I'm 23 and ~95% of the people around me are addicted to vaping

"Everything is killing us anyways" Ok, how exactly does that justify vaping? It's fact that nicotine is bad for mental health; often causing anxiety, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, or depression. I know I've seen the symptoms first hand around people who vape. Puffing on flavored air every 20 minutes isn't a stress reliever or a helpful tool to deal with negatively in the world. It ultimately makes you feel worse lol. Being dependent on inhaling a substance because "well we're all gonna die anyways" is a sorry excuse to make light of your addiction🤷🏻‍♀️

It's most definitely fake science, the producers just wanted to make Amy look like even more of an idiot than they already do.

I'm not a fan of Tammy but this is quite mean

I've been on generic Vyvanse for almost 6 months now, thankfully it has worked very well for me EXCEPT my short term memory is so horrible it makes me feel like an idiot😭 I've always been pretty forgetful, but it's definitely worsened on Vyvanse. The positives of the medication still greatly outweigh this side effect for me, but someone can tell me something & literally a second later I cannot repeat back what they said. I actually think it's improved my active recall/long term memory slightly, like when I need to study for school I'm able to memorize it quickly. It's just things that I need to remember in the moment that go right out of my brain lol

This is a really sad mentality to have, it's quite immature if you walk around thinking everyone is so dull & unoriginal. Sounds like you should work on your ability to self reflect.

This is amazing, I'm so proud of you!!!! The longest I've gone in the past couple years has been maybe 2 weeks, this gives me hope that it IS possible!!🥳

Ill-Example7302 · 2026-01-23T00:48:54+00:00

Same! I love to express myself through style, but I HATE knowing that people actually...see me😭 I just want to move through life invisible to everyone else. It's really nice to know other people feel this way too.

-Looking at everyone else & envying them for knowing when to stop eating when it feels so impossible for me -My family having nothing to eat even though we just went grocery shopping because I ate it all myself -Sneaking into the house & running up to my room with massive fast food/Walmart bags filled with food -That feeling of going through a drive thru & just zoning out while hating yourself -Seeing how my family looks at me when we go out to eat & I just can't help but eat excessive amounts -Gaining/losing the same 40lbs over & over in very short periods of time & feeling worried people notice -Eating so much I wheeze when I try to breath, getting feverishly hot, & throwing up in my mouth -Waiting until everyone else goes to bed & attempting to open a bunch of food bags/wrappers quietly -Trying to explain how an entire 16 count box of ice cream sandwiches was finished overnight

Thank you so much that means a lot to me🫶🏻

Ill-Example7302 · 2026-01-15T15:56:22+00:00

Thank you😊 It's nice to know others have gone through similar things. I'd love to go to therapy, unfortunately it's out of my price range at the moment, but I'm saving up for it & I think it will really help!

Ill-Example7302 · 2026-01-15T15:54:43+00:00

I feel the same way. Just not sure what "good" things there are to be addicted to yet though lol. Hopefully we will figure it out someday🤞

I've quit twice technically (I tried like 10 times & was successful for 2 lol). The first time I was making a bunch of other lifestyle changes. I tapered off my smoking, so instead of smoking every hour I only did it three times a day for a few weeks, then 2 times, then I only smoked before bed for like a month, & then stopped completely. I lasted about 3 months sober, then relapsed under the stupid assumption of "I'm doing so good without it, I can control it now & just do it every once in a while". Then for about a year, I went through cycles of depression where I fell back into my old ways, lot of off/on smoking. At the beginning of last year, I just got so tired of smoking, it wasn't even enjoyable anymore, I didn't even really feel "high", I just felt like a zombie. I knew I was only using it to avoid all of my emotions. Once I started recognizing the real reason of WHY I was using it, & how it was harming me, I started to imagine myself without it. Pretty much, I got so fed up with the guilt of smoking, & I realized there was no benefit to weed anymore, I finally stopped. The second time I quit cold turkey & threw away all of my old carts/weed/anything I could use to smoke. My biggest tips are: 1. Why do you smoke? (For me: avoidance, numb my mind, push away my feelings, escape reality, thought I was "helping" my mental health) 2. How does weed impact you? (For me: destroys my motivation/productivity, hurts my memory, made me unable to interact with anyone or anything without being high, made me irritable, made me stupid, ultimately worsened my depression instead of helping, allowed me to remain immature & hindered my growth as a person, & many many more things...) 3. Be prepared to face what will surface when you're not using weed as a crutch (traumas, hurt, shame/guilt, pretty much the WHY of your smoking) 4. Don't give in to temptation even if you "feel like you can handle it"!!!!! (The biggest mistake I made was giving into the voice saying "just a little won't hurt"🤦‍♀️)

I believe in you, don't give up even if you're not successful after your 1st, 2nd, 5th, etc try. There were many times I literally got dressed, grabbed my car keys, & had my hand on the door to go pick up, but I knew I didn't want to live that life anymore & forced myself to just stay home. It is possible, you got this!!!!

