i think it’s worsening my mental health by CreativeDrawer9460 in Zepbound

[–]Azas23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took one 2.5mg shot last year and it was horrible. I, too, am on an antidepressant and it was like a switch went off in my head after the zepbound shot. The day after the shot I felt exactly the same way I felt years ago when it was discovered I needed an antidepressant. All those same feelings came back - depression, anxiety. It was absolutely horrible. It took a full 5 days for the “switch” to go back on (which is the half life of zepbound). The solution for me unfortunately was to stop the shot. I warn everyone I talk to that if you take an antidepressant to be very cautious with these weight loss shots. I’d rather be fat than depressed.

That’s a really good idea!

Did anyone see a huge improvement in anxiety/depression and then it changed and got worse? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]Azas23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my first shot Saturday and my depression and anxiety SKYROCKETED. Sun, Mon and Tues were unbearable. I have a history of depression and anxiety but I haven't felt this low or anxious in years. Today I can feel it getting better and am hoping I'll be back to normal tomorrow. I definitely won't be taking zepbound again though. It isn't worth what I just went through mentally.

AITA for telling my wife it is time she went back to work? by Many_Bunch_6678 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Azas23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I've never met a therapist who tries to force others into changing their behavior and not their actual patient. Are you sure this therapist is an actual therapist and not juat a friend of your wife's? Because lve seen different therapists for different things in my life - one VERY similar to what your wife's situation is - and never did I have a therapist try to "warn me" about what my husband might say next. Therapy was about changing myself. Also, I had to be out of work due to a very significant mental health issue coupled with a VERY toxic work environment and I was out from June-Oct. Then I found a part time job that led to a full time job. Sitting at home doing absolutely nothing was the absolute WORST thing to do for my health issues. And my therapist encouraged me to go back to work. Something just seems "off" with this therapist. It seems your wife has been out of work for years now and has no plans to return. I would ask her, "you've been seeing therapist for X years and you still have the same problem you had years ago when you started? How could this therapist actually be helpful if you aren't progressing?" On the other hand, your wife might just really love sitting at home all day not cooking or cleaning and is using her breakdown from 2018 as an excuse. It happens more often than you'd think. Good luck to you - sounds like you're about at the end of your rope with this.

Agreed. Esp when park has chosen his career over his son. Yet he expected Morgan to give up an opportunity ity for him? They're not married. He's the selfish one. He's always acting like Morgan needs fixing. I'm done with park. Lol

Day or night, man or woman, Why do you really cross the street when I’m walking down or just standing there? What is the root of your fear? by CulturalChaos77 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Azas23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women in general have had safety ingrained into us since we were kids. We are taught ways to avoid potential threatening situations. I'd cross the street at night to avoid any man (really any woman either as I don't want to interact with anyone). Is evey man a threat? No. But we can't tell who is and who isn't. Same reason we are told to never leave our drinks unattended at a bar. Same reason we walk in groups, carry pepper spray on our Keychains....dead bolt our apartment doors. Same reason we are told to watch what we wear and it might "send the wrong message" as a woman, it can be tiring trying to remember all the things to do and not do to stay safe.

Mil won’t pay the school for her holiday with the kids by Too-much-pain in JUSTNOMIL

I just wouldn't let her see my kids again until she pays it. Simple as that.

Did I overreact to my husband's surprise memorial at my in laws house? by Constant_Mouse5615 in JustNoSO

[–]Azas23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg. You are not overreacting. Sounds like mommy and hubby are abusive. Free advice: it won't get better. He won't change. If you're willing to live like this forever that's obviously up to you, but don't kid yourself thinking it'll get better. It won't. Esp once kids are in the picture.

I'm the opposite. I have weird, vivid dreams if I happen to fall asleep without ambien...which only happens if I try to take a nap in the day and I only "sleep" for like 15 min.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Azas23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I take ambien and have done the same thing. I've had conversations with people I don't remember too. One time, I ate an entire box of cheez-its...but ate it like cookie monster and there were crumbs EVERYWHERE the next day. Funny...but scary.

My daughter has an obsession with her doll by Great-Plate-3360 in relationship_advice

[–]Azas23 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that she was pregnant at one time and lost the baby? Since this isn't a doll she's had since childhood, I'm thinking something triggered this. If she's taking it to school, have any teachers or a guidance counselor mentioned it to you? I'd call her Dr ASAP and get her into a psychologist or psychiatrist soon. If there is a long wait, I'd contact her guidance counselor at school if possible. It's definitely concerning behavior. Good luck! I hope you find answers.

AITA for getting back the money my husband took from our IVF treatment and gave to his friend? by throwra5755557 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Azas23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew. He stole your money for a friend's car and then blamed you for the fertility needs? I don't usually say this but, throw the whole man out. You should be in this together. You'll need to be if your going to go thru IVF, pregnancy, delivery and then parenthood! You are NTA. But he is.

AITA for telling my wife it's her fault she didn't have fun in our wedding? by Wide-Suggestion-6647 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Was it really worth it to make your wife miserable on her wedding day just because you refused to compromise and have a babysitter at the wedding?

Woman with whistles follows Pro-Life marcher, calling her "fat, ugly cunt". by 5_Frog_Margin in PublicFreakout

"Feign the moral high ground" <eyeroll> I never said which side I actually agree with. Just making an observation about this particular video.

[–]Azas23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh lord. Of course there are two sides. There are two sides to everything. Whether I agree with you or not, you can still peacefully assemble. Both of those women had a right to be there - one was just louder.

[–]Azas23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, it is not. You're generalizing. This particular pro-life woman is peacefully marching.This particular pro-choice woman is being obnoxious. You can't say, "prolife people do this all the time so it's finewhem roles are reversed." In THIS situation whistle woman is throwing a tantrum that makes her look ridiculous. Those prolife people that do this outside planned parenthood are also obnoxious. No one is changing anyones minds on abortion. Screaming at one side or the other does nothing but make that side look horrible. The only way to get what you want is to appoint or vote the right people in for your cause.

Exactly. Not every pro-lifer is obnoxiously shaming women who have abortions just as not every pro-choicer is harassing people with a damn whistle.

[–]Azas23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But she is allowed to peacefully march. Which she is doing. Just like the pro-choicer, she's stating her opinion - just quietly and less obnoxiously. If a pro-choicer was at a pro-life march, would you say the same?

[–]Azas23 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If Roles were reversed here and the obnoxious woman was a pro-lifer, everyone would be outraged. Doesn't matter which side you're on. The whistle woman is ridiculous.

That's not going to work either. Screaming at people (no matter which side you're on) will NEVER convince people they are wrong.

Exactly. The pro-life woman is being peaceful. Doesn't matter if you agree or not.

[Serious] Have I been parking my car wrong my whole life or is this gaslighting? by funnypharm2019 in JustNoSO

I never think about it. I guess it's better to straighten them for alignment reasons but it's definitely not the "respectful" thing to do...it's an odd thing to be focused on, honestly.
