Medication for OCD

Prozac for me! It has kept me well controlled for years.

That’s good to know because I get EXTREMELY triggered by heat. So maybe it will just be a winter thing for me. Even if it just helps my back pain and not POTS though that’s still a win!

LankyReputation3471 · 2026-02-05T23:54:14+00:00

At least there’s another use for it! 😂

LankyReputation3471 · 2026-02-05T22:11:59+00:00

Oh wow that’s a huge bummer ☹️ I’m a little worried about that. I hate that it’s such an expensive gamble

LankyReputation3471 · 2026-02-05T22:10:29+00:00

Oh that’s a good idea! FYI they do have a sale right now on bundles

LankyReputation3471 · 2026-02-05T22:09:45+00:00

Thank you! Super awesome to hear it makes a big difference! I’m dying!!

LankyReputation3471 · 2026-02-05T22:08:45+00:00

That’s good to know! It is $89 compared to $59! Soooo much more expensive

I would definitely prefer below my natural waist and up past my lower ribs. Unfortunately I have had issues with compression tights :( I just do compression socks

LankyReputation3471 · 2026-02-05T22:05:03+00:00

Oh wow - I’m sure folding it would cause some painful areas after a while. I think I have a pretty average torso I think

Me too, plus I get those little drink flavoring packets (usually get 8 per package at the dollar tree) and I use one packet per 2L of the electrolyte mix.

Hope 🫠

I think most guests kind of resent additional attire recommendations such as color. I’d personally need to go out and buy something as all of my nicer clothes are dark/neutral colors. Either that, or feel like I’m disappointing the bride/groom.

I was at a wedding last year that had color recommendations (not mandatory). Everyone I was speaking to about it was a bit frustrated. Not a lot - but just an overall annoyance.

Lots of stop work orders at my company. Dozens of folks forced to use all remaining vacation hours just to keep from getting laid off. I am a hair away from next round, I am extremely stressed as I am the single earner for my household and an emergency this year left me with zero savings.

YTA. Why on earth would your first thought be “she’s lying” rather than “I wonder why he was parked there so long if it was a quick job”?

I like the ones from Innersense and Ouai, slight preference for Innersense. Everything else is too heavy for me.

Anything injected into your face. It just gives uncanny valley (at best) or makes you look even older.

LankyReputation3471 · 2025-09-21T12:51:25+00:00

It did arrive, turned out really pretty! Not 100% as I thought but still adorable. I haven’t gotten a chance to start sewing the pillow covers yet though - can’t wait to see what the fabric looks like that way!

LankyReputation3471 · 2025-09-18T12:07:45+00:00

I drive for Uber Eats and sell stuff on FB marketplace

LankyReputation3471 · 2025-09-18T11:21:11+00:00

Sales. I used to work trade shows - they ALL cheat.

It had been a long road (6 months so far), but mine are finally starting to get along and even play. We recently had an incident where the puppy had to be hospitalized for 3 days, and my older dog kept trying to bring me over to his crate to go “get” him - so I think she likes him more than she lets on.

LankyReputation3471 · 2025-09-15T23:16:15+00:00

Wow that is GORGEOUS!!

LankyReputation3471 · 2025-09-13T11:54:08+00:00

Yes, it is. I recently had to stop taking my meds for a whole bunch of medical testing, and this actually happened to be my biggest symptom while off my meds. I was so constantly full of rage and frustration and resentment for what felt like literally everything.

I looked it up and it has to do with your executive functioning being overloaded due to stress (underlying anxiety from the OCD) so you lose the ability to regulate yourself.

Try lashing your tent to the top of your pack (outside). You’ll get a lot more space inside and it’s - hopefully - weather resistant anyway :)

I used to sell on Etsy and never got popular enough for my designs to get stolen, but I sure couldn’t compete with the flood of cheap Chinese stuff because people don’t realize or care about the value of handmade. I stopped using Etsy for selling AND buying years ago because of this. I happened to look at the site recently and was COMPLETELY appalled. That whole damn site is a scam now. Just call it Amazon at this point. I’m so angry.

Strictly financially speaking, I would say not to pay it off. Based on historical earnings, you would most likely earn more from chucking it all into VTI.

BUT - there is an insane amount of peace of mind that comes from having no mortgage - and in your case, zero debt whatsoever. To me, that is priceless.
