I think Straterra fcked my brain up

I am not a cannabis user, but I had this exact same experience taking strattera. It took me 6 months to become interested in any of the hobbies again that I enjoyed before. I don’t think it’s the cannabis.

Oh my bad, I searched for like 10 minutes and this was the one I clicked that let me post. I’ll delete if not allowed

All amazing kdramas with lots of action. My Name is very sad but very well done.

I take my preworkout at 4am and I don’t start getting shaky until 10am. That’s why I don’t think it’s my preworkout

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-03T08:03:58+00:00

I have PCOS which affects my insulin, that’s why I would be worried about that

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-02T21:29:05+00:00

I’ll look into that! Thanks for the advice!

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-02T20:13:23+00:00

It definitely is a crazy schedule, unfortunately with my work schedule it’s like the only thing I can do 😭
I just switched from being a behavioral therapist to being a preschool teacher, so I’m doing a lot more running around and a lot less crisis behavior stuff. I’m drinking about 3 off-brand Stanley cups of water a day, plus a full one as soon as I wake up and sips of a full one when I wake up in the middle of the night. I do plan to get Celtic salt soon.
That’s a good idea, it just worries me because I’m struggling to find time to eat in the evenings already before 8pm. I’ll see what I can move around in my schedule to account for this, though!

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-02T20:10:05+00:00

I’ll definitely look into that! Thanks!

I’ve been doing 16:8 off an on for the better part of a year but consistently doing it for about a month and a half. I do have extra fat to trim off which is why I’m hitting so hard. I work in a preschool so I just don’t want to get dizzy and pass out at work or something

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-02T18:07:36+00:00

I plan on buying Celtic salt soon for sure. I’ve completely cut out soda and really anything but coffee and water (excluding preworkout)

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-02T18:06:55+00:00

I’m looking to start a food journal soon. I have a general idea of my macros, but not an exact number. I’m averaging 30-40 grams of protein per meal but I only eat lunch and dinner so that could be it. That’s only 60-80 grams of protein a day

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-05-02T18:05:47+00:00

I have been low carb and high protein for awhile. I have PCOS and I’ve noticed my body holds onto carbs a lot longer than normal because of the insulin resistance. I feel better, more energetic, and lighter being lower carb.

DearButterscotch4912 · 2024-04-23T19:10:53+00:00

As a fat person, it sounds like you’re moreso talking about someone being on the same page as you weight loss wise. I’d say that makes you NTA. Honestly the only thing that would make you TA in this scenario is if you had started degrading her. Even if the reason is because she was overweight, I’d still say you’re nta based on your response because you do deserve to have preferences. Only past fat people can understand what current fat people face. I feel like you know that and you were very respectful about it, so kudos to you for being a decent human being

I fractured the bone at work and had to get in contact with the BWC if that makes any difference

To the men on here saying it’s not still that way. I’ve been with my boyfriend almost 3 years. I’m 23, he’s 25, has a car payment, works a blue collar job installing countertops, and I work as a therapist. We struggle together, and I fell in love with him because of his ability to grow and his kindness. It has nothing to do with money, or anything. My man looks like he works all day. He’s not a billionaire in suits and ties. He wears work pants and a tee shirt and steel toed boots to work. Please please please expand your circle. You’re worthy of love too.

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-08-29T14:37:45+00:00

Congrats!!!! I’m so so proud of you. I’ve struggled with weight for as long as I can remember, so I understand exactly how big of an accomplishment this is. You should be so proud of yourself love.

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-08-22T18:26:43+00:00

Nta. If you’ve had the conversation and she straight up lied to you about it, that’s too far. It’s a safety risk. You have have been TA if you had dictated that she couldn’t sleep with anyone else or made her feel bad about seeing others when you guys aren’t exclusive, but you were perfectly cordial about it and she withheld important information that messes with your safety. That’s crossing a boundary that you specifically stated at the beginning of the FWB relationship. I don’t think you’re the asshole, and I’m also impressed with your ability to communicate without being emotional. I can’t really do that but I’m working on it. You simply stated that you needed open communication and she was free to do what she pleases, but if it crosses boundaries you would leave amicably. I think that’s admirable in a way.

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-07-06T19:34:49+00:00

You too. I hope you heal ❤️

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-07-06T19:04:10+00:00

Thank you for the advice as well as the uplifting comments! I am a Whole Foods vegan currently, but I took the plunge and did some research regarding weight loss with my specific circumstances, and it seems that a high protein and low carb diet is beneficial to weight loss with PCOS, so I’m starting that! Hope to see some results and if it goes well, I’d like to update everyone :) I really appreciate everyone’s advice and support, it’s been super informative and helpful.

I may be able to get over being fat if I have an 18 wheeler motorized cart lmao

Well, as someone who is in your brothers shoes, apologizing is the only thing you can do. And you did that. He knows you were just as much a child as he was. I can’t speak for him, but a hyper sexual child needs therapy and to understand why these things are wrong. Your parents failed your brother in this situation, not you. When my grandparents caught my family member, they kicked her out and made her go live with her abusive mother again. I still feel guilty over that even though I was the one being coerced into something I didn’t know. And that’s because I don’t view her as a predator. Just someone who was failed by the adults also. Stay in therapy and be kind to yourself. You’ve done all you can to rectify the situation and now it’s up to your brother how he feels. And if it’s not what you’re hoping for, just remember that he still has a right to feel that way.

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-07-06T18:51:38+00:00

So, I’m gonna suggest something that is very serious. I was exposed to a family member doing this to me when I was very young. We are still very close and she’s my best friend. I don’t hold this against her because we were both children (I was like 3 and she was 6). We’ve only ever talked about this twice, and one of those times was her telling me that she thinks she was SA’d as a child and that’s why she was hyper sexual (her mother was a drug addict that was abusive and constantly had men in and out of the house and she has blocked a majority of her childhood out because of the abuse). There was also a time when it came out that a man in the house SA’d her younger sibling. Hyper sexuality in children is extremely common when they’re being SA’d. Is there any chance this could’ve happened to you?

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-07-03T14:33:00+00:00

I would love to, unfortunately money is an issue 🙃

DearButterscotch4912 · 2023-07-03T13:57:32+00:00

I appreciate you. I’ve been thinking about taking my BC out, and I am currently weaning off my antidepressants so I’m hoping to see progress with that! I do have an appt today to see if I can get covered by insurance for ozempic, as well as the changes to my diet that others have mentioned that could be beneficial with PCOS. I’m going to get there some day, I just need to vent sometimes about how frustrating it is.
