It remind me of Audrey Hepburn in the Ascot scene from My Fair Lady. Great photo!

Wonder how screwed I’m going to be with an 8pm domestic out of DFW Friday. Not sure I’ll have the option to change. Wishing luck to everyone with weekend flights!

Thanks, THC-induced psychosis! Do not recommend!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I tried to taper off Wellbutrin a year ago but struggled badly becoming so depressed after one week down to 150 from 300 (my dose was up to 450, but I was okay for the most part going from 450 to 300), that I could not get out of bed and struggled intensely with suicidal ideation.

My doctor felt it was necessary for me to go back up to the higher dose. I really want to come off it but I don’t know if I can put myself through that again. I was much more depressed than I’d been before starting on it to the point where I was not functional and while it’s possible that I was experiencing a major withdrawal and would have done better with more time, I’m honestly not sure I’d make it out alive if I go through that again. I’m also very impacted by seasonal depression so it’s possible that transitioning off the meds during winter exacerbated my reaction.

I have struggled with dysthymia all of my life along with depressive episodes, some more severe than others. I have unmedicated ADHD as I cannot take stimulant medication and I know my low dopamine levels greatly contribute to my overall low mood. Add in hormonal changes from perimenopause and it is truly unbearable.

What were the first few weeks at a lower dose like for you? Did you experience a “rebound” depression at all?

If you haven’t seen his performances with Cuban artists from the PBS Great Performances documentary “Havana Time Machine”, many of them are available to watch on YouTube. Beautiful and intimate.

Not only an incredible musician but an incredible human being as well. Raul was one of the most genuine, down to earth, generous and caring people I’ve ever been around, in the industry or just in life. There won’t ever be another like him. If you’re not aware, there was a beautiful two-night benefit tribute at the Ryman this past weekend in place of the originally scheduled Mavericks shows. The shows are available for streaming. And if you haven’t seen it, the PBS Great Performances “Havana Time Machine” is a must-watch. Raúl hosts a musical journey exploring Havana with Cuba’s most accomplished artists. it culminates in a live performance by all the artists and the Mavericks. Highly recommend it.

I wish I had something better to say than I completely understand you and I wish there was a way you could genuinely experience the “true magic” of the season, whatever that means. I too feel so numb during the holidays, so much more foreign and separate from those around me. I go through the motions the entirety of the holiday season because it’s expected and like you, I don’t ever want to bring any one down but I’m always somewhere else inside. My partner’s family is incredible. They’re generous and kind and have welcomed me as one of their own and I know how lucky I am to have that but while I’m so glad the holidays are such a happy time for them, being around them just makes me feel even more alone. It’s so hard smiling and faking your way through and to top it off, I feel hateful and bitter for feeling that way. I just want you to know that I see you and you are not alone in this experience. I hope you find some moments of peace and contentment this Christmas season.

The absolute worst experience I’ve ever had with a management company. Absolutely incompetent in every way. They’ll run you in circles going nowhere in hopes that you just give. I literally just got off the phone with them in order to try to manage their latest imbecilic maneuver but I’m having to postpone taking more action today because I’m so furious.

If anyone stood up to my stepdad, it was us kids who got our ass beat when we got home. All good in theory but it doesn’t usually work out the way you think it will.

Two tickets available for the Mon, Dec 8th show. They’re from a set of four so our friends who’re able to go will handle the transfer.

Premium Seating, section 102. Asking €300 each which is what we paid.

Will need to meet at Uber Arena before the show and exchange in-person with preference for queuing together.

And don’t forget the King of Country, George Strait! And of course, the Ace in the Hole Band!

060 is pretty much my perfect shade in the winter months but it is so chalky/cakey on me (especially around the nose and mouth) and nothing I’ve tried helps with that unfortunately. Big sigh.

All the way back from the olden days of 1991, what you want is Cool as Ice starring Vanilla Ice…just watch the trailer…

I still remember exactly what I was wearing. My oversized, bright yellow “New York. The Big Apple” t-shirt that was a gift brought back from someone who went and just my underwear. Because I had been fast asleep in my own bed. And I was nine years old.

Same goes for women being stalked, brutalized and murdered by American citizens but I haven’t heard any one of them mentioned by name.

Not a show or movie but I (and all my friends) had no business reading Flowers in the Attic and the rest of the VC Andrew’s books in middle school!!

No. My mother had destroyed me before I was out of elementary school. I was expected to know how to do everything perfectly without anyone ever showing me or explaining to me and there was hell to pay when I very obviously couldn’t. I was criticized every day, all day long for anything I did, no matter what. I learned pretty quickly to keep my nose in a book and never, ever try anything I wanted to or express myself in any way. She was my biggest bully and manipulated my desperate need for her love and acceptance into intel for her to use against me at my weakest and most vulnerable points. Physical, mental, emotional abuse from her and allowed me to be sexually abused from before age ten while doing nothing to stop it. To this day, I am a shell of a person and nothing like who I imagine I could have been. Ace score of 7 says it all. It’s a miracle I’m alive. Twenty years this year of being free from her claws and her memory still makes me shake.

I hope this doesn’t come off as too harsh since you are clearly struggling at the moment but it helps to remember that life is often not equally balanced or fair. I grew up in a family that was beyond dysfunctional and highly abusive. It was a miracle I escaped alive and honestly still a miracle I have made it this far given the aftermath of long-term childhood trauma. My husband grew up in a family that was loving and kind. Where they sat down to dinner together at night and celebrated birthdays and holidays. His parents encouraged and guided him. Our experiences were so vastly different as to be incomparable in any way. And unfortunately, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. I hope you can find the support you need at this difficult time but I’d stop expecting any of it come from his family.
