exactly what goes through my mind too! So frustrating and isolating. I keep working on telling myself it’s ok to open up more to people who have shown themselves to be trustworthy, but my brain still has trouble with it. :/
Kate, I think the mental bus has been full lately. Being alone this summer with my kids in Utah, having car problems getting them there(I'm still driving a rental) just feeling lonely and like I don't want to burden anybody with my struggles.
Yay on blinging and re-rendering canvases. I don't go overboard, but I'll pick specific things to enhance. Also for whatever reason, I end up re-rendering faces a lot. I did on Pink Mermaid, Artemisa, and currently in my WIP Fairy Lights. I also mostly just enhance my kids with ppl and not so much landscapes
Sounds like you’ve been going through it! I hope things ease up soon. ❤️
Hugs on the mental health struggle bus ❤
I know how you feel about truth and abandoned issues... I have BPD, emotional wreak at your service 😂
I love adding special drills, well you seen your unicorn 🦄 😊
Stay strong 💪 ❤
I’m so sorry you can relate! They’re not fun issues to deal with, for sure. ❤️
Oh I know how that feels I really hate my depression and anxiety I was diagnosed in 2018 my heart goes out to you ❤ I’ll be praying for you 😢 and its hard when a friend you were really close with just stop contacting you , I’m kinda going through something similar she only calls when she’s not busy with work or anything and thats fine I just kinda feel in the dark right now by her diamond painting really helps my anxiety and depression. Currently working on Witch Bedroom from DAC and nay on this week question
Diamond painting has helped me a lot with my mental health too! I hate when sometimes my depression makes it so I can’t diamond paint…I feel like it compounds the issue because I can’t do the thing that usually helps me cope, lol.
Nay...I do as the chart says but I'm still new and just not comfortable yet blinging things up..maybe eventually
Something that might be worth to take a look at is dysautonomia, or a type of it, I have a type of it and in me it started to present itself in other ways but one of the main stmptoms in most people is precisely fainting!
I totally get the depressive feelings and getting in too deep about personal things, I've also been Ghosted a few times by friends, but my closest ones have stayed, which I appreciate immensely!
I started The three body problem last week, but haven0t gotten back to it, i've been on my series and youtube binge and haven't read that much at all hehe
Nay here, I've thought about it but I don't think I'll be good at it, I prefer to work with what I'm already given
Wow…he actually has a lot of the symptoms listed for dysautonomia! Thank you, I’d never heard of that. I will definitely talk to his doctor about it!
@@DPandDP it is getting more common now, but not many people know about it, it took me ages to even consider that and I am in the medical field! definitely worth taking a look into it, I hope it helps!
I'd be upset with the senior stuff also. I know it would be rude to get up and leave when all of that started but I'd be very tempted to. 😅
Oh the crying randomly happens to me too. My bf will ask what's wrong and I usually don't have an answer. I'm sorry for everything you've been going through recently. We're all here for you and I adore your artwork and I'm so thankful for that and the work you do to bring us beautiful images. 🫂💕
Your talk about friendship hit so close to home. I feel the exact same way and I think part of it is just not wanting to be a burden and afraid that if you reach out too much people just pull away. I probably really need to go to therapy. 😅
Nay! Having to figure out what to put where is too much. Plus not blinging keeps me from spending more money. 😂
Thank you for your understanding comment! 🫂
I'm so sorry to hear that you have been struggling with your depression lately. It's such a difficult thing to go through when you feel like you are going through it alone. I wish that you felt like you had someone that you could be completely open with. I have a lot of the same thoughts and feelings as you do about friendships. I've come to a point in my life that you either like me or you don't. I don't want to tone down who I am to make people more comfortable when it makes me uncomfortable. Sometimes I feel sad about not having people in my life but if I have to pretend they weren't really my people anyway. I'm different then a lot of people but at least I'm true to myself now. I no longer give pieces of myself to people just to collect friends. I love myself more now and I think that is what changed for me. I do hope that we all have the friendships that you talked about in movies. I think that everyone deserves that kind of love from a friend. Maybe because it's so special it just takes a little more time. For the question of the day, I tend to want my diamond painting to be just the way the artist intended it to be.
I wish my brain wasn’t this way. I know there are people out there (like you!) who would probably be happy to let me vent when I need to. And yet my brain just won’t get past “don’t bother them with that, they have enough of their own stuff going on!” It’s mostly self-inflicted, lol.
Could be vasovagal Syncopy or /and vasovagal pre Syncopy as I have it and triggers are different for it
Thanks for being so vulnerable. I feel the exact same way about friendships and second guessing my words all the time. Good to know I’m not alone. I’m a yay this week. I love making the canvas my own by adding some extra bling. I just added 4 fairy dust to my Primrose canvas and it looks spectacular!
Thank you for listening and understanding!
Yeah, that choir situation is weird. They should have had a separate ceremony/performance for the senior choir but I too am a grumpy, introverted hermit, so I'm not sure my opinion would make a difference 😂
Saaaame tho, lol
Nay for me I always diamond paint as charted. Too scared of messing up my painting to be honest.
{{{hugs}}} ❤
Nay…I think the company works hard to bring the painting to life using just the right amount of bling. The drills have enough shine and I don’t think it’s necessary to add more. Plus, working with ABs can be a pain in the patootie. Sorry you are feeling the things you are feeling. Might be time to talk to a professional about your issues and get some perspective from them. Maybe you already do…I don’t know. I enjoy your wip & chats regardless of you feeling up or down.
Thank you so much
