Hobbyist of over 20+ years. Painter more than gamer. I get far too easily distracted and always looking for inspiration for a new project.

...consequences that may follow which will possibly mean losing the friendship and causing more #RSD spiralling. Or should I delete them before they are read and pretend like nothing happened. Swallow down the pain, continue to mask and just deal with/ignore it quietly?

...emotionally vulnerable position ( #RSD is an absolute bitch by the way). The messages are truthful and speak to how I truly feel, they currently remain unread and will do until the morning. I'm now questioning whether I should have sent them. Is it better to speak honestly and suffer any...

As a recently diagnosed #ADHD adult. I am starting to question behaviours and patterns that I've always taken for granted and results that always seemed inevitable. Unfortunately today has seen me take a huge step backwards and I've impulsively sent some messages to a friend when in an...

Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Found it on Etsy but seems to by one of the guys from GSW as well but I'll keep digging. Find it odd there are no reviews of it anywhere.

Has any one got or used on of these portable paint stations from Green Stuff World? We have a shared hobby desk in the spare room so looking for something compact and affordable that I can pack up out the way when not in used. #WarhammerCommunity #MiniaturePainting #Wargaming

Thanks bud, its been tough but hopeful for a more stable year. Sorry to hear you've been struggling as well. Hope things are improving for you or are at least on the way. Always good for a chat if you ever need to talk.

So 2025 is coming to an end. Hobby has been minimal this year due mental health battles - a battle I very nearly lost. Thankfully I was able to get some help and doing better. I finally got my ADHD diagnosis which has also been a big help. Going into 2026 more optimistic. #mentalhealthmatters #ADHD

Been a rough few months but finally found the energy to finish off some more Ironjawz. #WarhammerCommunity #wepaintminis

Thanks Geordie, looks like a great website. Definitely do some digging on there for more info.

Sorry it took so long for your diagnoses to come through. I know from my wife's experience how distracting and frustrating it can be just waiting for answers.

My wife has been fighting for an Autism diagnosis for nearly 4 years at this point which has been taking a lot of the energy we have. Once that is finalised (hopefully in next few months) I will be down the GP to get myself sorted.

Just at the exploratory stage at the moment. Understanding what it is, what it looks like, how it impacts day to day life. I live in a blackhole when it comes to NHS mental healthcare so need to go prepared otherwise I'll get nowhere.

A great thread and very well expressed. I'm going through my own ADHD journey at the moment and can relate to a lot of this. Like you, I love the idea of alt-text but also find myself freezing and getting stressed about what to put. So far I've let that get the better of me but I'll get there.

First minis of 2025 started. Worked up the basecoats on some Ragerz and Wrekkaz last night. Experimented with slapchop over Christmas on an Ardboy Big Boss and really enjoyed the process. One battleforce box later and looks like a new army this year! #AgeofSigmar #WarhammerCommunity #wepaintminis

When not painting I try to get out and explore with my daughter and practising my photography at a VERY amateur level. Here's a few photos from our trip to Stonehaven, Scotland last Summer. #Photography #Scotland

Mainly a #Warhammer painter but do dabble in some other systems too. Here's a selection of my #Warhammer40k minis.

Been in the wilderness for a bit looking for a new place to share what I've been working on since Musk took over that other place. Tried a few others but this feels more familiar.
