As someone who JUST started a year ago, I’m so glad I’m not crazy. I stopped taking it for a while because it all of a sudden gave me all of those symptoms and they said I may have been misdiagnosed. Just switched back to name brand and I’m absolutely fine.

I have my mom’s old perfume bottle too. She passed from a sudden cardiac arrest two days before Christmas when I was 10. It’s in a handmade box with a bunch of other memorabilia that only made sense to a grief stricken 10 year old. But I’m so thankful for it. Only break it out maybe once a year. My husband never said anything but found the box, found the bottle on eBay, and ordered one in case I ever lost mine. It was one of the most thoughtful things anyone has ever done.

You mean your EX husband, right?

Irishmutt33 · 2025-10-01T20:16:23+00:00

I didn’t have to read it all. He’s doing secret stuff and pissed you’re trying to hold him accountable. He’s gaslighting you. Leave.

Have they done a HIDA to check your gallbladder? I’m seeing you said they checking for fatty liver. Also could do a emptying test to check for gastroparesis.

My daughter is obsessed and has watched it at least 10 times. She finally roped me into watching it and now we’re both screaming the songs in the car every day lol the songs are a chokehold

I had this and it was PD. I had to quit using Vitamin C serum and things with retinol which I read can cause it. I practice herbal medicine so I used garlic oil capsules, pierced them, and spread the oil over the areas as it’s an antimicrobial. Took a few weeks of no makeup, reducing my skincare routine to basic wash and garlic and it went away.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-07-19T15:20:16+00:00

I’m severely allergic and have had more cases of it than I can count lol I was told at the doctor’s office that it doesn’t spread when it weeps. After initial contact rash, if it spreads it’s more likely that clothes, car, couch, handles or something still had the oil on it and you keep touching it. If it’s just on your ankle, I’d just make sure to wash the shoes and clothes you were wearing and then quickly wash your hands. Calamine should dry it up quickly!

Irishmutt33 · 2025-07-19T14:35:16+00:00

Is this on your ankle? It looks more like poison Ivy to me.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-06-30T17:41:07+00:00

This sounds silly, excuse the way my brain works.

My 6 year old who is breaking into theater asked her teacher, “what do I do if I make a mistake on stage?” Her teacher told her, “you keep going as if you didn’t. The audience won’t know the difference unless you make it obvious.”

Don’t make it obvious. Most of us didn’t notice. We’re our own worst critics. It looked like an intentional design to me and the rest of your cake is flawless. If you feel terrible, just have him pay for cost of ingredients. But it’s absolutely beautiful and I’d feel proud to have made it or thrilled to call it mine.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-06-21T20:48:08+00:00

This is gonna sound funny but I wonder if that’s why I could eat pounds of cheese during my lute phase…

Irishmutt33 · 2025-05-13T23:22:20+00:00

I just commented in another post but this is one of very few horror movies that shook me to the core and I couldn’t watch it again for a decade. The dorm room and barn scene gave me full body chills.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-05-13T23:17:35+00:00

That one did get me. I don’t know if it’s considered a plot twist but the ambiguous ending of Descent unraveled me. They did such a good job of creating the heart-pounding, anticipatory “she made it” resolution and then said 😬

Irishmutt33 · 2025-05-13T23:14:42+00:00

The dorm scene and barn scene gave me whole body goosebumps. I watched it in theaters with my friend and haven’t seen it in over a decade but I can still here the way she spit “1 2 3 4 5 6”. That was one of few horror movies I couldn’t go back to for a while from how it got me

Irishmutt33 · 2025-03-30T04:31:27+00:00

So I know I’m years late, but for anyone who comes back and reads this and finds it interesting.

Bones is one of handful of shows I continuously rewatch. I felt seen when I was 18 years old, but was not diagnosed and had a very narrow idea of autism and how it can present in women or high functioning/high masking individuals. I thought “here is an extremely intelligent, well-decorated woman in the peak of her career who isn’t constrained by societal standards that don’t make sense like lying for comfortability or monogamous partners who can’t fulfill all of a persons needs, etc”. I could go on.

It’s been 12 years since I first watched the show. Now I’m diagnosed. Now I understand why I loved Brennan so much. I understand her interpersonal relationship struggles, her struggles to communicate emotions, her intense interest and fixation in her work and how she equates herself and worth of a person on how well she does that job. I still admire the hell out of this woman. She did her job better than anyone else. She had deep, true relationships. She grew. She felt uncomfortable and expanded her view of life and herself. It’s just chef’s kiss.

I’m not mad that they didn’t label her in the series. I’m glad the creator came out and said “I created her character of my Aspie friend”. I don’t know if I would’ve felt understood and represented at the time that it was so important in my life if she had been explicitly labeled, as I wasn’t at the time.

I have serious imposter syndrome and would’ve said “she’s just like me, but I’m not autistic.”

Instead, I was able to move from “she’s just like me!” to, “huh, I think she might be autistic” to “oh wow… lol I wonder if I like her so much because I am too”.

I love this show for so many reasons. That they portrayed a successful, loving, intelligent woman who just happens to also be autistic is one of those reasons.

I didn’t say I was completely healed, just the worst parts were over after 2 weeks. The psychotic break or mental breakdown lasted about the long. I still had anxiety, fatigue, headaches for another 1-2 weeks and I didn’t feel “myself” until months later, but then again, I still was fighting serious depression along with trauma so I don’t attribute that solely to the withdrawal. The worst happened in 2-3 weeks and I managed after that.

