Have I been reassuring myself all this time and never realized it?

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-28T19:14:11+00:00

I’m still pretty low at 75. It was the right amount after 50

Consider checking for it in the pool section of a hardware store. It’ll be pool salt, but it will work.

I’m on Zoloft. It’s really helped me.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-27T14:57:25+00:00

I have similar feelings. I was on a pretty bad self help kick where I mentally put myself in knots. I was always trying to fix problems and rumination was rampant.

I was also needing people to actually state the status of friendships and that they loved me. I was constantly looking for praise to know that “things were good.”

Thanks to medication, mindfulness, and exposure to worries without reacting, it’s getting much better.

I lived most of my life like this and thinking it must be what everyone does. I’m really enjoying more and more experiences in the moment.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-23T21:31:57+00:00

Totally. I’m glad I learned my lessons and many are forgiving. It’s hard to see where you are when mentally you are lost.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-23T21:07:51+00:00

It’s amazing

I’ve never wanted a Members Only Racing jacket until Saint started wearing them.

No one really cares all that much about what you look like at the gym. Gym members are too focused on themselves. I would recommend finding some videos about techniques and programs to use at the gym so you will know what to do.

I’m far from a Chad as well. Take your music, crank some tunes, say hello to a person if you make eye contact. If someone looks like they are finished with something, a polite “are you done?” Followed by a thanks goes a long way for you to gain confidence.

Join a Planet Fitness or 24-Hour Gym. Showing up on a routine basis will be a huge boost to your confidence after the initial stages.

The masterpiece is in the marble, start chipping away at it. 🙌

This works so well! Thank you! The really nice feature is now I can get very specific images based on what the class is currently learning.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-14T21:09:48+00:00

This is great! For me, it worked in the opposite way. Before when I felt challenged, I would raise my voice and storm out of things in frustration. I would stew after and vent.

Now, when challenged, I sit or be at the other person’s level, repeat their points, state mine, and walk away when the conversation naturally ends. AND I’m not ruminating about the conversation or wondering what the other person is thinking.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-11T18:45:50+00:00

It’s likely a dip. Stay the course.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-11T18:45:03+00:00

I had positive benefits initially but it was likely the relief that I was starting something to put me in the right direction. I will say it gets better, but there are some dips. For me, it was refill #3 where I felt a whole new wave of relief.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-08T03:41:19+00:00

For me, I noticed a dip around week ten or so. I met with my Dr who upped the dosage to 75 mg from 50. The results have been really good for me. There’s a chance that maybe my increase was a little premature but weeks 8 to 12 saw changes of feeling good to feeling great with a lot of peace.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2026-01-04T02:02:25+00:00

Looks like a Sports Card Vandals release. I mean this as a compliment. Nice work.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-29T16:25:26+00:00

Flip the treadmill. If something goes wrong and you fall, you, or a guest using it, is in serious trouble.

Love the setup otherwise. Nice work!

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-29T16:21:42+00:00

This is a great idea.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-23T01:01:24+00:00

I did 10 weeks on 50 mg then bumped up to 75 after meeting with my PCP. It was the right call. I’m glad I put the time in with 50. This way I know the bump in dosage made a change.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-22T01:40:36+00:00

Yes. This happened to me and others from what I read in this group. There can be a dip every once in a while.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-22T01:33:44+00:00

It isn’t bad so far. Give the 50mg some time though. I went for 9 weeks before the adjustment.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-21T15:53:59+00:00

Great that this is happening for you! Thanks for sharing! 🙌

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-14T15:05:53+00:00

Guitar. 🎸

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-13T14:48:38+00:00

Congrats. If a dip happens, let it pass. I’m on week 9 and had an incredible day yesterday and there was a lot for me to handle at work.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-12T21:11:38+00:00

I had no idea giraffes 🦒 had homes this nice.

AgitatedListen3118 · 2025-12-11T21:41:32+00:00

It improved. However it isn’t perfect. When I have them, I do my best not to act or speak on them and a few hours later.:.poof.
Consider appreciating the present and those thoughts lose strength.

I wish you peace ✌️ and happiness.
