Challenge 56: Pooh Pathology Test

We haven't done any personality tests and they can sometimes be a bit of fun, other times a little insightful. The Pooh test is quite interesting, based on the idea that each character could be linked to a definite psychiatric diagnosis.

Which character are you most like?

Pooh Pathology Test

This test will match your personality with one of the Winnie the Pooh characters.

I was Piglet (Anxiety)

 

[trashhologram]

I'm also Piglet!

 

[CatLvr]

I am a tie between Pooh and Tigger with heavy Rabbit and Eeyore. Basically I am a not mess. Edit: a HOT mess, not a NOT mess. Autocorrect is the bane of my existence. Sigh. If I was a NOT MESS I'd think I would never have come looking for you guys in the first place.

 

[Thisisnotaname]

Eeyore experiences a constantly low mood and feelings of despair. He still has symptoms and is depressed more than necessary. He constantly sees the negative, expects bad things to happen and never tries to have a positive outlook on life. He does not try to be cheerful and lives his depression as the default state, rather than by episodic periods. His gloomy mood leads to low self-esteem and a feeling of discouragement. He has given up on recovery and accepts his condition, as if there is no hope of trying to get out. He has never had a manic episode, which excludes the possibility of bipolar disorder.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Rabbit - I don't agree with everything that's mentioned in the test results. However, I'm a perfectionist. That's right.

 

[ConfusedClouds]

I got quite high in a lot of them.

Rabbit - 70%
Pooh & Eeyore - 63%
Tigger & Christopher Robin - 50%
Piglet - 43%
Roo - 37%

Kinda fits though - I feel all over the place and that bits of everything feel semi-relevant but nothing actually 'fits'. (No formal diagnoses - only 'dyslexia' from around when I started uni but that also doesn't feel overly relevant).

Maybe I should aim to go back and visit Ashdown Forest again soon and just go hide out in all the Hundred Acre Wood locations. Its not far from where I grew up (SE England). Word of advice though - take your own twigs for playing pooh sticks. There's no low branches or sticks on the floor anywhere near pooh bridge any more!!!

 

[lost_one]

Well At least I am not schizofrenic...

 

[CatLvr]

Well At least I am not schizofrenic...

You made me laugh because I thought the same damned thing!

 

[lost_one]

Also I find it so dark, the Idea the Christopher is schizofrenic, it makes the whole thing so dark...Omg

 

[Life_and_Death]

im not sure i function......

 

[unsurehowtomove]

I'm Piglet (77% - Anxiety), Rabbit (67% - OCD) and Eeyore (60% - Depression). Not a surprise at all.

 

[lost_one]

Very random, from two weeks ago, but this is how i's going... I am not 100% happy with it, but as CatLvr said, I am trying to enjoy the process. I had never done anything like this, this complicated. It was a little crammed. Didn't do my best at organizing the direction of the crows, but it's ok. Thanks for the prompt

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

What a great thread, I'll jump in with the Pooh test.



I've always been anxiety-ridden. Diagnosed with OCD ~20 years ago and it's always in the background of my thoughts.

You have done a great job!! You actually have a really good "flow" across the page, as well as a good mix of different details amongst the crows which creates a secondary flow on across the page from the tree. I would challenge you to continue on and continue doing a new page, but same basic design every day, or every other day, for another 30 days and see where you are then. I think you will be AMAZED at how much of a change 30 days of consistent work will get you.

Also, and this is not a criticism at all, but an observation -- I would consider scooting the moon a little one way or the other so it is not centered on the page. I think you will find it helps your eye see the overall picture better, instead of calling attention to itself by being so "front and center".

You have a TON of potential. I do not think you give yourself near enough credit.

 

[lemonbunny]

it seems a lot of us can relate to piglet!

 

[notwhereIbelong]

No detailed description, as both Eeyore and Piglet have the same score

 

[landmine]

piglet then eeyore !

Hi I can't send private messages, but I wanted to share some ideas I had for the Weekly challenge. Idk if they are any good or have been done already, and so Carac feel free to ignore them if you don't like them.

But essencially I had three Ideas:

1. Do a small act of kindness to a stranger. ( be it helping an old lady carrying her groceries; Giving so money to charity; idk if that is common where you live, but here it somewhat common to have people selling small things like gummy candy or Paçoca on the stop lights/traffic lights, usually 1 buck. that kind of stuff)

2. Read something. It can be anything, a book, Manga, comicbook; short-story; just anything that is at least 10 pages long.

3. (This one caters to my ADHD fellows) watch something from your watch-later tab on Youtube.

Challenge 57: Food transformation

This weeks challenge is to take some ordinary staple food and turn it into something delicious, amazing, fancy or whatever you feel like you can manage. For example you could have some rice that you could turn into a tasty rise dish. Or take a potato and include in a lovely meal or just make fries with a homemade dip. You could take something like a banana and turn it into a banana split! The choice is yours.

Personally I going to transform a bunch of carrots into a carrot cake!

These are some great ideas, I always welcome input. We have done some of these challenges before or touched upon them but I sure we can revamp them or redo them in the coming weeks!

 

[CatLvr]

I LOVE carrot cake!! Yum!!

This one I'm gonna enjoy ... Let me think ...

 

[ConfusedClouds]

One of my go-to comfort snack/meals is my own super lazy but homely equivalent of a pot noodle.

In a large mug I put a nest of dry noodles (wholewheat or egg or whatever) and a sachet of my favourite cup soup flavour. Boil the kettle, mix it all up and wait 5 mins or so for the noodles to soften up.

Not sure its a transformation but I guess it sort of adapts things from their 'typical' intentions. Particularly if I want something more filling when I don't have cooking facilities.

I look forward to hearing if anyone out there has any great hacks or alt uses for ingredients!

 

[Life_and_Death]

just anything that is at least 10 pages long.

those sound like really good ideas
the only thing id say is why have a limit? it can be kind of exclusive. not everyone can read 10 pages. (or in other cases, come up with 3 positive things. etc other limits)
any move forward is a bonus even if its not as big a step as others.

 

[CatLvr]

Uhmmm, I found a recipe for chocolate ...






COBBLER

I'll let you know how it turns out! Lol

 

[CatLvr]

I am addicted!! OMG! I am fixing to leave, having an early Thanksgiving at one of the kiddo's house but I will share the recipe tomorrow. Maybe this evening, if I'm not too beat. I don't think I would have ever even looked for "weird chocolate recipes" if @carac hadn't done this challenge so ... Thank you sweetie!!

haha you sound really excited, i'm really happy to see this. I love chocolate!

I usually have bars of cooking chocolate lying around that end up being used in one way or another

 

[CatLvr]

Ok ... As promised. And this is everything any who even remotely likes chocolate dreams of!! With vanilla ice cream it is TO DIE for ...

Chocolate Cobbler

This rich chocolate cobbler is great for potlucks and get-togethers. It bakes up with a crunchy crust on top and ooey, gooey chocolate on the bottom!

ok, ironically I was already going to do this, I have made bread before, simple white bread ( it's prety mid, idk why it always get crumbly), but I will try a different recipe for 6 grain bread, it's not super yummy, but I am trying to be more healthy and eat less candy....which was all I ate before.

If your bread is crumbly try adding a little more liquid during the kneading process. And the dough is ready when you can pull a piece off the doughball and stretch it out without it breaking. It:s kinda hard to explain. Let me go find a video for you ... Brb

Here you go -- a little bit of a science class lesson, also but I always use this recipe for my sandwich bread ...
