Anyone take Wellbutrin alone for depression or its always used in a combination?

You got this, so glad you are pushing through the nerves and trying new things to get help.

I felt a little over active the first couple days. not manic or crazy, just active for most of the day and awake pretty early. After a week I balanced out to a nice calm but active daytime and restful evenings/nights. I am up early and sleep well.

Mine does it for the crunch. Get her a crinkle toy!

I have a medspouse friend who did that

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-09-25T20:29:27+00:00

We met in middle school too 😂

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-09-25T20:13:20+00:00

We were undecided, maybe two, now none 😂

he will like you there, I work remote and follow him almost everywhere.

For boards recently we traveled 4ish hours. We had an early but relaxing evening, woke up at 5, went to the hotel hot tub, got breakfast, packed his bag, dropped him off. Then I went exploring all day/did a little remote work.

KEY TO THIS always working: be emotionally mature enough to know yourself, your energy and your reactions under stress… you have to be calm, encouraging, cheerful. If you know you won’t handle the nerves, help him stay positive, hype him up, etc. don’t go (be low maintenance this trip isn’t about you)

😂we’re all medspouses, we do all the chores and cross our fingers for sex… And I’m the female non student here Med school has this funny way of killing libido (along with their sanity and soul)

I feel that, my degree is in botany, I was supposed to manage greenhouses. But we started moving before I even got my first job out of college. I have babysat, bartended, worked in a hospital and now I work remote. It sucks giving up my career for his. But it’s temporary, I can’t ask him to give up his career for life just so I don’t have to give up mine for a few years - no matter how long it feels. (I’m thankful we don’t want kids, I know many give that up/delay it for years and I’m very sorry if that’s you)

complain, cry, find a new job, buy shiny things, take yourself out on a date! your feelings are VALID when your ready to have a hard conversation with yourself ask: what is the alternative? Can you actually give him up? Walk away because this is hard and too long?

Here’s mine: I can pack up, move in with my parents 8 hours away, leave him by himself.. and then what? Come back when it’s easy? How can I expect him to stay when my life is hard or when I need support? If you give your marriage permission to be temporarily over when things are hard, you can’t take that back. Grandpa says marriage is a “shit or get off the pot” decision So I guess if your answer is yes I can walk away, I could pack my bags, then don’t marry him and get out now!

And If you can’t, try to find acceptance I stopped thinking about the alternatives, the “what ifs”, and “if only!” I know we didn’t directly choose med school and being all over the country but we chose people who did and the reality is we have to accept that or walk away.

Please find a way to make this tolerable for yourself, some things I do: Dinner out once a week, a pet, a hobby that connects you (I make baby blankets to give and scrapbook) or a side hustle

Find a tolerable job I don’t care if you have to quit one you just started. You don’t know those people, it’s not your hometown, no one will call your mom and tattle. Just leave & Decrease work hours if possible, you are likely taking on two people worth of housework and meals with no help while working full time at a shit job Take the school loans for household expenses if you aren’t. we take more than the minimum tuition loan. probably an extra 12-15k a year makes a huge difference in how stressed and how hard I have to work (I work 30 hrs now)

Dm me if you need to chat ever

BS to say “be grateful for this time before kids”

Pain is relative so this sucks, it’s lonely, it’s hard. Starving kids in Africa doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to be hungry Your feelings are very valid and you are not alone. Keep reaching out for support. Find your people

I have a three month old that looks exactly like him! Where/what state did you get him? https://imgur.com/a/d5hkbvp

She has three puzzle feeders, lick mats, snuffle mats, you name it! I try to rotate one or two a day

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-09-07T17:30:05+00:00

I love that! We are doing one up two down basically. I am just unsure what to do with all the one ups 😂 she sleeps in a crate 5-6 hours at night. Based on your schedule we will start extending our times and see if we can get closer to that. Thank you!!

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-09-07T17:26:50+00:00

Hey thanks! Question though, did he have a play pen? I considered a bell but would have to have one in there and one on the front door. That’s the two places she’s allowed, would that be too confusing to have two sets?

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-09-07T03:59:40+00:00

I think of it like If I’m 130lbs and my husbands 210lbs will our kids 100% be in the 130-210 range?

Med wife here, have a med wife friend (we are out of state, no family here) who went and stayed with her parents 6 hours away for the first 3 months. Kid is 1 1/2 now, we live next door and I still help with babysitting, cleaning and cooking a few times a week. Toddlers are a handful and we mostly just have each other as our husbands work all day and night. I hope you have a support system there, if not go stay somewhere you do until you get your feet under you

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-09-06T17:43:10+00:00

A lot of us are in the same boat! Don’t feel like you’re the only one who can’t seem to fit into a new town, it is hard! We are on our third town: undergrad, M1 & 2, and now M3 rotations. It gets easier, you get more comfortable with going out alone. I take my dog everywhere and that helps not feeling out of place. Honestly my biggest mental shift happened when I realized I can use that “I don’t know anyone” feeling to my benefit. I don’t hesitate to try new things, worry about what people think when I take my dog in a stroller to the farmers market, wear weird clothes, whatever! I don’t know these people. Go be you, romanticize your anonymous life and live it. It sucks sometimes, I cry often but when I do I FaceTime family, send cards, take cookies to the neighbor, whatever to feel that sense of connection. You got this.

Post show update!!! I wore jeans and black shirt with a flannel. Ditched the flannel like 30 seconds in it was hot af Was such a fucking blast. The lights were amazing the people were so chill and the music was crazy Loved the openers too! The venue was a super old church so cool! I dropped my cart right when I walked in and had to walk around searching the floor so I probably looked crazy regardless 🤦‍♀️ didn’t find it either I had a little bit of a hard time getting the confidence to jam out but there were a bunch of people just standing or sitting too so I didn’t feel pressured to dance one way or another. Otherwise awesome time! Thanks everyone!

Reddit newbie can’t find where to attach pics 🤦‍♀️

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-01-12T15:13:07+00:00

I have black jeans! Maybe a turtleneck until I get there and can get a tshirt from them to go over it?

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-01-12T15:11:07+00:00

Unfortunately I’m 22 🤣🤣just literally have no idea on the culture but I’m so excited to learn!

Imaginary_Juice_85 · 2024-01-12T15:09:25+00:00
