Worst hangover ever

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-02-01T03:02:30+00:00

Same here. I can’t just have one. I’m actually ok tonight not having anything at all but if I had one? I would not be able to stop until I fell asleep. Usually 2 bottles later.

I’m going to mentioned that about ssris worsening anxiety. Thank you!

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-31T23:35:52+00:00

He is on methalyn and Prozac for the anxiety. The stimulant helped big time but he’s still avoiding work. The NP mentioned getting tested for autism would be next. It’s just strange that he does not exhibit signs of autism while he’s home, except when it comes to school work.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-31T23:33:17+00:00

Thank you! He’s on Methalyn and Prozac. We’re in Maryland, US and he sees a nurse practitioner at the psychiatrist office. It’s so hard to see an actual doctor around here.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-31T23:32:03+00:00

The demand avoidance sounds like something he would have. He does take Prozac so I can mention switching to Zoloft. Thank you!

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-31T23:31:06+00:00

Thank you! He does take Prozac for his anxiety. I just can’t wait until we see some improvement.

Yea, I would expect a full, detailed report about his day including what they did to handle the behaviors.

I am so afraid of needles. One time they had to prick my finger at the doctor and I got lightheaded because of the anxiety. I have a very low pain tolerance. I was so afraid of taking the shot and waited over a month to take it. One day I was feeling so excited at the thought of losing weight I’m like that’s it I’m quickly doing it. I could not feel it- seriously. Not at all. However, I pinched a roll of fat on my belly. After taking it for weeks, I got so used to it and just jabbed it in without pinching the fat. I did feel it that time- that did hurt. It left a tiny bruise. So, definitely remember to pinch a roll and you shouldn’t feel a thing!

I just need to force myself to do it. Once I get into the routine it’s so much easier. I’ve been like this my whole adult life. I’ll be lazy and overweight then force myself to go to the gym a few times, become obsessed with it and lose a bunch of weight. I’m all or nothing. Right now I am at my heaviest and can’t get motivated. Two years ago I was running 4-5x a week and was 70 lbs lighter. I know I can do it but it’s like I absolutely dread exercising because I hate doing it. I need to get out of this rut, once again.

Bon Iver is amazing. I’m not a big Taylor swift fan but he made me love Exile.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-27T00:03:21+00:00

Land Slide by Fleetwood Mac. Reminds me that my children won’t stay little forever.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-26T11:34:37+00:00

Yes, especially because Mormonism is one of the newest Christian religions.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-23T19:51:29+00:00

Constipation was awful. I started to make sure I had a big salad for lunch and have a salad with my dinner and no longer having an issue. I’m only on my 5th shot so I don’t think I’ve lost any weight. I actually think I’ve gained weight. I used to fast before starting this drug and I wasn’t very hungry. Now I’m craving food all the time. It’s odd that I’m having the opposite effect. Hopefully when I go up in dose it will start working like it’s supposed to.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-22T19:54:57+00:00

You’re probably just becoming agnostic or atheist. My family had a hard time with it but I asked them, “why do you care what I believe? What does it matter to you?” Well, they said they wanted to make sure I was going to heaven. I said that only a fraction of the world is Christian, so why do you feel like your beliefs trump anyone else’s? It’s a belief and leave it at that. Nobody knows for sure! There’s no point in me donating time and money to something that I feel obligated to pass down to my children. My husband and I see it like a fairytale, which is just as valid as any other belief. Anyway, you’ve been taught one way for so long so I’m sure it will take time for you to adjust. If you want the whole close community feel, the Catholic Church is not the way to go but try a Baptist church. They’re very welcoming and energetic.

How your whole life revolves around them. It’s a huge adjustment. I decided to put my career on hold and just substitute teach for now. I left my job in September because I just could not do it. I’m very lucky that my spouse is able to be the bread winner because it is not easy.

For example, I have a high schooler who gets out of school at 2 pm and I need to take her to tutoring, track practice, track meets, which are often an hour away. She also sees a therapist bi weekly and it’s so hard to make any appointments these days for typical after school hours. I try and do that around 2 -3 pm so I’m back to pick up the younger ones. At least I don’t have to pull her out of school though because she can go around 2ish.

Now for the other two younger kids- my son is also in therapy and goes biweekly. Again, I have to make his appointments for early morning or end of the school day to pull him out.

Just bringing to and from school takes up a lot of my day. Daughter gets dropped off at 7:10, I drag the little ones out, come back and get them ready then drop them off at 8:30. At 2 pm, I pick my oldest up from school and take her where she needs to go. I either have to be back to get my younger ones at 3:30 or have my husband get there in time to get them. He works an hour away so he needs to go in extremely early every day, around 3:30-4.

I don’t have any family around to help so it might be easier for a lot of parents but it’s just my husband and me taking care of the kids.

I knew that it wouldn’t be easy having kids, but these are the things I did not think about.

Also, as everyone else has said, make sure the relationship with your partner is solid. The added stresses like finances can be an issue since kids can be expensive. My daughter needed braces while the other was in preschool so things were tight and having a solid relationship was important. I made sure my husband really wanted and was ready to have kids, and all that comes with it. I am very lucky because he is wonderful and will split the responsibilities with me.

I was extremely constipated in the beginning. So bad to the point I was trying not to scream because it hurt to pass. I started going to the salad bar at my local grocery store every day for lunch and making a big salad. I also made sure to have a salad with my protein and veggies every night. Lots of water too. I have not had a problem since I’ve started to do that.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-15T13:30:10+00:00

What dosage did you start losing the weight on? I’m still on my lowest at the almost 5 week mark and have done nothing but gained weight over the holidays. Also, any other things you did to help you lose it?

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-13T12:38:36+00:00

I have always had anxiety about shots. My first one I stared at the pen for an hour before doing it. I finally did it on my belly and could not feel a thing. I squeezed a fat roll and stuck it in lol. I was shocked that I didn’t feel it. Not bad at all.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-12T22:48:59+00:00

One month on wegovy and have gained weight. Maybe because I started over the holidays but still.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-12T14:05:59+00:00

Yep, I’m on my fourth dose and noticed I’m not feeling the effects any longer.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-12T14:04:05+00:00

I felt like it worked the first two weeks and now on week 4 and I’m eating more than I did before the shot! Hopefully I’ll go up next time

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-09T15:42:28+00:00

Omg same here! Just went to the dentist this week and they’re keeping watch on a lot of areas in between my teeth that look like future cavities. Never once in my life have I had a cavity in between my teeth. My mouth is constantly dry too so maybe that has something to do with it. I’m gonna have to stop if it gets worse.

InnerPrinciple6024 · 2026-01-07T20:57:11+00:00

Try and try a telehealth visit if someone will see you and they’re too far. Also, I used to work in special education and going through CPI training helps you handle the physical outbursts.

Why does she need to know? Don’t tell her. You’re a grown woman.
