I have the manual from Camilla Valley's website and am planning on labeling with painter's tape. I'm going to have to try and take it apart quickly since the seller has it in self-storage - any tips for that? Not too worried about re-assembling it but just hoping for tips on taking it apart quickly and easily.

It only has to come apart enough for me to be able to get it up 3 stories and into my standard sized apartment door, if anyone has tips on what I can easily leave assembled vs. disassembled.

I have a therapist provided by the province's mental health system because I can't afford to pay for private therapy. We meet once a week in-person.

She had me create some goals at the beginning (3 sessions ago) and I feel afraid and unable to bring up new issues or ask if I can change those goals. I am very anxious and i basically clam up and try not to cry the entire session. I can sort of talk if I write it down beforehand (I can read out what i filled out on the worksheets she gives me) but 90% of my communication is "yes", "no", "okay" and "I don't know". She asked me at the end of our last session if I wanted to "talk about anything we didn't talk about yet" or "is there anything I want to do differently" and I said no because I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

I have social anxiety disorder, GAD, MDD. I've been struggling the worst with the depression but my therapist said we would focus on the anxiety because I already do some behavioural activation on my own for depression. I don't want to focus on worrying and anxiety anymore. It is not feeling productive and frankly I'm so depressed that I hardly worry about anything because I have no energy for it.

Do i bring this up? I don't think I literally can, I think i'll cry and freak out too much to explain. What do i do? I don't want to spend all of our sessions on things that feel unproductive but I don;t feel safe bringing this up because this is a government service that I'm not paying for.

I’ve been spinning with drop spindles for a year on-and-off. I got an EEW nano last year but I’m finding it really difficult to get a handle on it and feel confident.

I feel like I’m mostly fighting with accidental slubs/terrible consistency, take-up on the EEW, and overspinning my singles. I haven’t finished a full skein ever. I have a beautiful braid of merino but I struggle so much that I don’t want to touch it and ruin it, you know??

Do I just need more consistent practice? I feel like I don’t even know what exactly to focus on improving when I try to spin. I knit, dye, and weave, and those came to me so naturally that I’m not used to such a struggle getting into something.

I'd just prefer not to pay for shipping and I can't find any lease sticks locally.
