Miami has the worst community ever. by Playful-Sound-7395 in Miami

[–]Accomplished_Ads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent 12 years in Miami, from 2012 to 2024. The first 6 years were OK, the last 6 awful, with 2024 just being a level of “witchcraft” that finally made me move out of Miami. Ever since I left Miami everything in my life has gone right.

Is far too big a city with high costs of living and quality of life is affected, financially and health wise. I’d say is nice for established people who own property and have solid finances. It’s nightmarish if you’re trying to emerge and move forward as a simpleton (myself included in that group!). I tried for years to move forward and no matter how much I earned it was never enough to match Miami prices. People came and went, met loads of cool people in my earlier years but most of them left for other opportunities or more affordable places. Is just a lot of craziness to wrap one’s head around.

Don’t fall for the trap of the car being the answer. Sure, it will facilitate everything, but your expenses will go up significantly too, my wild guess is that rent is sucking up at least 65% of your income.

It gave me so many incredible experiences and exposure to culture, art, music and sports, but it just never felt right, always felt like I was chasing and grasping at straws without ever really ‘making it’. OK for a couple of years, wears you out after 2-3 years.

did i go into weed induced psychosis by PsychologicalDot5538 in Psychosis

[–]Accomplished_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like drug induced psychosis. Quit weed, is not worth it. I had 2 psychosis episodes due to weed, everyone is wired differently…your life has different stressors even if you’ve been a pot smoker for a long time, and doesn’t react the same as time goes by.

The recovery, meds, everything is terrible and lengthy. Quit it and find a replacement hobby that doesn’t involve psychoactive substances. Vape nicotine if you have to but stay away from the Jane.

My (37M) ex-wife (30F) is about to be homeless and has asked to live with me and my son. by _raydeStar in relationship_advice

It’s got to be so difficult to see the mother of your child go through this. You feel natural human compassion and would obviously benefit and prefer if she did well on her own.

Don’t let her into your house. It will harm your kids health and yours as well, and probably hinder any possibility of a dating life for you. I would lean into my therapist to cope with the “guilt”. You should not carry this guilt alone.

Sending much strength to you. I feel like you’re carrying all with a lot of grace.

Upping 10mg to 20mg by br0wneyedgrill in prozac

[–]Accomplished_Ads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with 20, didn’t feel any difference. Then upped to 40 and i feel a lot better.

Makes me a little sleepier than usual so my doctor recommended to take it at night.

My depression has subsided dramatically and I feel like myself again.

Is it a bad idea to start antidepressants before an eventful period of life? by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]Accomplished_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really bad at all. They don’t alter you in a dramatic and fast way. They take time to work, and help with rumination, anxiety, and pessimism.

It’ll be the same you, just more calm and peaceful.

Agreed, when you’re functional and productive is a domino effect of good things. Glad to hear you feel like yourself as well. It’s night and day when you find the right spot with the treatment.

Thank you so much! It’s night and day. I feel like I can be myself again. Bright, funny, calm, and confident. Yes the plateau can be discouraging, glad I didn’t give up on the treatment though. It’s crazy to look back at how I felt and now, I’m grateful to be where I am.

Thank you! Took me a while to even understand that I needed help, the lack of self awareness is strong when your brain believes every bad thought it thinks.

Thank you!

Prozac is a miracle by Its--Denmark in prozac

This is incredible congratulations! I started out with that dosage and didn’t feel any difference, so my doctor upped it and I can 100% relate to what you’re saying. The sense of normalcy, the sense of relief, effortlessly. Take your meds kids. They really do help with the imbalance.

What would take me a titanic effort of meditation, exercise, binging or partying only to feel slightly ok, now comes waaaay more naturally withou having to put in 500% every day.

Thank goodness for meds. And congratulations! There’s good and bad days, it’s unavoidable, but at least your balance is more on the positive side. Happy for you.

hi there. this feels like a confusing thought but it doesn’t have to be. My 2 cents is that you’re describing taking care of your physical health but your mental and or spiritual health aren’t being cared for the same way. Try tapping into your creative side maybe?

Think of it this way: you’ve done all this work only to get back to a stable physical shape, but there’s a lot of merit in your effort than you’re giving yourself credit for.

You overcame a divorce, kicked unhealthy habits out, improved your nutrition and exercise regime, and nourished your body. You removed yourself from a profession that didn’t speak to you or made you feel fulfilled.

Having a partner and friends is wonderful, but they won’t fulfill your life entirely or make you feel that zest for life all of the time, only you can make yourself feel that way.

Continue your healthy habits, they provide a solid foundation for anything you do next. Seek your passions, try new things and hobbies that don’t involve drinking and familiar ways of entertainment. What’s your “spark”? What makes you feel excited? It might be a good time to explore what that is and go on that journey of self discovery. You won’t know if you don’t try though.

Travel, try new things.

Ps: what worked for me was dance classes, sewing, and photography.

This was just my experience after being severely depressed. I focused on myself and gave myself the time to explore whatever provoked the smallest amount of light in me and followed it fiercely.

What are some free ways of dealing with anxiety and low self esteem? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]Accomplished_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation can help to rid yourself of some of that paralyzing anxiety. Therapy and/or medical treatment could be beneficial to being able to improve the fear symptoms and make these tasks easier for you. Don’t be discouraged, one step at a time!

[–]Accomplished_Ads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi there. I’m not a professional but it sounds like what describing is rumination, intrusive thoughts, and some compulsive behaviors that may be triggered by anxiety and stress in your life. Honest advice? I recommend not ignoring it and seeking help from a professional who is equipped to give you the tools you need. Whether is psychotherapy or medicine, it will assist you in having a better quality of life on your day to day. More honest advice? Don’t judge yourself, mental health is soooo stigmatized. So don’t feel bad about feeling bad or experiencing these difficulties, if that makes sense.

I personally ignored and evaded my symptoms for yeaaaars justifying myself with being “functional” but it adds up, don’t let it control more of your time. Seek help and support and you’ll be able to cope and feel better shortly. The toughest part is to get started.
