@Pelontrix: from what I understand there's a lot of trial and error involved with any and all those kinds of diagnoses... but if you're not feeling quite right, it's an important process to go through.


@Koah: lol. Yeah, I understand that feeling but your imagery is amusing! I'm glad the heater isn't still stressing you out!
Temps and humidity are rising here too... Along with the pollen counts /dead/. We are officially in spring- you can feel it in the air.

@Wildfire: it's also trial and error with medications. i got lucky that on my first try, zoloft decided to actually work for me, lol.
citalopram gave me the urge to bounce my leg 24/7.


@Koah: do you have misophonia related to the noise of your heater kicking on and off?

@Pelontrix: yes, that's part of what I meant in terms of the process taking time - it's a combination of medicines as well as diagnoses and some medicines are intense! I'm glad you quickly found something that works for you!

@Wildfire: oh no! Your poor sinuses. But I'm glad you're headed into spring. You can focus on your garden without worrying about random frosty nights.


@Pelontrix: I'm sensitive to sound. I've learned to work with it. I had to look up misophonia, it's an accurate description of how I feel about sound. When I can't handle all the noise, I've learned to focus on one thing. It was hard to do at first, but now it's a natural response, especially in coffee shops or busy spaces of any kind.
my heater/ac for my house is loud and I also associate it with losing money. XD

@Wildfire: yeah. the citalopram gave me a lot of energy, felt a lot like what caffeine's been described as.
the zoloft actually makes me really fuckin sleepy, haha.


@Koah: wheezes in 'CALLED IT!'
you might wanna look into noise-cancelling headphones, since those help to block out noise.
personally, if there's background noise, i literally will not be able to hear what's being said to me. iirc it's a specific kind of hearing loss relating to the synapses in the ears.

@Koah: the thing about gardening in spring though? It's outside... WITH all the pollen! XD But yes, the chance of frost is less than usual (and it's never very high here to begin with!)


@Pelontrix: so choice of wired or sleepy...

@Wildfire: not really, i was taken off of citalopram a while back bc i was put on it thanks to a mix-up. i didn't have any allergic reactions or anything, but i guess it's a decent backup.

i have pulled all-nighters before even while on zoloft. staying in bed for a good portion of the night helps me a lot in regards to actually staying up all night. i might pull one tonight in order to catch up with some work tbh.

@Pelontrix: at least you know how you react to the drug... if nothing else.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do ... whether that's staying up all night to get work done, or something else.

@Wildfire: i tend to over think often and i always think "more lines the better"
but since i am now getting into painting it's getting confusing...
The simple one is closest to my [comic style.]

I'm trying to have better and more simple options with my art so with these freebies
i can practice the new styles.
But i like how it came out so far. other than the hand pose lol.
I do not have a ref for it so i am kinda guessing

Currently working on this piece. Not a freebie but redoing an old sticker concept.
[X]
I really like how it's coming out.

@Pelontrix: My household is aggressively loud with huskies, veterans, and kids. I've learned the cope in the last couple of years. XD
growing up, my dad noticed my unresponsive demeanor when there was a lot of noise. So he always had a noise-canceling headset for me. Cx


@Wildfire: OH yes, right. Not great being outside in that. lol! I feel like we had these exact convos last spring. lol

I'm busy today trying to get my property line figured out. Previous owner had some 'grandfathered' in privileges that might f--- us over if we decide to sell. :T

@Pelontrix: LOL - yeah, the really big pills can be a pain to take - there are some that are so big there's just no "getting used to" swallowing them. I'm glad you're no longer having to deal with pills of that size :3
Kid noises are things you get used to if you have kids of your own, or if you're around them a lot... but yeah... they're special kinds of noises...


@MoodyB: Oh - the "comic style" is cute! Definitely simpler, but it's good and it should give you more options to get more work done and 'out there' :3 And you're revisiting some of your old artwork - that can be quite a learning experience. I'm glad you like how it's coming out - it has a very different vibe than the last couple of things you've shown me. :3


@Koah: lol - we probably did have the same conversation last Spring. I love this weather... but omg all the pollen!
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about the previous owner's "grandfathered in" property privileges. I'm guessing you didn't know about this when you bought it. I hope it's nothing too severe.

Good morning.

@Wildfire: good Morning.
I should probably switch to tea, coffee isn't tasting good anymore. <.<

Our previous owners built the house right on the property line, sparing no room. The neighbors and my husband assessed the line and it's bad. The 'main' door we use to go in and out of our house- the property line touches it.
So no fence in our future, it seems. This is a mess we'll have to sort out in the next couple years.
The line cuts through our driveway aswell. On the edge, but still, we use those areas as parking since our property was advertised as that space being ours.

Anyway, Good morning. It's a new day. How are you?

@Wildfire: i actually still take the horse pills for my acne, just keep forgetting to.
i dry swallow them, too, because i am not sane(tm).


@Koah: i am on energy drinks and only energy drinks because i like energy drinks. can't stand coffee or tea, personally, though that might change as my tastebuds do.

@Koah: Oh... ouch! How was that ever determined to be a good thing or a reasonable property line... and how was that not conveyed to you guys when you were looking at the house? That sounds like a real mess. I really hope you can get it sorted out easily and quickly :3

Yes, it's a new day, and mine is busy... busier than expected. I have some work to do on my site (coding & graphics, etc.) which I'm about to tackle now, I have an appointment for a haircut this afternoon (kind of like the trees, etc., my hair has suddenly decided to just explode with its growth XD ), I just did some grocery shopping (ugh $$$), and now I have to vacuum the house because I am taking my Mom to "Sunken Gardens" tomorrow and instead of me picking her up then going, she has decided to come here and the house is overdue for some attention... it's Spring in the house too because it's covered with shedded dog hair ...and dog toys (because a certain lab mix keeps dragging ALL of them out of their "toy box" XD )...

@Wildfire: absolutely not downing these with water because the last time i tried downing them with a liquid, i ended up choking.
pain in the ass.

also, no, not doing much at the moment other than fucking off over to the job center on the seventh of march. appointment with the DWP got cancelled, probably because they don't think i'm disabled enough without a proper diagnosis of whatever the fuck. (i'm diagnosed with depression, still waiting to see a specialist about the ADHD shit). the benefit of that is that i don't have to worry about having a fucking appointment with some big scary guberment official that i don't know shit about, right after an appointment with the mental health nurse.

i forgot to ask for a sick note, so i'm probably going to have to ask for one if i can get another appointment.

@Pelontrix: lol. I used to live off of mountain dew, I hated coffee and tea.
Then I had a tooth fall apart while I was talking to someone, little pieces of my tooth just trickled into my hand. o_o'
I quit mountain dew and energy drinks that night. XD I had to switch to a new caffeine. I hated coffee, but now I crave it. My tooth is fixed and all that.


@Wildfire: Our property line was wrongly advertised to us. :c so it's going to be a fight with our realtor. :x
I feel you on the dog hair! my huskies are taking turns shedding. The only one not shedding right now is the one that sheds the worst. o_e I'm sure his coat will start shedding soon.
Sounds like you're going to have fun tomorrow though. C:

I keep debating on doing anything with my hair. but.. I know my hormones are a mess right now and I don't want to make decisions while I might not be 100% myself. XDD
