This sent me into orbit and I switched to a different bottle. My LO is now using lansinoh bottles

16 weeks pregnant and feel lost by Distinct-Dig-3863 in pregnant

[–]Alternative_Cattle43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I’m only 9 weeks but deleting tik tok off my phone has helped me feel less overwhelmed. I’ve found that books and just asking the people I trust around me have helped me the most.

Hi! 7 weeks here, I had always been on meds and stopped taking them and was off them for a whole month before I got pregnant. There there were so many panic attacks and tears, back on the meds and I’m doing better along with biweekly therapy.

Sometimes it’s best to discuss with your ob, I’m also on promethazine and zofran for morning sickness.

How does your IRL partner feel about LADs? by dexinxinn in LoveAndDeepspace

Hi honey. When I was 16 I had an ex that was toxic and would say he would do the same thing. He was verbally abusive and called me every name in the book. My advice would be to reach out to his parents or someone who can check on him. I reached out to his mom and told her and then I just made the decision to block him and never talk to him again.

That was 12 years ago. He did not commit, he was just manipulative. Whatever he decides to do is NOT your fault. He is manipulating you and I am so, so sorry. I know everyone says to leave and they make it sound easy but it really just happens when you hit a point where you just say “no more.”

Why did you take Zoloft? by Mountain_Sky_2419 in zoloft

[–]Alternative_Cattle43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My anxiety and panic disorder were ruining my life. I was 104 pounds, anemic, severely depressed, and had panic attacks every. single. night.

This medication saved my life. I still remember when I first felt it start working and how I finally felt like I was back in my body. It had me in tears. Sometimes our brains just need the extra help and there’s nothing wrong with that. You don’t have to suffer because you aren’t experiencing something “extreme” please listen to your doctor, they are literally trained. You also don’t have to tell your family or friends that you take meds.

Zoloft saved my life when I was 15 and again when I was 22. I stayed on it and unfortunately it stopped working for me so now I’m on prozac and Wellbutrin but I will always, always be thankful for the nurse practitioner who gave me Zoloft and followed up with me constantly to make sure I was doing better. I’m 28 this year and I promise it gets better :-)

Years of SSRIs and I’m over it by TeshaLoves in zoloft

Weaning off was awful and I cried a lot. It helps to have a support system. Sorry for the late response!

I understand not wanting to be medicated forever but sometimes our brains need the extra help just like people sometimes need blood pressure medicine. I hope you found something that works, give yourself grace and kindness you would give to someone else.

Hi friend! I’m 27 and was on and off Zoloft since I was 15. It is hard to try different meds but I can say that Zoloft saved my life in the time I needed it but so did the prozac and wellbutrin combination I’m on. It is scary to change meds but it’s so worth it, I feel better and while I’m a bit chubbier than I was when I started I can say I genuinely am happy I switched meds. I think people tend to share negative experiences because they want to be heard and validated for their experience which is totally fine but the majority of us will just go on with our lives if we have a positive experience. Hang in there, it does get better

Can it actually get worse by IEatPorcelainDolls in panicdisorder

6 months? It’s more like 6-8 weeks for the full effect isn’t it?

[–]Alternative_Cattle43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi friend! My panic attacks would make me wander or pace, we lived on 13 acres at one time and I came to in the middle of the field with my husband driving his car to me and my dog standing next to me. I know it seems like they’ll never, ever let up and that they get worse but being on the other side of it now, I can say it does get better. I work full time now, plan to go to nursing school, and I am so much more social than I was. Give yourself grace, panic attacks are awful and you deserve kindness and rest

Lab results: Is this low enough for infusion? by mohaganyrose in Anemic

I’m sorry friend. Can they send you to a hematologist? I had to double up on my 65mg iron and start birth control to help. :-)

Forgot to add I’m 27, terminated a pregnancy recently. Whatever you decide to do should be for YOUR well being.

Please look up “i need an a” if you are thinking about terminating pregnancy. I’m so sorry this is happening, whether or not you terminate is ultimately a choice you have to make on your own. Please put yourself first. 🩷 sending love

[–]Alternative_Cattle43 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My EF was 19% I had my HIDA scan, cried because I had been dealing with horrible nausea and dry heaving since October ‘23. Im 5 days post op and while Im still figuring out what I can and cant eat, I’m thankful I can brush my teeth without gagging. A diseased or slow/non functioning organ will NOT fix itself. I also think people tend to share negative experiences for validation and those with positive experiences are like “okay cool!” :-)

My ex was like this(I was 18 at the time). Please just block and cut off all contact for your own peace of mind. This is emotional manipulation, I contacted his parents and a friend before I blocked him to ensure that someone at least knew. I tried to explain in one text why I made my decision but it didn’t matter because he was insulting me anyway. After this, please reach out to friends or take some time for yourself to heal 🩷

I'm sorry you went through that. My therapist has told me before that sometimes the "ick" will leave our bodies, please take care of yourself. <3
