#creativeronica

My life went haywire shortly after I had this idea... I now want to revisit it, along with also using the usually-discarded packaging to create other decorative and/or functional objects, possibly even using the things to upcycle other unwanted items.

"Hiya!

Look, we decided to be heartless jerks change the Quantity Limit on some meds, sooooo..."

"Sorry not sorry, buuut... your kid can only have ONE tablet a day of the medication they need" (even though it's prescribed for TWICE a day). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"Oh, and BTW, if you buy the remainder of the prescription so they can have their second doses... Uh, yeah... don't even think we're going to count that towards your deductible!"

"You know how it sounds like something that should at least go towards your deductible?"

"Well, it's not!" 🤣

*For example, editing a photo for someone you care about?

I often find myself borderline obsessing over doing things "just right," stopping to beat myself up several times throughout the process, because I'm "taking so long," and "can't seem to get it right..."

Even though I'm really tough on myself, I also often get excited and happy about figuring out how to do something, or how to make something work out the way I want for whatever thing I'm doing.

Every time I hyperfocus with this savage level of perfectionism, I feel awful at the end of the day for not spending time on other things. While in the midst of a stretch of these days, I start telling myself every morning that "today will be different," and that "I'll set a reasonable goal this time and make it happen."

But, big surprise - it rarely ever happens.

Current situation:

I've literally spent over 2 weeks editing three photos, spending between 4-8 hours a day working on them, and I'm still not finished with one. 😮‍💨🥺😬😔🤔😵‍💫😩😭

I'm posting this at 2:15ish in the morning because I stayed up late working on the photos, and I've been beating myself up about yet another day of hyperfixation and so many other things left undone. It's pretty bad for my already low sense of self worth. 😔

I've never seen a sensory map for an exhibit or museum, etc. This is really cool. I'm going to this exhibit soon, and while I don't have major issues with sensory input, I do occasionally experience sensory overload. Knowing what kind of sensory input the exhibit will have happening where is very helpful for me.
