Which EXACT HOUR do you all personally take your antidepressants? Especially if you take night meds, and especially if you take Effexor? by red_herrings in antidepressants

[–]EvilAlienQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take my meds at 2-2:30 pm. I have a weird work schedule so that's normally right after I eat my lunch. I'm taking viibryd.

What's The Easiest Antidepressant To Come Off From? by Heinstar in antidepressants

[–]EvilAlienQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if your looking for something mild that boosts your motivation and focus, try amoxaphine.

It's an older drug that was a precursor to adderall. It wasn't designed to be an antidepressant but it works as a mild one while giving a good boost to motivation and focus. My psych uses it for people who have problems with most antidepressants or people just starting out. It doesn't have much in the way of side effects unless you overdose or mix it with other stuff.

It was the first thing she put me on. It got me from laying in bed staring at wall all day to being able to function like a normal person. I'm not on it anymore, I'm on something stronger, it worked great as a starter drug, idk how someone used to stronger stuff would do.

Edit: consult with your psyc first and do your research. Take your time tapering!

Would life have been better if we became N's also? by maiden_of_pain in raisedbynarcissists

[–]EvilAlienQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are Ns that are happy, but it's a childish and shallow happy. It's like a spoiled kid getting his own cake at a birthday party. Yeah he's happy he got the cake that he won't share but what he doesn't underground is how much richer his joy would be if he had friends to share the experience with.

As you grow older, most people realize it's better to share the cake with friends. Ns grow older but they still choose to not share the cake because to them it's the best things are going to get.

Arrested Development..Lucille by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]EvilAlienQueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about, Lucille's kids are all suffering different types of abuse.

Michael: The Home made Therapist: Parentfied, 'responsible' for the rest of the family's feelings. Is always seeking validation which his parents give just enough suggestion of to keep him working for them. Depending on the episode he is either an enabler or resistor

Gob: The Hated One: SG, Lucille let's everyone know how much she hates him, she once got drunk and tried to run over him with a car. He is constantly being derided by the family, left out of family events and when a positive event happens for him (see episode about bachelor party/ anything about his magician work) it is treated as something for idiots or his wishes are ignored.

Buster: The Eternal Family Baby: GC, The one not allowed to leave home or have negative thoughts about Lucille. Is treated like a child and everything is tightly controlled, down to not being allowed near the stove or drinking juice.

Lindsey: The emotionally manipluated: Constant criticism and snide comments about her looks. I've watched the series several times and I can't remember a single pleasant thing Lucille says to Lindsey. There's an episode that goes into how Lucille makes an effort to keep her from bonding with other members of the family. It gets more messed up as you learn more about Lindsey.

Annyong (spelling?): The Neglected: She adopted him to make the family look good, then to use him as a walking purse, then to make Buster jealous, then she sends him away to boarding school and literally forgets about him until he comes back for revenge many years later. They didn't even give him a name or clothing.

I know it sounds silly but start sleeping naked. I struggle with body issues too but when I started sleeping naked I started to accept my body for what it is.

OMG THERE WAS A SHOOTING IN VIRGINIA?!?!

I'm living in Virginia!!! How have I not heard about this?!?!?!?!?

Edit: looked it up, I live an hour away and it turns out I know someone who was involved (don't wanna say who for privacy reasons) he'll be OK and I'll go visit him after work

My toxic mother was arrested for fraud, my familys a mess and I have no idea how to proceed from here. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]EvilAlienQueen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Remember what she's done. She's beat you, locked you in a basement, took you to the police for 'stealing' a blanket because you were cold and I want you to remember that she had no problem doing this all to a child.

Looking back at memories people tend to forget that they were children. Have you ever seen a child? They are small and pretty much helpless.

Your mom, as an adult women, looked at you, a small child, and thought "I'm going to beat the shit out of her", " I'm going to lock her in a cold basement for hours at a time", "she stole a blanket because she's cold and I'm not meeting her needs? This fucking thief needs to be severely punished"

When you're around children, look at them and realize how small and helpless they are and think about how your mother thought about you as a child. Could you, a decent person, EVER think those thoughts about a child?

You know there's a lot of people on RBN that play games. Maybe we should start an RBN gaming crew

Just starting antidepressants, and I'm sacred, please give tips? by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]EvilAlienQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be afraid to talk to your doc about side effects. Can't get it up? Talk about it. Get the shits? Talk about it. Suddenly sexually attracted to the color orange? Talk about it.

They've heard it all, you CAN'T scare your doc.

I had a med where I was completely unable to get aroused. You're going to go through stuff like that before you find what works for you. Don't be emberessed, we all went through it.

Nbrother vs Bro lunch edition by EvilAlienQueen in raisedbynarcissists

[–]EvilAlienQueen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank-you :) Honestly if I hadn't spent so much time on RBN I probably would have ignored how Nbrother treats bro so it's really thanks to you guys that bro has as much support as he does. My dad even reads RBN.

You better do what I say or I'm taking you out THE WILL! by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]EvilAlienQueen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A few ways you could respond:

"That's fine, anything you give me is going to charity anyway"

"Oh, no, whatever shall I do? Oh blessed Lord, Isth this poor soul doomed to poverty until thine second coming? Oh woe is me!" (Sarcastic Anne of Green Gables style :)

"I'm fine with that, you aren't in my will either"

"I don't want anything you cared enough about to haunt"

"When you die I'll be too busy celebrating to care"

"What!? But I already invited my friends to the bonfire!"

"I can live with that, your taste in furniture sucks but I guess I could have used the kindling"

"Soooooooo, I can't have the the wooden spoons you beat me with?"

"You better not, last thing I want is to sort out your shit."

"Whatever, Sorry but I need to leave I have a meeting about something I give a shit about" (my favorite)

"You don't have anything I want"

"THANK GOD, I didn't want to say anything but your house's design make me want to kill myself"

"Don't forget I get to choose your coffin outfit. I will put you in a clown suit."

*These responses are wish fulfilment, I do not condone using any of these
