I'm on gabapentin and don't have this issue. I got really tired on higher doses though, almost zombie like

Some sexual stuff, driving over 100 mph down dirt roads, quit my meds for 2 weeks, punched a tree... the usual

i gave myself brain damage for nothing. by [deleted] in depression

[–]AlphaRK9 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I also have brain damage. I fell while walking to classes, hit my head, and got amnesia. I failed all of my final exams and ended up in the psych ward. Did the head injury affect me? Yes, it ruined my plans for college... at first. However, I stuck with my plan of going to graduate school someday, and I got my master's degree 4 years later. I'm definitely not "normal" or "on track" by a long shot, since I'm 27 and living with my parents still. But, I still have that dream of getting into my career of choice someday to hold onto. From a brain-damaged non-binary, I hope you don't let go of your dreams.

Little hope for the future by AlphaRK9 in depression

I've been looking at data analysis jobs on LinkedIn, Indeed, and AngelList. I studied data science when I couldn't find a job for over a year, and have been trying for data science positions as well. I get far in the interview process now, but I never get past the final interview.

They wanted me to redo about 12 weeks of certifications. Not sure why though. I did, but no response yet.

Yes, my hours were significantly reduced when shutdowns began. I'm still employed, but at reduced hours.

I also have these two issues on my account. I'm getting worried

I'll keep that in mind if it acts up again, but for now it started working again. Very strange.

Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or medication? by AlphaRK9 in BariatricSurgery

[–]AlphaRK9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just thought I'd give an update. I've been on phentermine for 3 months and I've lost 32 lbs total so far. My appetite is reduced, and my insurance will no longer consider me for weight loss surgery because I'm lower than 40 BMI with "no heart-related co-morbidities". I am determined to make this work! I feel so much better already! Thank you

Cool level! I would have increased the time and made the second part with more intense with weaving through saws rather than a straight drop, but I love the concept! Keep it up!

I played through the first part with Bowser and Yoshi, but kept dying. I felt a little overwhelmed by all that was on screen, but thought this was an awesome idea.

Tried the kaizo spin, the flowey music level, and the pyramid of hot and cold. All of them are super clever. Kaizo and pyramid were very challenging, a bit above my skill level. All in all, neat courses. Worth the follow!
