Activities

I love sewing bags, clothing and other things. But sometimes it doesn't work out like I wanted or I need to reopen some stitches. Usually I don't care but sometimes I want to rip it appart and throw it away. I still train to just drop everything and leave the room. I do otherthings and come back to my project when I'm less stressed

that happens to me too, but for sketches. i love drawing but i’m not as good and confident as i want, so sometimes i start again and again and at last the picture didn’t seem the same as the first start. this times i just restart on something simple and try to relax. the best activity for me that can’t get me frustrated is read, i read a lot and reread also. i love my books! 📚 another activity that i LOVE is video games, but i’m a little bit impatient so i start to be frustrated A LOT. so i just stop and tell myself that this has to relax me not to get me upset. 🙈 tay the tips that i can give you is to keep trying but also to remember that is not a work, it is something that has to make you feel good. ❤️

I know what you mean 🙌! But I guess it’s not the activity or craft itself that is frustrating for me (I have the same with knitting 😅). In my case it’s my lack of patience. Yes I COULD have watched the tutorial and learn how to do this properly but I decided to skip it 😅. Yes I COULD knit in better light but I was too lazy to change positions and now, in daylight, I see I skipped a stitch 🫣. Yes I could just have decided not to choose this very thin yarn because I know if I can’t see any progress in my knitting I’ll never finish it. And sometimes I just don’t count correctly - that’s indeed a problem, my ADHD brain can’t remember if it was 50 or 60 stets - so I mess up a colourwork pattern 😝. And frogging and doing it again correctly makes me incredibly uncomfortable but I must tell myself it’s always worth it. It’s always the pleasing result for me that keeps me motivated, that’s why I just can’t knit for other people 😅.
