What should I paint next?

What should I paint next?

My kiddo asked for a Fortnite themed bedroom. In his previous theme I had 9 Minecraft style paintings. But I’ve ran out of ideas on this Fortnite collection 👀

I really want to paint over the slurp juice stuff? It was my first one in this series and I flopped it lol 😆 but my son says it's great I just disagree 🤣

Progressive Bifocals

I’m 26 and just picked up my first pair of glasses with progressive bifocals. For one everything is so CRISPY, it’s absolutely amazing 😻 but my apps and my phone look HUGE??! Am I looking through the lens wrong? How long does it take to learn how to use them?

Bipolar 2, 3rd shift, and end-of-the-school-year chaos. Just need to vent to people who get it.

Hey everyone. I was diagnosed with BP2 when I was 17 after an extensive stay at the grippy sock hospital. I’m 26 now and have been consistently medicated for the past 6 years. Honestly, I usually do great on my meds!
But lately? Life has been testing me. I recently switched to 3rd shift (10 PM - 6 AM), and my routine is completely shot. I’ve been forgetting my meds because I get home in the morning and immediately dive into Mom Mode.. getting my kiddos ready and dropping them off at school.
To make matters worse, it’s the end of the school year, which means a never-ending gauntlet of activities: field day, kindergarten graduation, awards day, you name it. I’ve been running to these events on barely any sleep and a dangerous amount of caffeine.
I am emotionally exhausted, drained, and honestly feeling so alone in this right now. I know it’s temporary, and I know I just need to lock down a new medication routine for this shift, but man... it’s hard. Thanks for listening.

7-Year-Old With ADHD Talking About Death at Night — Is This Normal?

My son is 7 (almost 8) and has ADHD and anxiety.. At night he’s been talking a lot about death and dying. Not in a violent way, more like deep thoughts/questions/fears right before bed. He’ll ask things like what happens when people die, that I’ll die someday, that he’ll die someday, says thinking about it makes him scared. We haven’t lost anyone recently in the family to trigger this. And it’s not nightly, it’s just a weekly occurrence usually. He only talks to me about it (I’m mom) he has never said a word to his step dad about it, or anyone else really for that matter.

During the day he’s usually energetic, happy, playful, and totally normal. It mainly happens at bedtime when things get quiet.

I’m trying not to panic because I know kids can become aware of mortality around this age, but it still worries me as a mom. I have been thinking about calling his therapist and seeing if he can be seen again.

Has anyone else experienced this with their child around this age? What helped?

Feeling weird about needing bifocals at 26

I had an eye doctor appointment today and found out I need bifocals/progressives. I already wear glasses, but my prescription is stronger and I have astigmatism + a lazy eye.

I guess I just didn’t expect this at 26 and now I’m kind of anxious about what my vision will be like as I get older. 🫤 It feels like my eyes are getting bad fast even though I know that might not be true.

Has anyone else gone through this? How long did it take to adjust to bifocals/progressives?
