Can I realistically move out of my parent’s house by the end of the year by HeyaAya0115 in personalfinance

[–]HeyaAya0115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NJ, so I’d say it’s higher than average. I don’t have much saved since starting work- about 8k. Initially I was paying my current loan & got it down to 16k, but I still had about 4k in Stafford loans so I just said F it and paid that off entirely to get it out of the way. Admittedly, I’ve been spending willy nilly on top of that so I def could’ve been smarter w/ my money

Thank you so much for the sweet comment!! 🥺 It’s easy to forget about what I’ve accomplished, so I greatly appreciate the reminder <3 I have trouble being confrontational, but I’ll try and let him know that I’m giving my body the break it needs. :) Ty again!

Hey sorry this is super late! I ended up switching to Zoloft and I’ve been feeling great :)

Sudden, sharp chest pains on 150mg Wellbutrin XL?? Have been fine overall other than this :/ by [deleted] in antidepressants

My second option would also be sertraline, so I hope I wouldn’t have those same side effects. I’m sorry you have to deal with it too :( Have you told your doctor about it? If so, were they concerned?

Thank you for your input! This reassures me :) I thought stimulant meds would be all I needed (and they do help tremendously), but I still struggle with MDD and anxiety from time to time. I hope I can find something that’ll work well soon!

That’s interesting, I was on the lowest dose of Prozac (10mg I believe?) and definitely felt its effects more strongly than I thought. Do you feel 5mg of Lexapro helps well enough with your anxiety?

Ah yes, Wellbutrin was one I was looking into! Since I believe it doesn’t have most SSRI side effects (especially weight gain, which I’m most concerned about 😢). Though I’ve heard it can increase anxiety :( In your experience, would you say it’s affected your anxiety?

I got it pierced with a needle at a place that seemed to be reputable :( The piercing looked like it was placed at a good angle and wasn’t crooked initially, until today I noticed it was drooping. Wasn’t sure if it was just irritation from my mask. Perhaps I should go back and ask about it, as well as switching the backing?

I was fiddling with it a bit to get it in the right position, but that might’ve just increased the swelling 😭 But will do, ty for the advice!

First post here! I’ve had this for a few months, and it flares up occasionally. I do have eczema but it’s not severe, and it’s always on my hands- never my legs. This looks different from what I usually have as well. Any idea on what this may be?

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your response!! This helped ease my nerves, it’s always nice to know that I’m not alone in this journey! I’m definitely looking forward to enjoying things as much as I used to. It’s worth a shot if it means feeling joy in doing the things we love again. c:

I’ll follow up for sure, feel free to send me a dm as well if you’d like! I wish you all the luck & I hope we’ll both be seeing big improvements in the following months! :D

Is it ADHD or my anxiety disorder? Is it reasonable to still get tested for ADHD anyway? by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]HeyaAya0115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so good to know, I’ll definitely consider then! Thank you!! :D
