This is my first lidded container ever. I left it to dry while I went to work, and when I got home the lid had dried much faster than the pot (duh) and so attaching the handle was risky I know, it was a little past leather hard. Anyways, now its cracking what can I do?
I have days where I completely agree with the diagnosis, and then when I feel good I think it must have all been fake. This is my mood tracker since I started tracking it a few months ago. Is this too fast of cycling for Bipolar 2? Does this look like anyone else's experience in this sub? The key, what each color means, is at the bottom.
Blue: depressed
Yellow: hypo
Green: baseline
Red: total rage nonstop for no reason
Ask me to make a ½ pound or 1 pound bowl/cup/cylinder and I'm on the major struggle bus. But 2-3 lbs? Much much easier. Why is that?
Also, I know this isnt perfect, I see where there is still a wobble at the bottom, but this is the first time making anything with 4 lbs and it turned out okay🥹 (I fixed the rim right after the picture) using my little cheapy Vevor 10 inch wheel lol.
I have a small pottery wheel at my house, and my own assortment of underglazes and glazes that I have been buying over the last 5 months. I use kilnshare to fire my pieces.
Anyways, I looked at the only pottery studio within an hour of my house. It seems like a lot of money for basically nothing? But maybe Im new to the scene and this is normal.
The membership details:
-$179/month
-Included: 24 hour studio, wheel, underglazes, dipping glazes.
-Not included: clay (bought seperately), kiln (seperate charge, based on weight).
I knew that clay would most likely not be included, and thats fine, but still having to pay to use the kiln threw me off. If thats still a separate charge, then what is the $179 for? Basically just the underglaze and glazes? Idk, again, my expectations might have been off, so correct me if this is totally normal.
My therapist has STRONGLY suspected for a year now that I have a mood disorder (Bipolar 2). My therapist wants me to go get an assessment done, but I can not get clear information for how this works. Last year I went to a psychiatrist and talked for 45 minutes, she put me on medicine, and then I was only supposed to see her for 20 minutes a month after that.
But thats not the type of assessment I want. I want *whatever it is called* when it last a couple of sessions, you do all kinds of assessments and interviews and stuff, and then in the end they write a report and give you a diagnosis (if appicable). I want the whole shebang. What is this called? Who do I have to see to have this type of assessment done? My therapist admitted that she does not really know how this process works, aside from doing her part to provide a referral if I need one.
Ive been getting the run around for months. I need helppp
My session starts at 1pm. I honestly dont know what time its supposed to end. 1:50? 1:55? Either way, I know she has a 2pm appointment that is always waiting in the waiting room when I walk out. The problem is that me and the therapist typically dont end until 2:01-2:07 usually. I'm worried that her other client is going to be irritated or frustrated with her because we never end before her next session is supposed to start. What am I supposed to do? She doesn't have a clock where I can see it in session, its on the desk behind me so that she can see it.
TW: Mention of death threats, kidnapping, etc. Nothing super specific.
I was 19 he was 27. My ex denied our child (calling her his God daughter or other things), emotionally abused me, financially abused me, threatened to pay for someone to kill me, isolated me hours away from my family, threatened to kidnap our child if I tried to leave and take her with me, gaslit me, used threats of abandoning me to get me to comply, had his family help to "keep me in line", I left with a suitcase without telling him, etc. And honestly I did not realize the weight of it until 6 years later at 26 years old (I'm now 27, the age he was). Now that I am married, stable, more kids, financially secure, etc.....it's all hit me now. Is that common? I dont know what to do with all of this. Up until a year ago I would have denied that I was abused with everything in me. It didn't even cross my mind, it was a ridiculous idea. And now honestly just this week I have finally admitted that it was abuse. And I don't know what to do with all of this.