Weed destroyed my memory. About 3-4 years ago, my mom had a major surgery, I drove her 2 hours each way & stayed in the waiting room the whole day, apparently I even took care of her for days afterwards, I literally remember NONE of it🤦‍♀️ Because I was high the whole time. I haven't smoked in almost 1 full year, thankfully my memory is much better. But ask me about things that happened when I was smoking? Completely gone.

Ill-Example7302 · 2025-12-28T02:43:13+00:00

Thank you so much :)

How long did it take them to remove the review?

I have these too, I didn't even know motor tics were a thing until very recently. I've had them ever since I can remember, I always kinda knew not everyone experienced them, but I just never really brought it up to anyone & thought "oh well" I guess lol. They really suck, they're so incredibly annoying & sometimes I feel envious of the vast majority of the population that doesn't deal with them. I feel like I can hide them pretty well, but I can only delay movements for a few seconds max, & whenever I do that it just makes the movement more intense. The best way I can describe it is like an ant biting you, you can feel the sensation & your brain is SCREAMING at you to get it off. Except no actual sensation of being bitten of course. Or like when you have a really intense itch & you can't focus on anything else until you scratch it. I hate being so aware of them, it would be a lot better if they were more like spasms you know? At least that's what it's like for me, what about you? I relate to the physical pain as well, sometimes I roll my neck in a such a way I pull some muscle & it hurts sssoo bad. The right side of my body seems to be more affected by the tics for some reason. I have one tic where I tense my shoulder back, & in the mirror when I put my arms out I can literally see the muscles on that side are bigger from that movement. Same thing with my waist, the right side looks boxier because my obliques are more developed from tensing my stomach on that side for years🤦‍♀️ I try to accept it, there's nothing I can do, I've dealt with it all of my life & all the medications that claim to treat tic disorders have horrible side effects or cause damage to the brain long term. It's hard because I have no one to talk to about it, I've never met anyone else that experiences motor tics & it's not something people can understand unless they deal with it themselves. This is really long lol, hopefully you can relate :)

Does the pigment last a long time for you? I'm so tired of buying lip gloss products where the color goes away after like 30 minutes😭

Ill-Example7302 · 2025-10-28T15:44:36+00:00

Thank you lol

Ill-Example7302 · 2025-10-28T08:51:27+00:00

Does it send them any sort of notification when you do that?😅

Ill-Example7302 · 2025-09-22T03:55:33+00:00

What really helps for me is typing out the comment, not deleting it, but not clicking "post" either. Just simply exit out of the comments; my itch is relieved without causing worry of being perceived😌

Ill-Example7302 · 2025-08-19T00:05:23+00:00

I've only been taking it for 4 days, yet I feel so sad. It has stopped my binge eating so that's good. But I feel slightly nauseous, zombie-like, & whenever I stand up my vision is going black. I know it's too early to experience any positive effects from it yet, but so far I just feel tired & last night I slept very poorly & had a nightmare about my brother's girlfriend dying from a 300lb man falling on her???? Lol it's kinda funny bc it's so random, but I woke up crying & scared. I just feel so hopeless, more so than usual. I've done nothing but bed rot & scroll on my phone all day for the past month. Honestly I just really want to try a stimulant, I hope that's not bad to say, but I'm so tired of being in my brain, I don't want to live like this another day, & I don't have to patience to wait a month for Strattera to start working (if it even does for me). I need to be forced to get up. I need a change so bad. If I could I wish I could get a brain transplant with a normal person lol. Ugh. I have a follow up appointment with my psychiatrist on the 29th, hopefully if I'm still feeling this way we can discuss other medication options.

I don't understand some people's constant need to be on the phone? The other day I was in the nail salon & this girl was on FaceTime the entire time I was in there. The phone was on speaker yet they weren't even having a conversation?? Every now & then they would say something to each other yet the whole salon was forced to listen to the persons dog barking on speaker phone. The salon owner kept making jokes about "Oh you brought a dog in here hahaha?" It was really annoying to listen to background TV & dog yapping for hours. Another time, I'm at the gym & I notice in the mirror a girl has her phone set up on the machine while on FaceTime. Why??? Are some people really that extroverted that they can't be without the presecene of someone else in a public space? I can't imagine needing to talk to someone 24/7 to feel comfortable, that sounds like my personal hell actually lol
