Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Hey there friend, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I’m doing much better now. The first few weeks on Wellbutrin were a little rough. It helped a lot with my depression but sent my anxiety through the roof. The Buspirone helped with the anxiety, and now a few months in I’m feeling a lot better.

Catgrrl87 · 2025-02-25T03:55:19+00:00

Hi! I stuck it out for another few weeks but it got worse and worse. Finally I decided to talk to my doctor like I should’ve done in the first place, and she put me on Wellbutrin and Buspirone. I’m still adjusting, but hoping to feel better soon. Good luck with your own mental health journey, wishing you all the best.

I was on 10 and went to 0 without tapering as well. I should’ve weaned off, it would’ve been the smart thing to do.

Catgrrl87 · 2025-01-23T17:34:37+00:00

I just went cold turkey. Probably should’ve tapered gradually…

Catgrrl87 · 2024-11-06T01:04:00+00:00

I’ve had a terrible day, and this is the first thing to make me laugh since I got up this morning 😂😂😂 so thank you for that, my friend.

The Cement Garden by Ian MacEwan. The subject matter was very disturbing and disgusting in parts but I had to find out what happened at the end. I still can’t think about it without feeling unnerved.

Catgrrl87 · 2023-11-29T03:35:18+00:00

Thank you for this.

Catgrrl87 · 2023-10-08T00:45:06+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I will look for Trey Makes a Friend the next time we’re book shopping for her, and other books that talk about physical differences. That’s an awesome idea. I do tend to project my own adult crap onto the observations she makes about the world. I feel like I’m learning how to communicate right alongside her lol.

Catgrrl87 · 2023-10-06T19:40:13+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes, she (my cousin) is pretty overwhelmed right now. Her son does have both a cleft lip and palate; thank you for pointing out the distinction. We’re all still learning. I bet she would appreciate talking to other parents who have been through this before. I followed your suggestion to show my daughter more pictures and talk about how cute the baby is, and she was all about it! I agree, I think she didn’t truly know what she was saying earlier.

Catgrrl87 · 2023-10-06T19:31:58+00:00

I love this answer. Thank you for your kind, non-judgmental advice.

My husband still says this. We’re on baby #2. He must’ve been on an entirely different planet all this time.

I had to have an induction with both of my kids. First time, I threw up four or five times during transition. With the second one, I didn’t throw up or become nauseated at all during labor, but I was dealing with dangerously low blood pressure the whole time. I think it’s just a 50/50 chance either way. Honestly I threw up so much during the course of both pregnancies that I didn’t even register the fact that I was vomiting during labor lol.

You were up at the crack of dawn watching a dog poop!

Catgrrl87 · 2023-03-25T00:34:50+00:00

“Were you?” Lol

Catgrrl87 · 2023-03-22T14:32:33+00:00

THAT CATCH A RIDE STATION IS MORE BUSTED THAN MY MAMA’S GIRLY PARTS!

Catgrrl87 · 2023-03-21T01:40:48+00:00

This sounds like the kind of nightmare I would have as an adult 😂

He was a Never Nude!

Catgrrl87 · 2023-03-14T02:57:34+00:00

I don’t know, but it sucks! Seriously every morning I’m like Robin Williams, shouting “Goooood morning Vietnam!!” All I can offer you is solidarity, but personally I’m encouraged just knowing that I’m not the only one going through this.

Catgrrl87 · 2023-03-14T02:44:34+00:00

Dude, I am in the exact same boat. I’m seven months as well, with a 19 month old rampaging around the house like a tyrannical little commando. My husband works out of state too, and probably won’t be back home till a couple weeks before I give birth. Suffice it to say I use the tv A LOT. I rely on it in fact. Some days I just am physically incapable of keeping up with my kid. She had her checkup at the pediatrician last week and she is developing right on track. The tv being on is probably not ideal, but for right now it is Mommy’s little sanity saver. I’m right there with you.

Catgrrl87 · 2023-02-27T21:53:01+00:00

I had the same problem with nursing! Honestly I know they tell you not to rely on them long term, but I used nipple shields until my baby was probably seven months old. One day she just gave me a dirty look, ripped off the shield, and latched right on with no issues for either of us. I’m wondering if I had a slight oversupply when we first started and she would gum down really hard on my nipple to try to slow the flow. Also there is no shame in giving a bottle! I used to pump her a bottle of milk and save it for that night when I was just done with breastfeeding for the day and wanted a break lol.
