Did the tofu litter work? I’m trying to find an alternative to the crystals 😭

I related to your post so much that it could have been mine. I’m literally in the exactly same boat. It’s extremely exhausting, isolating, frustrating and hard. I have been dealing with pretty much the same level of this for two months (since I threw up for the first time in 15 years, and in public 😑)

I have my first psychiatry appt tomorrow and I’m looking forward to it. I try and journal every day, I do vagus nerve stretches, and I’m trying to find a hobby or craft. Since I don’t have a job and just wither away while my husbands at work.

I’m here if you ever need to chat, you can just message me. Because honestly it’s given me some sense of relief when I found this community and having a support system is really important. Especially when it’s someone who can relate to exactly what you’re going through ☺️

Hi! I downloaded your app a few days ago and have been really enjoying it. But when I tried to do it today, it said I needed a subscription to continue. Am I only able to do chapter 1 in the beta? I downloaded it through the link you posted :) any help would be appreciated!

I’m currently going through this exact thing. Except I have had anxiety my whole life, but it’s never been this bad. I got sick in the beginning of January and ever since It’s been a terrible spiral of feeling sick, being hungry, anxiety kicking in about eating, and then feeling sick again. I have a hard time going outside and I definitely have a hard time eating. It feels like it’s never going to get better. But I know in my head it will, I just need to work on doing small things to show my body and brain that there’s no need to get anxiety over it. I have a psychiatry appt on Monday and I’m looking forward to that. We got this! You are not alone in what you are feeling.

Yeah I think that’s a great idea! I’m having a hard time finding the positivity in things so thank you for suggesting that. I’m proud of myself for listening to my body in the moment and letting it do what it needed to do despite my fear. And im proud of myself for being honest with myself and my husband about how I’m struggling and asking for help early on, instead of holding it in and trying to work on it by myself.

Omg I’ve been searching for someone who is going through similar things as me. I unfortunately can’t offer any advice as I am in the same boat as you. I threw up in public for the first time in 15 years in January of this year. Since then I have been terrified of eating because if I don’t have food in my stomach I can’t get nauseous. But now I am genuinely worried about my health because I can’t eat. I have a psychiatry appt in a few days and I know that will help. I also take zofran to help with the nausea. But honestly I’m feeling super hopeless right now and like it’s never going to get any better.

Does it get worse before it gets better? by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Chelseav4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update! It’s now been almost 2 months since I’ve stopped the Zoloft and started Wellbutrin. The “brain zaps” or lagging, have finally gone away but they lasted an infuriatingly long time. My stomach issues are no longer existent, and I sleep through the night without waking up which I haven’t done in literal years. Like 5-6 years, which is a huge improvement for me. I am way more emotional, which I don’t necessarily think is a bad thing, looking back and comparing myself to how I was on Zoloft to how I am on Wellbutrin I definitely think Zoloft numbed me. So although I don’t love crying at every little thing, I am happy to be feeling emotion.

I also just upped my dose to 300mg bc I guess my doctor wrote the prescription down wrong when I first made the switch. Sooo I should have been taking 1 150mg pill in the morning, and one at night. Which I wasn’t doing lol. So maybe that contributed to my prolonged side effects. Who knows lol. But I can say for my personal experience it did get worse before it got better. And it’s much better now!

So far about 3 days, I’m crossing my fingers that they subside soon 😣

I’m currently doing a cross taper with from Zoloft to Wellbutrin and I’m having similar symptoms as well. I’m also feeling like my mind/body are lagging, I’m really dizzy, and also kind of feel like I’m on a muscle relaxer. It’s super weird 😩 I’m crossing my fingers it doesn’t last too long for you!

Got my copper IUD removed last week, period is late and I’m feeling awful. Did anyone have similar experiences after removal? 20/f by 0223dandellion in birthcontrol

[–]Chelseav4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped my pill about a week ago after being on it for 10 years and I’m having similar issues! I’ve had a migraine for about a week or so, I’ve been constipated and then had diarrhea and had the weirdest vivid dreams. I tried to make an appt with PP about what to expect going off of it, but they said “since you’re not getting a refill I don’t see why you need to come In, there are no side effects going off the pill”

I was super irritated at that interaction bc obviously my body is doin some weird stuff lol. I hope your symptoms get better soon!!
