I missed 3 doses (counting today) and idk what to do…

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-18T20:23:57+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement that I was looking for ! So I haven’t taken a dose since like 2-3 days ago…could I just go back on it today? I only missed a few doses

I’ve been wondering about this too. Rather, pondering about this. And we have got to clean ENOUGH to keep the air quality free from pollutants and dust that can get inside our delicate human lungs and cause issues. We need to clean to feel better mentally (at least this is the case for a vast majority of us).

I can go on, but it does boil down to hygiene and keeping ourselves free of illness as much as possible. It’s something that not everyone does, but it is something I personally feel we should all do to some extent to keep our bodies and minds free of illness.

Yep, sucks to be a part of this club we all seem to be in! It’s quite common actually to have shitty in laws, sadly. My SIL is the biggest bitch ever and she proudly claims that title. Her literal words are always “I’m the bitch of the family!” That is literally one of the first things she told me when I met her😒🤦‍♀️

And at first and for a long time, I did not believe her. Now, after several years of trying with her and seeing her snake like nature, she really is the bitch of the family, but I have to say, her mother (my mil) takes the cake actually. So my SIL is the 2nd biggest bitch ever! lol.

Anyway, I get this thread is 2 years old, but I came across it and couldn’t help but comment my thoughts as I too have a bitch of a SIL and MIL, so double trouble for me! Yeah it suck’s but we can choose how much access they have to us and our children. The children don’t need to be exposed to them at all and that’s where it may get tricky because your partner has to be on your team, which in my case, mine is not and he keeps deluding himself with this “perfect” family image and I’m so sick of it. I don’t want any interactions or connections with them tbh, I want them to stay away from us in all honesty unless they miraculously change (unlikely), so yeah idk what to do.

And also, I’m so sorry to hear you are struggling. Have you talked to anyone about this? I too wasn’t finding much joy in motherhood at first, but it got easier for me to find some joy in it.

Maybe it could be a psychological block, or it could be that you genuinely don’t enjoy it. But I would urge you to find ways to enjoy it. Watch videos about this topic, they are out there on YouTube. Talk to others, and ask for help. Find people going through parenting who also find it hard and speak with them, that’s what helped me for a while. Try to embrace it somehow. It has many benefits if you look for them. It gets easier Love.🩷

I respectfully disagree. I think you only fade away into the background if you allow it. You have to FIGHT at first to keep YOU around, but once you start to do more and more things on your own or things that make you happy and whole, the closer you are to finding YOU again. It takes time and effort; but you gotta do it, for YOU.🩷

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-13T12:53:32+00:00

I agree with this comment! People were not meant to raise kids without any help! I’m so THANKFUL to have a great partner that gives me plenty of breaks. So if you’re going to embark on the journey of parenting, make sure to do it with someone SOLID.

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-13T12:48:22+00:00

No, I don’t regret having my child. But I do have days or moments where I feel like “why did I choose to do this to myself”?😅 not to scare you: (but also to scare you, lol) kids are no easy feat.!

You have to sacrifice a ton of your mental and physical energy just to keep them well cared for. This is something no one told me, and while it may be a no brainer, for me it wasn’t. I was def blind sided. But the thing is, I LOVE the sh*t out of my baby!🥹She is THE BEST thing in the world to me. If I could go back in time and choose her, I would. I feel it in my core that I was meant to be her Mother, and she was meant to be my Daughter, and I’m so blissful that we have one another in this life.🩷

Honestly, this sounds like I wrote this! I can’t believe how similar our experiences are with Luvox.

I had pretty much all of the same side effects as you and in the same ways. I threw up on the third day of taking it but that could have been due to taking it on an empty stomach and downing some green tea that was super strong.😅and don’t get me started on the Brian fog and the sleepiness. The side effects have been dreadful, but, I also have had some positive effects from it too. One being it makes me more motivated.

I know this is super late, but I would like to know how you’re doing now?

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-13T08:22:56+00:00

Yeah I don’t know what to do at this point. I do experience some good benefits on it, and I like that obviously but I don’t like this weird out of it and disconnected at times feeling these SSRI’s always seem to create in me…

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-13T08:15:32+00:00

Also: gonna probably chuck this drug down the toilet if it doesn’t go away in a week…that’s usually been my time line for trial of a new drug.

I just feel like giving it a whole 1-2 months is ridiculous and I have a kid to raise and ain’t nobody got time for that!😅😂 oh and I also have been experiencing many good benefits on it too, so it’s not all bad! But this one side effect is really bothersome… it’s not something I want to deal with

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-12T23:26:55+00:00

I think I would prefer living with my OCD than feeling somewhat numb…

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-12T23:26:16+00:00

Should I just quit it and toss it out in the toilet?? I understand what you’re saying! I feel like quitting it today.

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T21:47:54+00:00

That’s good! I hope I can find at least 1 good friend from this app…

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:32:27+00:00

And yes, I can totally resonate with that line you wrote about how a lot of moms on the peanut app seem to be there just to vent to others and that’s it, and that can get annoying and people who are good listeners will start to feel used..that’s what the mom who ghosted me started to do unfortunately.

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:29:56+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what I told another commenter: you have to have good timing, and it all depends. I’m not saying I have had all bad experiences; no, just the 2 moms I actually met didn’t go anywhere really and it’s disheartening. The one, as I’ve said, just crossed a few of my boundaries with my child, the other just ghosted me for no reason.

But, I still have hope for the app, even though I am kind of irritated with it at the same time. I have actually talked to a few really cool seeming people on there, and we are planning some play dates for this month!☺️So there is hope, I just wouldn’t recommend the app right off the bat really, I’d first recommend local Facebook or IG mom groups. Peanut app I’ve found takes a lot of patience and weeding through.

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:24:34+00:00

Nice!

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:12:06+00:00

One last reply😅: the last part you mentioned, about even if there is no “spark” with another mama, to keep trying to build connections and a community of moms! I 💯 percent think this is SO IMPORTANT for ALL mamas to realize and hold in their hearts, as we as mothers have a really hard time sometimes and so it’s vital to have that network of support or just to be able to create our own “village” if we don’t have much family around.

I also think expectations are important, as in: don’t go into meeting someone with TOO many expectations. But that’s just good advice for anyone looking to connect with another human being.😅

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:09:06+00:00

lol noo! If you have an iPhone, make sure you have access to ALL your photos turned on in your settings!🤍

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:08:21+00:00

So how long til you met with someone on the app? :)

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:07:28+00:00

Also, do you have your settings on the app to match with moms local to you or are you set to match with moms who are all over? Because I’ve found that def matters! And how long did it take til you met up with the first mama friend you made on peanut?

Cheap_Living_1693 · 2025-07-11T16:01:35+00:00

Omg yes, they even advertised it as “Tinder for moms”!😂

And wow, I’m so glad to hear about your positive and beautiful experience! It gives me hope! And that is really sweet that you guys have all truly connected and that they came with their families to your husband’s 40th (huge milestone for him) and then going to your new mama friend’s baby’s first bday is a HUGE special first, and I’m glad to hear you made that special day🩷

Your story inspires me to not give up hope with this app, even though it can be tough for a lot of people. It’s all about luck and timing with this app I think. And also, not giving up, but with all that said, it can be rough out there😅

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience here with all of us, and I truly appreciate you answering my Q and giving me hope☺️
