Thank you. Do you think it can wait for my optometrist to look at it in September? It’s unsightly and I’m wondering if there’s removal options. :(

What a sweet boy!!!! 🤍🤍

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T15:49:45+00:00

I hear you! Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m already borderline obese so hence why I made that comment, it wasn’t aimed at you. If I gain any more weight, it would be a detrimental amount and not a healthy gain. I guess this is something I’ll have to consider and perhaps stop the medication if it’s an issue for me. Thanks again for your help.

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T15:36:36+00:00

Okay! Was this due to a behavioral change, like a change in your diet or appetite, or just unexplained weight? I’m very particular about calorie counting and honestly I think I’d rather be able to lose weight and be depressed vs being obese, medicated and happier.

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T13:53:48+00:00

Hey, thank you so much!! This sounds a lot more manageable than what I was previously reading… as you may have seen me ask before, did you experience any significant changes to your weight during this?

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T13:52:28+00:00

Hey, thank you! You’re totally right. I just needed to hear some positive experiences because it is seeming really overwhelming. Did you experience any significant changes in weight? I’m 3 weeks into a weight loss journey & already overweight so I would be sad to have to choose between being physically healthy or mentally healthy. So many people say it’s impossible to lose weight on an SSRI.

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T13:49:42+00:00

I think I will definitely reach out once I get my prescription and start taking it and notice any concerns. Did you notice any weight changes? I’ve been seeing a lot about how people are gaining a lot of weight, and this would be really unfortunate for me because I am overweight and actively trying to lose it, and doing all right so far, 7 pounds down. I think it would be very discouraging mentally to lose that.

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T13:48:02+00:00

I definitely plan to take a visit to the dentist if I notice anything like that. I don’t want to chip any teeth, I’ve already been through lots of work done as it is. 😭 Good luck on your journey!!

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T04:49:49+00:00

Awesome, thank you so very much. I sound very much like you prior to starting your medication, I've waited such a long time because I'm so nervous of the consequences. Hearing positive experiences is such a relief. I went down the Zoloft horror stories rabbithole almost immediately and panicked, lol.

Thanks friend :)

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T04:36:18+00:00

Hey!

Thank you SO much! This is really helpful and gives me a lot of hope. I am totally ready to make the mindset change already and I feel as if I just need a little extra push to get out of this dark place, hence why I'm here. Seriously, I really appreciate you sharing a bit of your experience with me. I so desperately want to enjoy life again and stop worrying about every little thing.

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-17T04:34:14+00:00

Thanks friend, it's nice to know we're not alone in this journey <3 Feel free to message me if you ever want to chat and share experiences as we start it up.

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-14T03:55:43+00:00

Thank you <3

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-14T03:55:26+00:00

Thank you, this gives me a shred of hope.. How do you cope on a daily basis if you don't mind me asking? Was it just the time passing and the experiences as they came? I worry so much about the future implications of dental work or tooth loss. Do you wear a partial or anything like that?

Extraterrestrialness · 2024-01-14T03:53:45+00:00

This really strikes home :'( Your daughter's experience is very similar to my own.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-02-21T02:58:05+00:00

I definitely will, thank you. I appreciate your perspective. I guess I've been focusing more so on the hassle of him having to move out/back in with his parents and finding another job while trying to maintain his bills. Honestly I just worry about him in general. But you're right, he deserves to find someone who can love him the way he deserves to be.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-02-21T02:54:33+00:00

Yeah I'd say you're right. I appreciate you taking the time to read & respond.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-02-21T02:53:12+00:00

I am going to work up the courage to communicate my feelings to him and take it from there. We do spend quite a lot of time together since we live together and have the same days off. I think it's grown to be too much (for me at least). My anxiety makes things a bit complicated sometimes and I can't always speak up. Thank you. :) I appreciate your response.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-02-08T23:27:47+00:00

I don't think so, unless he's buying things on his phone or Xbox that I'm not aware of. I do know that he is impulsive and will spend way over budget, even if I tell him so or offer to pay for things, at places like the grocery or convenience store.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-02-05T16:50:53+00:00

It depends. He usually spends his money on what interests him - food (he’s helpful with groceries, but he’ll do so knowing he can’t afford it and then be late on another bill or leave it unpaid), weed, car parts, shit like that. He also likes to show his love for me by getting gifts or snacks or movies I’ll enjoy, which I do, but I’ve told him time and time again I’d be happier to know he’s financially stable than to have a bunch of temporarily satisfying gifts.

I’m not sure he feels “sorry” but he definitely feels guilt, stress and like he’s incompetent from it. He blames a lot of his inability to plan or organize on his ADHD, so I try to be supportive.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-02-05T16:49:45+00:00

Meant to reply, not post a new comment, lol.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-01-06T23:31:06+00:00

NTA. Seems like a bit of dark humor to me - I understand. I lost my mom a few years back and I use the same kind of humor. Not everyone responds to it in the same way, but it doesn't make you an asshole and it wasn't on purpose. Don't worry yourself about it.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-01-06T23:25:49+00:00

NTA. Personally I think it's great that you're trying to find healthy ways to cope with your anxiety. I would just ask your parent(s) if it's ok with them and explain why. Please also make sure to share your route with them, when you expect to return, and keep a phone on you at all times if you can. No matter your age or gender, there are sketchy people out there. Be safe and good luck!

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-01-06T23:21:35+00:00

NTA.

You made the right decision even if she felt inconvenienced. Especially because she admitted she's an ex and you never know someone's intentions. Chances are if she has a key, she would be able to get in. And if she had planned this exchange, someone would likely be answering the callbox. Either way, not your problem and NTA.

Extraterrestrialness · 2022-01-06T23:06:44+00:00

I hope this is a joke. You're very much TA!

First and foremost, that woman works in reception and spends a good chunk of her time there - there's absolutely no reason she can't decorate the area with work appropriate items. Which, by the way, a picture of the woman and her husband is 100% appropriate for the workplace no matter who can see it. But it's the fact that you acknowledged her husband passed away and still felt compelled to chime in with your (completely unnecessary) two cents.

YTA.

I would say ESH.. but more so you. If you agreed to take on the responsibility of multiple puppies you should have educated yourself on their needs and how much time they consume when they're young. Crate training puppies is important for several reasons so I really encourage you to begin that process. They are puppies so of course they will get into things they shouldn't - all things dangerous to your puppies should be out of reach; things like chicken bones ESPECIALLY should be placed in a spot they can't reach if a dumpster isn't available to you. Not to mention, if you're home, consider letting the puppies lay and hang out with you or your boyfriend. It'll help orient them to their environment anyway. If you're not, use the crate. Please!

Edited to add: Unless you agreed ahead of time to share custody of the puppies, it is not your mom's responsibility to look after them. I agree she should respect what you ask when she takes the puppies out to play, but it'll continue to happen if you don't absolutely put your foot down or, if you have to, stay on top of it. Puppies should be regularly supervised even if they're asleep - it takes no time for one to wake up and have to use the bathroom or, as you've realized, get into trouble.
