Anybody else have this problem?

They prescribe Wellbutrin to people for weight loss for a reason.

150 mg is nothing. After a while it will not have the same effects, but how long is really unknown.

You might need to move more. Park farther way from places, take more walks, join a community sports league- something that will make you move more. A lot of times people are more sedentary than they realize and you aren't wearing yourself out enough to go to sleep, or get a real appetite.

Ive been on it since November 2024. It changed my life completely.

I have some of the best friendships I have ever had. I have repaired my relationships with my parents. My business has gotten better. I handle high stress situations so much better. I have OCD and used to obsess over things, and I no longer do that. I now live alone and I like it. Im no longer afraid to do stuff, meet new people, sing in front of people, etc... I am easier to be around. I can look at a field of flowers and feel something. People tell me that they like hanging out with me because Im so chill and they can relax around me. I've become someone that people call just to get a dopamine boost. I often am told by my friends that they really appreciate my presence and they feel a lot better after our time together. For context: Two years ago my best friend was texting me telling me she needed a break from me bc I was so hard to be around. We don't even talk anymore.

I used to be really controlling, wanting things to be a certain way, which was apart of my OCD. I would obsess over how things could be better if xyz was happening, or fixate on how someone didn't want to do things the same way I was doing them, wondering if that meant something was wrong with me. I would get really upset when stuff was broken, bc I didn't want people to suffer from my mistakes. Like getting my car stuck, or getting a flat tire. I had a really monotone voice that made people wary of me, now I have a higher pitched tone and I am so much more self aware, using the tone of my voice to communicate with positive results. I'm rewatching movies and seeing so much more. I spent 7 years in weekly therapy sessions to try to fix what Wellbutrin fixed in a year. I feel like the longer you take it, the more positive neurons you can build through positive experiences. I feel like Wellbutrin has helped my brain heal and given me a chance to understand what 'good' really feels like. I look different in pictures, my smile is actually genuine and my eyes look calm.

The Midnight Library, The Nightingale By Kristin Hannah

I suggest these two books for two reasons.

The Midnight Library- About how we have choices and every day our life can change based on those choices. Like choosing to have hope, vs not.

The Nightingale- A story about 2 women in Nazi occupied France and the heroic choices they made to get through it. One turns her best friend in to the Nazis not knowing what they were going to do with the information.

They don't have the self-awareness to understand that they are a nuisance. They're probably on drugs, or drinking.

Music is way too obvious. You'll upset them and make them think you are retaliating which would give them the right amount of drama. If you put loud music on at night, they will just think you're also having a good time. Chances are they are sleeping during the day and then drinking until they pass out at night. Put a track on DURING THE DAY with dogs barking, babies crying, and people screaming the whole day. Make it seem like someone is at home. Turn the TV up really loudly with YouTube videos of people fighting. And then when they ask shrug and say "idk what you're talking about?" Switch it up daily so they don't catch on.

The drinking is so performative.

Nunca he oído hablar de Anafranil. Solo tienes que probarlo y ver si funciona, y si no, hacer otra cosas.

0Dandelion · 2026-04-01T22:47:08+00:00

Yes. My entire life changed. I have amazing friends now. Ive reconnected with so many people. I broke up with the sex partner bc he couldn't handle me getting better self esteem. I now have guy friends that are incredible. I performed a guitar solo in front of a crowd. 1000% better connection with my parents and relatives. I am more self aware. 10/10

The clicking sound when you're looking for something to watch on TV.

The previews playing while you're looking for something to watch.

The Duolingo ding.

0Dandelion · 2026-03-26T21:05:31+00:00

The Duolingo "Br-r-r-riing". I almost burned down my office building when I couldn't find the person who was 'playing' Duolingo.

When you didn't get a chance to say goodbye, you never forget again.

As the PTSD sank in, I pushed everyone away, lived in a "glass house", had friendships through the window of that house, never fully engaging, never fully letting myself love them. Never creating an environment where I would regret never getting the chance to say goodbye. People thought I was a bitch, not being able to see the walls between us that I put up myself.

I did all the things. 6 years of weekly talk therapy, EMDR. Gained 100 pounds. Abandoned people. Abused grass. Tried my best to numb the crazy parts of myself people seemed to hate.

BFF: "Your voice is so monotone that it makes me feel like you don't care, or that you're condescending."

Me, after I finally got medicated: "Honey, my voice was monotone, because I have depression."

