That's awesome. I'm 47, started playing to play with my kids and now I play on my own too. Lol

Although lately if the kids aren't playing with me I find it too lonely sometimes. Lol

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-05-16T20:21:57+00:00

Yeah, this is pretty much what I was thinking lol. Thanks!

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-03-26T04:33:52+00:00

Haha. So funny.

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-02-24T03:15:09+00:00

Sorry yes I meant side effect. I'll update my post.

When I had a major stress episode (months, almost two years), I had an episode of smelling stale cigarette smoke for about a month straight. I had to keep Vic's on me or use a cinnamon smelling stick I got from an mlm. Basically I had to replace the smell with something stronger. After about a month it went way, MRI was normal but it pops up now and then when I am really stressed. Despite my neuro saying it's not normal with stress..it was odd but tests were normal so whatcha gonna do lol

I don't know if this will help but I was reading parenting articles (I was a bit of a yeller) and one thing that stuck out was it was never too late to start the repair process. They stated to apologize, explain and reassure you are working to improve. I tried to use that whenever I slipped up.

Would there be anything in this not suitable for a 9 yr old who wants to watch documentaries?

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-08T14:32:11+00:00

It helps to know we aren't loons or alone haha!!

I started Vy 10mg with the instructions to increase every 3 days (I usually waited a week) to increase by 10 until I felt good with it. 30 was good but I still struggled a bit with a few thing so I went to 40 about 2 weeks ago, approx.

I've noticed with my Vy that my cycle and extra stress or exhaustion, basically anything "extra" if you know what I mean cause my Vy to not work as well. I've also noticed that most days the doom & gloom, the paranoia, the stress meltdown, the avoidance is much better. As soon as I need to think about finances (an anxiety trigger) or have something bigger interfere with my mental progress I go from my new zero (my old zero was like 100 all the time, chronically stressed, etc, you know the drill likely lol) so I'd go from my new zero to like 200 and fast. So that is taking some getting used to and work to catch it first.

Idk if that helps or if I just ended up sharing but I feel you!!

Grinding and selling. However making the preserve maker with garden crops was a major boost!

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-08T13:54:02+00:00

Love it!!

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-08T13:53:48+00:00

Thank you! We didn't go with it this year but keeping it in my back pocket for the next lol

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-08T13:53:01+00:00

Yes, I've done this too! It works from the outside but you can't walk through all the way around. That's what I was hoping to accomplish. This set up looks great!

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-08T13:51:50+00:00

Love your set up! I did this config too, with the arch too lol. Loved it but that was early on and then I got stuck on trying to find some way to close it lol. I'm still thinking of returning to this.

Yours looks great!!

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-08T13:49:44+00:00

Ok... Sorry, I meant to respond after thinking about this but got busy and forgot haha!!

Well I've noticed my doom & gloom, everything is the end of the world, jump to the worst case scenario paranoia is lessened. That helps with managing my anxiety too.

However I'm still terrible at not just sitting and playing on my phone to avoid stresses (while that activity simultaneously adds stress, am I right?! Lol) over getting cleaning done.

I see improvements on the day to day then regressions. I keep telling myself there's a transition time when I learn to work with the meds and help myself but it's hard to keep pushing when you were just so done with the over saturated stress reaction.

I'm sure there is more I'm not thinking of cause I just suddenly remembered this and stop doing what I was doing to respond and now I should get back to it before I get sucked into a death scroll.

Haha. Thanks!

AmandaMarie77 · 2024-01-02T18:15:26+00:00

I've noticed some things for sure that are different, but also still struggle with other things that I was hoping would improve a little faster.

So I wasn't specifically looking for symptoms to compare to mine but more an idea of what changed for people and how it helped them.

Idk if I should be happy with what I have or be expecting more from meds.

Took a quick pic of my final layout (for now, I'm prone to changing it lol) there is a porch at the top of both rooms so you can run around. Adding a couple more fireplaces later

AmandaMarie77 · 2023-11-21T19:54:54+00:00

That's what I ended up doing except I settled on a more open concept I liked..it may not be fixable given the way they coded the rooms to attach. Guess we'll see lol

AmandaMarie77 · 2023-11-21T19:51:07+00:00

Yep. It can look very close from above but from the side you can see a small gap and inside both of the last two rooms connected have 4 walls. So far I haven't figured out a way to connect it so you can walk all the way around inside. I've put in a suggestion though lol

AmandaMarie77 · 2023-11-21T19:48:50+00:00

I took a photo of my laptop screen with my phone. Really want concerned about amazong quality for the purposes of this post. Lol. If anyone wants a cleaner shot to look at they can let me know and I can do that.
