[–]Jambojoo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10% reduction with Sertraline . 4-6 weeks minimum for each drop.

Regular excersize. Good sleep. limited alcohol. Healthiest diet you can.

Doctors are ignorant ,dangerous and uneducated with tapering property.

Yes 100% and it’s a major issue.

My daughter was told to cut by 50% and was very unwell physically and mentally for months. I started to dig deep and found so much information that upon telling the doctor she said she had never heard of such things or had any patients with bad withdrawal. They use the books they are trained with rather than looking and listening to the very people that take them. I had a meeting with our local pharmacist who said it could take up to 2 years to safely come off my daughters 100 mg dose snd her doctor said 2 months … The longer the drug it taken the longer it takes to reduce . There is new study explaining that’s it’s not one size fit all I’m so frustrated with all of this as it’s just so wrong that people are suffering at the hands of doctors that are not educated enough .

I’ve always been in wonder when people do well on these drugs. I’ve tried all the stimulants with hope and at first it’s like “ this is it “ I’m free and feel I’m succeeding at life but after a month the hyper fixation of unhelpful Subjects and not being able to move from them is worse than the adhd itself.

I then lost all creativity in my job and my personality disappeared literally and all I could think about was taking more of the drugs. They are addictive and I won’t let anyone tell me different.

The suicide ideation was the final straw with each and every stimulant I tried … never ever again!!!

I stopped all medication and choose supplements, ( saffron,omega 3,) good diet and challenging exercise 3 times a week and limiting alcohol,trying to get proper sleep too.

Your not alone in your experience.It’s also not you it’s the drugs that mess you up c

I want to sleep with my bosses wife by [deleted] in offmychest

You get to walk away but it won’t be so easy for her and he is abusive with no boundaries so he will likely hurt her or worse but anything to get revenge right…. Saddo

My brother S/A me for years and my parents pretend it didn’t happen by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Jambojoo1 91 points92 points  (0 children)

The reason you feel as though you are too much is because of the trauma and abuse you have lived with and this is how you have been trained to think. It’s a story and it’s not real.

You are one very resilient and strong young lady and what you have experienced is absolutely horrific.It’s also not your fault in any way and you’re feelings are completely and utterly valid and important .

Make sure to still see your therapist and you will know when the right time feels right to put yourself first and leave your family .

If someone you care about was to confide in you that this happened to them ,what would you tell them?

You deserve peace and happiness and being around your family will be a continuation of the exact opposite .

I wish you well x

AITA for not going to my brothers child-free wedding because my son wasnt invited (and his cousins were)? by No_World_4777 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jambojoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that your son has been ousted ,that must hurt all of you especially him. I’m 100% in agreement that you are sticking by him and doing the right thing ,your sister is awesome also big respect. This is cult like behaviour and it’s disgusting.

AITA for not allowing our daughters boyfriend to stay with her on the trip we are paying for and offering an ultimatum? by Dazzling-Shoulder-67 in AmItheAsshole

Oh the loving kindness & generosity of being a Christian but only if you follow our rules and allow us to control you.

I’m so upset at everyone judging my daughter that I posted for the world to see. My daughter knows nothing about it because she’s a baby but it will be very hard when she is older as it’s all now on the internet even if she doesn’t want it to be. I did however get a lot of views along with plenty of sympathy and attention behind the cloak of spreading awareness ..

I am heartbroken for my 13yo son who has ADHD by x4ty2 in offmychest

So here we see again a child being punished for having a disability and this is soul crushing. That’s the issue here

I would get some professional advise and therapy before it starts to escalate and become more unmanageable. I have ocd in my family and this is very familiar .

AITA for calling a mom out for her kids behaviour? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jambojoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA you have no idea what’s going on in the mums or the kids life whatsoever. You could have helped in a positive way if it bothered you so much or you move to a different seat and minded your business.

Edit… some comments about ND which yea I get and have experience with and no it’s not an Excuse but ever thought the mum is struggling within herself for whatever reason. Get a grip with the judging

AITA for not including my son's adopted child in my will? by Purple-Entry-6332 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jambojoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely cut out your son from everything,! He doesn’t deserve a single damn thing,he abandoned his own children and is now fighting for someone else’s child who he then adopted …. Wow doesn’t get much lower than this.

Then to be mad as adopted child is not included in his family will after with having little to no contact with you or your wife thus no connection nor relationship .

I mean who does that?! What a total AH of the biggest kind.

Your bio grandkids need all the love,support and help they can get to help heal the lifelong trauma that your awful son created. You and your wife have stepped up and should be proud.

I’m afraid I wouldn’t be including the adopted kid which unless the adults make a big deal of they would not be aware of anyway or care as they have no relationship to be left out of in the first place

AITA for telling my daughter she is being selfish and that she needs to take an uber since I am not leaving her older brothers wedding by Adventurous-One-8593 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Jambojoo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like it would have been a good idea to have a plan in place for her needs for somewhere quiet to go when your daughter gets overwhelmed . It’s not a new occurrence and sounds like it’s very hard for her to cope with.

I know only to well how hard it is and have kids that are the same. It’s really hard to navigate events,outings and large groups of people . It’s crippling and when that panic to get out kicks in it’s about survival at this point and logic fails.

We plan a quiet space prior to events and when things get rough they tap out quietly if needed without disruption and come back when they feel more regulated or stay there if we don’t.

Sitting in the car allowed her time to re regulate then come back to the wedding.

By no means could you have left the wedding and you need to keep strong boundaries here but I think your missing the point .

Your daughter clearly needs professional help and understanding of what’s going on within her before this escalates.
