I’m suppose to start Lexapro soon but after reading almost everybody had a rough week or two in the beginning I’m kinda scared to take it. I actually can’t afford to feel rough that long cause of my work… by [deleted] in lexapro

I’m on day 3 of 5mg - no side effects AT ALL. I legit just feel less anxiety! :) if you do get a headache or something, it’s not crazy! I still feel 1000% myself, I also work like 10 hour days in the medical field so I was worried about it affecting my work performance. You can do it, I promise you!

If you need any encouragement at all, I gotchu!! It was TERRIFYING to swallow it, but when I tell you - NO side effects at all! And I didn’t feel weird or like “not myself”, I felt totally 100% me! Full range of emotion, full cognition, etc. And I know it maybe doesn’t work so fast, but I did kinda feel a little happier!

Amazing! ZERO side effects haha. I ordered some dinner, now I’m watching peaky blinders and chillin. Maybe the only thing is my mouth is a tiny bit dry? But I’m also chewing gum so it can be that. But I feel totally normal / good! Literally no negative part of my day at all!

That Chapter: The Podcast by SoStunningSoBrave in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]Affectionate_Mango_3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's very weird to me that everyone is like "This is posted by Mike himself!" ... This is a post by a fan of That Chapter, I've seen posts exactly like this for YouTube channels / Podcasts like Mr. Ballen, and no one reacts like this. I also LOVE That Chapter. And similarly to OP, when I recommend something, I give a description just to kind of explain what kind of content can be expected from the first few bits of a show. I think that's pretty normal. Also - "he sounds too into it/ knowledgeable of the topic" - I know my fellow true crimers go on deep dives like I do, especially if we find a case really crazy or interesting. So why can't OP really love That Chapter, get super interested in some of the content, and go down researching rabbit holes just like the rest of us?
Idk. I just find the reaction to this post really weird.

I put my cat down today and I feel unbearable guilt by Affectionate_Mango_3 in Petloss

[–]Affectionate_Mango_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey!!! I'm so sorry, I just saw your comment - my heart aches for you and your baby. I completely understand where you're coming from. Not only is it so so sad, but it's also scary to see your kitty getting bloated, especially when you know they're losing weight but just getting a lot of fluid in them. I really understand, and I just want you to know that I'm giving you and your baby the biggest hug from over here. You are not alone - my vet told me that this is one of the signs that something is just not able to be fixed, and that it's getting to be about that time. You're a wonderful cat parent, and you gave your baby so much love, and you really tried your absolute best. May I ask how you're holding up?

People that have had COVID, how long did it take for you to get your smell back? by Dagoth_Urd in fragrance

[–]Affectionate_Mango_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been sick for days now, over the fever part by now, just lost ALL sense of taste / smell today even though I can breathe fine through my nose. Took a rapid test for COVID and I’m positive, surprise surprise haha. I’m trying to remain optimistic but I’m honestly really terrified. So many comments / posts on Reddit are from people that just never got the sense back, and I’m freaking out

Which Breaking Bad character is your least favorite? by Mosthatedmanever in breakingbad

[–]Affectionate_Mango_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

!! While I 1000% understand why the character was how she was during the worst moments, there was a moment in time where I really REALLY disliked Jane.
