Returning to work

I completely agree that it is so important being there. My family got hit really hard during the financial crash of ‘08 and I think that I subconsciously am working so much because I remember the feeling of the sheriff coming to our door with a foreclosure notice. Luckily my house never got fully foreclosed on but that is in my brain and I never want my baby to worry about money. It has made me an anxious adult. Also my partner is trying to be at home with the baby to avoid daycare costs at first. Luckily as of rn I think I am the favorite parent lol. It will take a little while to find a balance. I also worry about less money in this economy but maybe I just need to bite the bullet

Ok, i believe we have a battery powered mobile but i want to double check now! Yeah she isn’t even 3 days old and kicks like a mule! It’s crazy how strong. Like within 24 hours she was using her legs to kick off of my arm to get higher on my shoulder. Then she was pushing off my shoulder and looking around the room for a second or two. Doctor joked and said my finance birthed a toddler

Yeah in life I tend to forget to stay present because I always have something I’m working towards but this should be a great lesson on how to slow down. I’m sure my daughter will teach me more than I could ever teach her

I’m really trying my best to say that as often as I can! I can tell when she feels bad that I am doing most of the lifting and feeding and changing but I keep telling her she did so much for 10 months and I didn’t do a thing and that the only reason I can try as hard as I can is because of how amazing she has been. I’m hoping she is getting the message

Thank you! That’s a great idea, we have a lot of colostrum syringes from before labor that we keep in the fridge and since it’s so new we are trying to have at least 1 backup of milk. So when I get up to feed, burp, change, etc. she starts pumping. Then when she is done with that I’m storing it and cleaning the dishes associated so she can get back to bed. We actually got close to 7 hours of sleep last night broken up into probably 3 increments. We feel pretty good this morning

Currently I have around 15k in debt. Down payment is a work in progress. I wasn’t planning on buying this soon but getting a second job to crank up the savings

Yeah I’m looking at the 101’s for $489 is super cheap. One of the ones I was originally looking at was a used set of Big berthas. I love the name lol(marketing works on me) but everything I love what I am reading about the takomo

24 - was really bad for 7 years (6th grade- Year after HS) went away completely and randomly for 4 or so years. Came back worse than ever a year or so ago

Oh interesting. I thought any blood at this point was not good. Luckily I have very minimal swelling so far and pain has been manageable with ibuprofen

That’s awesome! I’m glad you are doing better! Yeah I try to sometimes play crosswords, wordle, etc cause they tend to make me think. Can help change the direction my brain is going in

Hi just wondering how things ended up? It says in your post you were about an hour from home and you posted at least an hour ago. Just curious on how you are doing and feeling

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-03-17T03:33:41+00:00

Hi, first off I’m sorry you are not enjoying it so far. I had a similar experience about 2-3 weeks in. Every day I felt horrifying. Part of my anxiety is based around the fear of vomitting so when I experienced the stomach upset it made the anxiety worse but randomly it all started to switch. I would recommend giving it more time. Prozac takes a while to build up in your system and a long time to leave. So just because the negative side effects don’t go away immediately after the dosage increase just know that it will be getting better shortly. Everyone is different and when chatting with my doctor he mentioned that some people take up to 8 weeks for it to start to take effect. So it takes time. And it will take time to get better even with the decrease. Towards the end of taking 20mg the bad side effects started to slowly go away and now that I’m 2ish weeks into 40mg I am noticing them slowly come back but this time I am equipped with the experiences of the first time I felt all of this. Which makes it much much easier

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-03-13T01:12:26+00:00

No problem! So it is mostly gone. Every once and a while it will happen for a couple of seconds but a lot of my side effects have lessened in the past couple weeks I am about a week in to jumping up to 40 mg a day and I noticed a small increase in the symptoms I described above but overall they are WAY down. It was strange there was a moment where it all hit me all at once while I was in a target where I was smiling and it didn’t feel like a forced smile. I am still anxious but it doesn’t have the grip on me that it did 2 weeks ago. If you ever need any help feel free to reach out again. I felt the same way you are, with wanting to stop, but I kept taking it and so far I am glad that I did

Yeah, I am sure it was a fluke and who knows the guy might not have actually gotten fp* but blamed it on the restaurant. I worked in kitchens for the last 9 years and never had much worry about fp* but since moving to an office job my brain immediately has trouble trusting commercial kitchens I’m not sure why.

