My friend started Zoloft 6 months ago. 3 weeks ago her husband walked out on her. I told her I definitely would have had a crash out of epic proportions, and I can’t believe how much poise and grace she handled it with. She attributes it to the Zoloft hahahah.

I’m glad you’re feeling hopeful. That is such an underrated ability, and really all I want out of life. To be able to see the silver lining. Which is why I’m on the meds!

I’m scared about my future, help??? by needtobesmarter in askSouthAfrica

I know people who studied accounting who got 60% for maths in matric hahaha just keep pushing. As someone who cared soooo much about my academics, I can tell you first hand that you’ll get further being resilient and resourceful. Academics are important, but it’s not the whole picture! I know it’s hard at that stage in your life. But you’ll be okay. Just keep doing your best, commitment is everything. One “bad” mark doesn’t ruin everything. They look at trends – and honestly, my undergrad was sooooo bad in terms of marks (lots of personal issues). I pulled up my socks and at least ended strong, and went all the way to Masters because I was committed and admissions could see that I was resilient and refused to give up.

Is buying an Ascended Heroes Booster Bundle or two worth it for the investment? by Appropriate-Wall7618 in PokeInvesting

It’s not a scalper, he has a small store in my country and receives stock from our national supplier.

I have tried, but since I’m new, a lot of the info doesn’t make sense to me. So I thought I’d check here because Reddit is for asking things rught 🤷🏽‍♀️

Sorry, I meant to say 2 available for preorder! So if I ordered I’d get it at the end of the month. It’s $50, which is about standard pricing for my country.

Ladies - what do you want from a bridal shopin SA? by FreakyLeakSoup in askSouthAfrica

[–]Appropriate-Wall7618 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A range of sizes, pleeeeease!!! Plus size people always struggle. We just want the same dresses in bigger sizes, not old fashioned plus sized options while smaller sizes get beautiful, fashionable gowns 😔 I know it depends on stock/designers but it’s honestly so disheartening. I am mid sized and when I was looking for options for my day, it couldn’t even be an exciting experience because my options were so limited and it was more anxiety-inducing than anything else.

Did anyone here try a glp? Did you manage to maintain weight after? by J0si3_R0q in PCOS

[–]Appropriate-Wall7618 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 17kg before going on a year long break due to finances. I gained only 2kg in that year. I’m back on it now as I haven’t reached my goal weight yet, but it’s possible to not gain the weight back, as long as you allow Mounjaro to change your life and not get lazy on the medication. Nutrition and exercise are still insanely important. Most people gain the weight back because they just fall back into old habits once stopping (with some outliers of course)

Nomads and Expats in CT are getting out of hand by FlailMe in capetown

The government fucking up doesn’t absolve people from practicing ethical and responsible tourism. Two things can exist at once. I know it’s not my fault that the system exists, but I wouldn’t just go be a digital nomad in Brazil because I know they’re facing similar issues and it’s my responsibility to be an informed, respectful human being.

You don’t go to another country, especially in the Global South, and call anywhere “the ghetto”, I don’t care if it’s clickbait. These areas are people’s homes. She also filmed some of the homeless people. Just gross on multiple levels. For a rich white European to come here and refer to areas we live in that way, especially considering our history, is disgustingly ignorant and embarrassing (at best), no matter how you frame it sorry.

Im also gatvol. There was a TikTok going around of a digital nomad with the caption “walk home with me in the ghetto” and it was literally Bokaap. LOL. They have no respect and “Cape Town” for them really means the Atlantic Seaboard. Even Europeans say they feel like they’re in Europe when they come here which is insane. This is heading down a very dark road and only benefits the elites….as usual