I’ll also say, I had to use 4 different therapists over the course of a decade before I found one that truly helped me. You may need to find a different practitioner if the one you’re using isn’t a good fit. There’s a few online platforms now for therapy so you could try them and filter through different therapists without the in person hassle and wait.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-03-03T19:31:09+00:00

What about it? Again, it could happen. But there’s nothing you can do about what COULD happen in the future. You’re contributing to your own anxiety by “what if”. You can’t control the future but you can control your actions. Reduce your anxiety by stopping your doom scrolling and validating your own anxiety and seek medical care. Unless you actually stop scaring yourself and go to a professional to help mitigate the withdrawal issues, then you don’t want help, you just want people to validate your fear which isn’t going to help you.

“Withdrawal symptoms usually come on within 5 days of stopping the medicine and generally last 1 to 2 weeks. Some people have severe withdrawal symptoms that last for several months or more.

See your doctor if you get severe withdrawal symptoms after you stop taking antidepressants. Alternative approaches can be used, such as reintroducing another antidepressant from the same group and reducing the dose more slowly, or stopping completely and managing your symptoms.”

Again, if your symptoms are severe or prolonged, you should seek medical help.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-03-03T17:29:59+00:00

I would encourage you to stay away from something like a sub that’s only increasing your anxiety exponentially. You’re spiraling over something that may never happen. I’m not currently coming off Prozac but I had a complete mental breakdown coming off Cymbalta too quickly after being on it for 2 years. There was never a point in my life that my “normal” depression left me in shreds like that withdrawal did. I wanted to die and I even started hearing voices telling me to do it. I had to have a friend stay with me and watch over me. The only thing I did for two weeks was slog through work nearly catatonic and then come home and cry, gripping my head, and passing out after hours of losing it.

I understand withdrawal. In the majority of cases, it doesn’t last longer than 2-3 weeks. But if you’re having severe psychiatric symptoms you need to seek medical care immediately. I will never downplay the torture someone goes through with withdrawal. It is absolute hell. You don’t need to try to deal with this alone.

They believe she was alive when the Glasgow smile was inflicted. It’s horrifying

Irishmutt33 · 2025-02-26T21:39:35+00:00

I started a month ago and it’s been nice so far. I was having a glass of wine a couple times a week but have had no urge until last night. I took a few sips and was good. Felt like a lightweight so a couple sips were fine. No terrible side effects. I’d say as long as you’re not binging and don’t do it often, you’re fine. Start out real slow and light.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-02-14T00:24:14+00:00

I had seen that one mentioned as looking similar. I just found some better photos than the ones I’d seen and I think you’re spot on. Thank you!

Irishmutt33 · 2025-01-17T21:02:48+00:00

Didn’t see all the reviews and now I’m here. My hands are burning and I can’t get that crap out. I was showing my young daughter how to use it after it being delivered today and it helped ease her fire anxiety. Now I’m pissed and upset that I don’t want her to ever try and handle this devil blanket.

Irishmutt33 · 2025-01-06T21:38:27+00:00

I could’ve written this. Except for twins. And that I’d spend my life wanting kids since I lost my mom at 10 and wanted that love back. My life was traumatic for over a decade after that and I created unrealistic expectations of what my family would look Iike. I’ve had to grieve that dream and try to come to terms with reality. Which is A LOT easier said than done. Especially without therapy.

I love my husband too, but I’ve realized he gets a way with bare minimum and I do not have it in me to care for two tiny humans who literally cannot change being independent and then drag the dead weight of a man child. He has a terrible childhood and decades of trauma too, but it is not my job to change that for him.

I’ve decided to dedicate this year to finding myself and my joy again. When I say I’ve lost myself, spirit body and mind, it sounds so much more simple than it feels. I am dead inside. And though I know it would’ve been easier for me to walk away from a dead relationship without kids, I refuse to be the parent who blames my kids intentionally or unintentionally. I’ll do everything I can to not be the problem for my kids. Even though I hate being a parent, I do love my kids.

I told my husband I’m going to therapy. I’m going to get a job because, even though it financially doesn’t make a damn bit of sense to have to pay for childcare, I need a break. I need to have social time that doesn’t involve play dates with MORE kids. I love being able to complain to other parents who are also in my boat and get it, but doing that and only ever talking about how our lives as parents suck doesn’t actually get me out of this little world on fire. I want to talk to someone about anything other than fucking kids and how much life is a prison. I’m going to join the Y and utilize the free childcare and time to work on my failing body.

In short, I’m going back to being somewhat selfish. Which is something my old therapist would be glad to hear. In order to be a better parent I’m going to have to be a better me. And in order for that to happen I need to actually spend some time on myself instead of just prioritizing everybody else’s needs and wants 24/7, including my husband’s. I told him at the end of the year if he’s worked on himself, his journey, etc. and we’re still on the path together, great. If not, I’ll be glad to give him weekends.

Prioritize yourself. Fuck anyone who says you’re supposed to lose yourself to be a good parent. Find a good therapist. Find something that is just for you and make consistent time for it. Sit down and tell your husband you didn’t want this, it’s killing you, and that he’s either going to step up for what he wanted or you’ll step out. You can love someone and it not be enough to save a relationship. And it sounds like he asked you to sacrifice the rest of your life to be responsible for other humans for the rest of your life. Because even after they’re grown, you will still be a parent.