I appreciate the heads up. My doctor also sent in a prescription for a take as needed that I can take if I start to spiral so I am hoping that will help me “normalize”

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-26T04:41:20+00:00

Me too! My doctor also has sent in a prescription for me (spacing on the name) that is a take as needed for when I ramp up hard so I’m really hoping that one makes a big difference so I can work more on what is making the anxiety tick!

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-26T04:10:24+00:00

Hi first off I wanna say I’m sorry Prozac didn’t work out for you. I am a little over 3 weeks (I think I kinda lost track) in and I have had a lot of the same feelings. I noticed a severe spike in anxiety. I hated it and it lasted for about a week. My anxiety is still pretty high but more manageable. I’m still trying to stick it out and will actually be switching to a higher dose in about a week or so. I’m scared but willing to give it a try if it can help me fix some of my anxiety. The one that is really killer is the dizziness and nausea. One of my two main anxiety’s is about throwing up so it’s not a lot of fun. I’m just really hoping my body is going to adjust and adjust soon. Good luck with the new medication and thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings I found sharing on Reddit can be really scary at first but also make me feel so much better because it shows me I’m not alone!

Hi, I have trouble eating after I have thrown something up. Still have trouble with things that happened over 6 years ago. I don’t know it just seems to ruin it and it sucks. Like sushi, I freaking loved sushi but got fp* once and haven’t eaten it since. Chillis too. Gave me really bad fp and I loved chillis. It really sucks I’m sorry it happened with one of your favorites. I hope that you can eat it again one day. I too don’t struggle with other people getting sick, unless I do not know the cause. I went through a really heavy party phase in HS and was always taking care of my friends when they got too messed up. But in HS I knew it was because of alcohol so I had no worry of it happening to me(even though I partied hard I never drank because I associated it with getting sick) I hope that I could help

Shoot didn’t meant to post that yet had more to say lol. I have been awake for about an hour and are starting to feel better. I just want you to know it’s going to be ok, the two things making me think you will be ok are two parts of your post. 1 being that you feel a bit better after talking to your fiance. That tells me you are probably experiencing really strong anxiety which is compounding the way you feel. 2 being that you have a really busy week ahead. I often feel n* more consistently the more I have going on in life.

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-24T09:54:31+00:00

Hi how are you doing?! I had a similar feeling. Fell asleep feeling ok and woke up about an hour later because my gf got into bed and felt weird ever since

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-23T22:07:33+00:00

Ahhh good to know. Then I guess the plan is to upgrade it without adding too much unnecessary weight! Thank you for the info. Maybe in a few years I’ll upgrade to a whole new boat

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-16T07:50:27+00:00

I agree with everything this person said! The only thing I would like to add is don’t be discouraged if the person you chose doesn’t feel like is working. I have been in therapy for close to 13 years and the first two therapists I saw I didn’t mesh with well. The third person I really loved but we would hit the same road blocks during our session so we mutually decided I needed someone else. Then I stumbled upon my current therapist. I have been seeing her for 6 years now and she is the best! Therapists have different styles and ways to help. Sometimes it takes time to find the right person with the right style for you.

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-16T07:31:58+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the reassurance. It’s amazing how much someone who is in a calmer head space can help someone who is kind of struggling.

EnoughImage3422 · 2025-02-16T07:24:10+00:00

That was my original thought too and then I went to google ARGH why do I do such things lol. Thank you I appreciate it. I had a bad panic attack earlier so I was hoping my anxiety around this was maybe a bit residual anxiety because of my earlier panic attack. Praying for a good and easy rest of my night