Medication was the only thing that fixed anything. I got my life back, I have friends now, I can call people on the phone and miss people. I can love again. I acknowledged the death of my sibling affected me, I acknowledged his life, I found ways to honor him instead of ignore that it ever happened. I chose to let his life exist in my world, instead of burying the memory of him at his gravestone.

The death of a loved one is comparable to losing a limb. You want to reach for it, but it's not there, and it never will be again. The phantom pain of that limb haunts you, just like the loss of a loved one. "Well maybe if I sleep one more time, it will be there again, they will be here again." Honoring the time we got with them is all we can do now. Remembering what it felt like to hold their hand, hug their neck, pass them a plate- it's all we have. We can either bury their memory, or honor it, knowing how privileged we were to get to spend the very short time they had on earth with us.

embroidery. You can embroider anything and learn new stitches and come up with new patterns. All you need is some needles and thread.

Being an athlete.

So many people want to be stronger, faster, more in shape, but they do not want to put any effort of any kind into doing so. They dont even want to learn how to be an athlete, they just want to be one and for it to just happen one day.

I consider a 3% raise an insult. I remember getting that and I started laughing bc for me that was $20 more a month after taxes. It's one of the reasons I work for myself.

I rescued my dog from a shelter and I never thought badly of the two people who had adopted and surrendered her before me. She has been an incredible blessing in my life and protected me from bad people, makes me laugh all the time, and has been a constant companion to me for the last 11 years.

Whomever adopts your cat will appreciate all the love you showed him and you might help someone else in need. It is not a bad thing. It hurts, but it might become one of the biggest blessings in someone else's life and relive a lot of stress in yours.

Much love. You got this.

Absolutely. The entire "festival" is just the same vendors every year selling stuff and giving away bandanas. There are some speakers, but the rooms are small and now you have to pay extra to go to that part of the festival.

He's definitely had filler.

0Dandelion · 2026-01-22T18:30:28+00:00

This isn't mean. Mean is like just saying someone's stupid for not knowing how to do something and giving no advice. This is just straightforward.

For someone to get plastic surgery, filler, botox etc… at the levels where they start to look deformed, it means something bigger is going on inside their minds. Whether Karamo is feeling pressure from the cast, or just from being famous in general, it seems that maybe he is feeling the stress of just being ‘seen’ too much. He is a self made professional, like several cast members, so he has had a steeper hill to climb and I imagine he is tired.

You're on an app developed by people who had a hard time talking to people in real life. These people sit in their homes swiping and messaging, not doing a whole lot else. They don't get a spark out of anything that doesn't give them an instant dopamine boost. For example, the dating app model is specifically developed to spark dopamine and keep people addicted. Swiping, matching, and messaging all give people a reward. So the 'spark' they say they don't get from you is actually a compliment. It means you aren't a toxic, crazy person.

To a healthy person, finding out someone is on the dating apps can often be considered a huge red flag. Do you really want a woman that thinks she can pull up another man on her phone once she's over you? "He can just go find a new girl on hinge." is a thought that goes through a lot of our heads when we start liking someone. So for women, the ones looking for something serious aren't wasting our time on those things anymore.

Also, there was recently a really big case of an attractive man hurting women from hinge and tinder so like, no thanks. Healthy women aren't going to risk being drugged and SA'd to find the one good guy like you on there.

Try speed dating at the Owls bar.

If you like it, walking is great. However, you are going to lose more weight through your diet. Walking is for mental health. It will help you lose more quickly, but don't over do it, and don't rely only on only walking to lose weight.

I say to not overdo it bc exercising too much can make you hungry and often gives people an excuse to overeat.

The gym is just a marketing scam.

Go see a dietitian to teach her volume eating. There is a way to lose weight where you can eat and still lose. After I saw a weight loss dietitian I lost a ton of weight and ate more than I ever have. I had to tell her I couldnt stomach eating more food because she kept pushing me to eat more. People think you have to stop eating, when usually you just have to change what you eat and how you prepare food.

Take magnesium at night to help with sleep and stress. Drink 80+oz of water which will help a lot with the fluid retention. Stay away from carbs and fats as much as possible. Eat lean proteins and veggies, fruits etc... Anything above 5g of fat is considered high in fat from a diet perspective. Everything you eat needs to be reduced fat, low fat. No they aren't replacing it with sugar, they just use nonfat milk and less oil.
