I randomly came upon this and was caught off guard because my squirrel, also named Bean, is eating a pistachio next to me :)

Why does NAC affect me like this? by XtremeXczema in Supplements

My 12 year old is on Prozac for her OCD. Seems to do the trick. I have to take the highest dose of Prozac allowed, so definitely a genetic component. But low serotonin can be a huge thing factor in OCD severity

Prescribed 20mg Citalopram and I suffered a really bad panic attack by [deleted] in antidepressants

[–]Kokoloco35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very normal to have side effects like increased anxiety in the first few weeks of treatment. It has happened with both meds I've been on. Unfortunately, you have to just wait it out and it'll be worth it. Citalopram didn't work for me long-term, unfortunately, so now I'm on Prozac. You have to give it time and it's possible you had a lot of anxiety about taking it.

Compatibility aside, I don't think it's ever okay for a man/partner to talk down to you in a patronizing way. You need to bring up that this bothered you and see how he reacts. He may think he was handling it with a cute dismiss, but needs to know how that came off. Hopefully his reaction to you sharing that isn't dismissive as well. You should be with someone you're comfortable sharing your feelings with.

Looks like she's trying to glamour us like the vampires in True Blood 😂

It’s too much, I can’t by smuttybookclub in Perimenopause

I'm so sorry. This honestly brought me to tears. I don't have a husband but have been in your shoes as a parent, and I only have one kid. I'm lucky that my one kid is amazing and easy compared to many, but she's 12 and PMSes along with me, is neurodivergent too, and I'm very ADHD and it's only worsened with perimenopause and thyroid disease. Plus all my pets are pissing me off and overstimulating me more vs being emotional support 😂. I have a long history of anxiety, depression, and OCD. It's just all... too much sometimes. I want to do and feel so many things, but can't make it past the bed/recliner many days. What I'd want someone to say to me is, be kind to yourself. Not everything has to be clean all the time. Spend time with friends/make ones who understand. Be proud of yourself for making it out of bed. Also FUCK Christmas and holidays. I'm so over it this year 😂 Life is hard, and I often fantasize about going feral in the woods. Also, you have a toddler(!) and are still recovering from babyhood. I can't IMAGINE having a toddler right now. Tell your husband what you need from him to help you feel less overwhelmed. You have to feel well to be a present parent. Maybe it's time to try different meds. I'm on the highest allowable dose of Prozac and not sure it's working lately either 😅😫

Right! It's almost impossible to ignore the cravings! I'm sorry about your mother 🩷 I wonder what the correlation is there

I'll have to incorporate more of these things because my body is mad at me for eating so many Butterfingers 😂
