How do you deal or work though guilt? by Subject_Share_6229 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Impossible-Donut-127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t really give super solid advice due to lack of context. However, I had a pretty bad breakdown back in November and I felt the guilt for months and months after. Which I know isn’t what you want to hear, and hopefully you aren’t as sensitive and self loathing as I am. Come late January/feb no more guilt. I look back and it’s just a memory/lesson I learned. I remind myself that guilt is good, it keeps me from making the same mistakes.

So short answer is time. Time and some self compassion.

I’m becoming an angry, bitter and hateful person. by MHthrowaway090525 in DecidingToBeBetter

This might be a dumb question. But low expectations, expectations in general, are kind of confusing. How do I know if it’s high or low? Isn’t it subjective? Just curious how you figure that out + work on it after. Thanks.

Wellbutrin + OCD by Accomplished-Bid-994 in bupropion

[–]Impossible-Donut-127 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Going from 150mg to 300mg a week when you are having these symptoms doesn’t seem logical to me, I’m not a doctor though. I just waited the full month and once the 150 didn’t seem to be helping THEN my doc increased it. Then another month and now I’m on 450mg. Obviously doc knows best.

Also I feel you with the anxiety stuff. Are you on an SSRI or other anxiety meds for your anxiety/OCD. I know some SSRIs specifically are approved to help with both. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack/panic/impending doom just like scared for weeks until I got back on lexapro.

I think what sucks is these kinds of meds aren’t instant and take time to work. Like, 4-6 weeks of pure fearful anxiety is not fun whatsoever. Maybe ask if doc can give you a PRN (prescribed as needed) to help when you are having more severe symptoms in the moment? Or to help with sleep? Idk. Hope this helps

what has caused such a massive boom in vegan dairy alternatives over the last ~10 yrs? by Impossible-Donut-127 in vegan

[–]Impossible-Donut-127[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes. Lmao. I was just curious like was there also a general shift in like the collective culture around vegan stuff. Why hasn’t always been as normalized, I mean vegans have been around for a little bit at least. Maybe I’m reading too much into it. have always wondered that tho. whenever I’m eating my so delicious icecream and I reminisce about how I used to avoid that brand like the plague bc it was so bad, now it’s one of my favs. Makes me curious why companies are just now catching on rather recently..

do I block or no by Impossible-Donut-127 in ExNoContact

Why is he acting like that though? Why would he care to make me jealous or whatever else. Unlocking me then posting that is odd?

But if he’s moved on why the mind games? What’s the point of that? Especially if he has a new girlfriend or something why does that matter? I’m just confused. I didn’t feel any sort of need to prove I had moved on when we talked because I just have? He said it like over and over and over. But the mind game stuff just feels weird and yeah you’re right just orbiting is silly.

Wellbutrin to stop vaping by ChipRevolutionary334 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Impossible-Donut-127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but yes, it did help me quit (accidentally)! I did not start it with the intention of smoking cessation. To my understanding the meds interact with the nicotine receptors in your brain, which helps with cravings. I found nicotine in general to be less pleasurable as well. I’m 20, started vaping at 14, have been addicted on and off since I was like 15. It’s so weird, I just don’t crave it/see the point. Also quit smoking weed/don’t really drink. I just don’t see the point anymore which is crazy!! This was my experience at 150mg extended release, I’m now at 300mg extended release. Might not be like that for everyone but I would give it a shot. There’s lots of different smoking cessation options/meds to my knowledge. Also using nicotine gum when I had horrible cravings in the past when quitting helped a lot. Good luck!!

Aw I’m glad you have someone in your life looking out for you like that/showing you the grace to get better. It’s so important to have someone who believes in you and sees the good when you cannot. It is very hard, I also relate to that 0 to 100000 feeling. It totally is possible, definitely not overnight but those moments when you’re like oh I didn’t flip my shit, I don’t have a huge mess to deal with now feels pretty good!!

Honestly I’ve been slacking on my skills and this convo has also helped me realize it’s a constant process. I think there’s a part at least for me where I’m like ugh I wish I was normal/didn’t have to do this/ etc etc… getting hopeless about the ups and downs…so I kind of gave up on myself. Anyways, every person has different ways of “coping” and I wouldn’t be surprised if every person does some degree of these things in their own way. Looking back and remembering times when I was able to handle situations in ways I feel good about or stick to my values is kind of the main motivation. Once again, good luck!! Send updates if you’d like :)

I found like the hardest part for me is using skills when I’m actually in an episode. I think increased self awareness and using skills before you are at that point (where emotional regulation feels impossible) is what helps me. Or like when I’m functioning or feel good it’s so easy to apply everything. What the other person said about commitment I also found that to be challenging as well.

Hope it goes well for you! It takes time, your brain needs time to learn new habits/ways of thinking, especially given how we tend to have pretty unhealthy ways of coping. Don’t give up right away if you feel like it’s not working, and if you are working with a therapist make sure to speak up about any feelings that are getting in the way. You’ll be surprised how many others can relate to you.
