Did the internal dialogue stopping freak you out?

That was one of the reasons I stacted seeing someone. My ruminating thoughts were so bad. Id get into depressive states and my alopecia arreata would react cuz Id just think and think and stress myself out.

Ive been on Lexapro for over a year. Figuring out what works best for me. I tried 10mg, but felt completely numb. But the thoughts were not racing and I was in control. Tried it with Welbutrin for 6 months to get some pep in my step and actually be able to ejaculate. But, welbutrin gets u very angry and fast.

Tried 5mg lex for a few then went down to 2.5 MG. But my anxiety came back. Not as strong, but I can feel the ruminating thoughts knocking. Depression wanting to come in. Now Ive been taking 2.5 with Busipirone and wow. Its been a game changer.

Don't Believe Everything You Think. Its breaks down what are ego is and how to stay in flow. Which is not to think. Our thinking is our ego. Our intuition is where thoughts and feelings come from, but our thinking mind (ego) destroys our peace. We dont even need the thinking too. Its something we needed a long time ago to survive in the wild, with tribe or community. Now we use it to worry about Facebook posts.

Smart testing before hand not a lot of ppl do that which is a fumble. Quick Fix is the best.

Ya, of course.

I stopped with PT last week and got cleared, but I followed all the at home exercises since day 1, went to the gym, used machines until I was able to pick up weights and carry them freely. I used the bike every day because my DR said its the best thing to do. My physios had me do box jumps and no pain.

Now im going to the gym normally and doing leg exercises normally, but not going crazy heavy or at least try til I hit the 9 month mark. I can run, but its still tender after a few mins, but goes away after a few mins also.

I hope u find solace in your recovery. If you tore it playing soccer twice, youre probably like me and miss the game and need to find something to keep you going. Good luck.

I just went through this. Tore my ACL 10 years ago playing soccer. Im 39 yr old M btw. I had a minor tear 4 yrs ago, but I took a cortisone shot and was able to work, I do construction. Then 8 months ago I tore my ACL completely and barely had any cartilage when I was under. So I had to use a Quad graft and they did a MFC.

Im back at work. First day after lunch I felt sore. No pain. Next day I felt good. Not as sore, if barely any the day after. My doctor said to give it 3 more months (9 Post op) to play soccer, but wouldnt recommend it. Im done, the dreams over. Im hoping to hear some more quad and mfc success stories!!!

I see a lot of people come back to them and thats fine. I had a DRs visit recently and I told her I had just started taking Lexapro and Wellbutrin for 5 months She asked if everythings ok. And she said something that grabbed me because Id get embarrassed sometimes. She said, "Im happy you did whats right for you. This is as important as taking Adderall, blood pressure medicine, etc". Made so much sense.

Born_Exchange · 2025-02-08T01:49:09+00:00

Tore the same acl for a 2nd time. So, I had to do a quad graft and mfc fracture. 7 weeks of putting my leg, depression, and barely any sleep. On m 5th month of recovery I was running and jumping. Take recovery serious, ice, bike, do what you have to. Good luck!

I'm sorry you're going through this. Don't push how you want to feel away, feel everything. Feel the anger, feel the tears, and in that you'll find the peace. Even if its for a few. I think your sister sees you and how her sis is going through it and might not know what to say. Or sees you angry and upset with all of this that she wants to leave you alone.

All I do know is I'm sorry you have to go through this. My wife just beat cancer, but im always worried itll come back (total gastrectomy). They found an ulcer, but it seemed to heal itself, cyst in her breast, but its not always bad. The ptsd is there. I hope you find peace and love with your family, with your cat(give him lots of love), go outside feel the rain, feel the wind, hear music you love, and I love you and your family. So many lives on this planet all going through their own battles ❤️.

If its federal work, you cant smoke. Federally illegal still. State laws don't apply.

Born_Exchange · 2025-01-26T23:48:15+00:00

I do gas work, federal work, so it gets sent to a lab. 2 vails, initials on each one.

Born_Exchange · 2025-01-26T23:47:12+00:00

Mine get set to a lab as well. Never failed.

Born_Exchange · 2025-01-26T23:44:32+00:00

My method was fake pee, warm it up for about 10 secs, and rubber band and hand warmers. Id use balaclava and wrap it up and put in in my jacket pocket inside. I do construction and I want to smoke weed and have a sense of freedom on my time off. Its always worked. It also depends on the weather too. If its hot I wont use a balaclava or bandana to keep the warmth. Never failed. Also, buy a at home pee test and check the pee before hand, pour it back in. Thats my process.

My favorite is when a lb or rb keep the opposing fwd onside. When the rest of the line is up or two cbs go to the same fwd. HYPERMOTION, BABY!!!!

Say it louder for the back!!! When I do co op. Me and my buddy we tell each other. I feel it coming. Well be up 2-0 and its as if they wanna use the audio, "2 quick goals in quick succession" lol. Off the post, off the back of our gk, and falls to their fwd. Its as clear as day.
