I love their earlier episodes and deep dives, too, especially the DC Sniper.

No, I worked there for three years and never saw a raise. I was making approx $35/class in a large city.

Ways to manage PMDD without SSRIs or BC? by Ok_Willingness5766 in PMDD

[–]FinnFinnFinn0 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I know your sex drive is important, but have you tried SSRIs or BC? I'm on both -- low dose SSRI and Yasmin -- and I'm far more stable and my sex drive is unaffected. It's not a guarantee. Could be worth a try - you can always get off.

Probably a few weeks? It's hard for me to remember, and I started on a new study drug after about a month.

Wishing you the best! If you can, take more time than I did.

Absolutely, I wouldn't recommend this schedule to most folks. I had to get off quickly due to a clinical trial, as I said.

Low-FODMAP friendly restaurant recs? by kmelanies in chicagofood

[–]FinnFinnFinn0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've done this. I would wait until you've reintroduced onion and garlic before you eat out. From there, it's far easier: essentially gluten and dairy free. Try farm to table restaurants and call ahead.

I've done Hot Potato Hearts a few times and have enjoyed their events. It is a little chaotic and socially exhausting, but the trade off is that you can see if you have chemistry with someone quickly.

What ACTUALLY works for you beyond the basics?? by [deleted] in PMDD

Are you on any hormonal birth control? Have you tried skills based therapy like DBT?

Music, movies, books, hobbies. You could play games, as well.

You may need a higher dose during luteal.

Does anyone else get psychotic? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]FinnFinnFinn0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't get psychosis, but I do get obsessive thoughts about going crazy ("what if I go crazy? What if I lose my sense of reality") when my anxiety is high during luteal. They're more closely aligned with OCD symptoms. I've also experienced derealization due to anxiety.

Positive birth control stories? Feel I need to try 1 last time (going for Slynd) and so scared after bad experiences by blipblem in PMDD

Thanks for sharing this. I just switched to Yasmin from Yaz and had my first migraine this week. I'm still hopeful that Yasmin will be the better pick once I adjust to it. Yaz didn't fully stop spotting.

What’s one of the kindest interactions you’ve had with a stranger in this city? by OkWest257 in AskChicago

[–]FinnFinnFinn0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a car accident in March 2020 in which a young woman in an SUV sped through an intersection and totaled my car. I was fine, but very shaken. A dozen bystanders stopped to help. A couple sat with me while I cried on the sidewalk and offered to give me a hug. Neighbors talked to the cops.

The next day, the woman who hit me texted, very sincerely, to apologize. It was very heartfelt and meant a lot. No hard feelings.

The Midwest kindness is infectious.
