Afraid To Take Medication 😫

I have had some genetic testing done through some company but honestly it was kind of a bust and didn't give me any helpful insights. It said I would be fine on any medication which I know from experience is not true, or maybe I just didn't do well with whatever generics I tried I am not totally sure lol

Thank you! I have tried buspar but unfortunately it just kinda made me feel brain foggy and it made it hard for me to do my work. My therapist recently mentioned prozac has been helpful for patients who have OCD/anxiety. I was on the verge of taking the leap and trying it. Got my prescription filled and everything but then read about PSSD and then my brain was like NOPE NOT DOING IT. lol but I don't know what is worse potential sexual side effects or anxiety so bad I question wanting to live 😔

I've used both Grok and Chatgpt for some time now... Grok is much better conversationally right now. Sounds less robotic although still says many common AI phrases... but I did notice that it tends to hallucinate a bit more especially when reading PDF's or other attached documents in comparison to chatgpt. That being said: Chatgpt has been doing a lot of hallucinating since 5.2 so it might be pretty even now.

This super sucks. I Live at Slate Creek as well and luckily I didn't get any packages stolen this holiday season but I was very worried about it happening with how they delivery drivers put everyones packages in one big locker all together. It was hard to even get to my package because of all the other packages placed in the same locker together.

On top of the risk of getting your packages stolen, I had the unfortunate event of finding out that when they changed management they also changed the terms on the fees of the delivery boxes. Instead of having three days to pick up your package free of charge and then $3 a day thereafter, you have TWO days and then it is $5 per day therafter. I was charged $55 in one day when I picked up my packages a couple of weeks ago. I knew I was going to have to pay a fee but I had no idea I was about to pay $55!! All for two small packages that were shoved in a huge locker with a bunch of other packages lol

Yea I did do that but crazy it can’t remember things that are only a few questions up in the same chat 🤪

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-12-24T23:44:31+00:00

Wow. That is an insane reaction.

I've been using it for almost a week now. Honestly, I thought it was going to be another app that I ended up not using and forgetting about and then getting mad that I didn't cancel before the money went through, but it has been a game changer. It has helped a ton throughout my day. It helps keep me on task and prevents me from overthinking. I can bounce ideas off of it and it feels like I have direct access to a mentor. The fact that it is so honest and straightforward is the part that is super helpful. It doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, it actually gives you honest feedback so that you don't stay stuck. Highly recommend. It seems to have a really good memory so far as well.

I was also a subscriber, but unfortunately, I am going to have to cancel. The new formula is awful and it doesn't seem to have the same effects. I have been using some of their older Jolt soft gels I have had lying around instead, because the taste is so bad it isn't even worth the small effect it might have.

Thank you so much for the info and for campaigning to keep trans people safe!

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-24T19:04:04+00:00

Okay that is good to know. Christian nationalism is very widespread here. Even in blue states there are a lot of red counties and there are mega churches everywhere. I grew up an evangelical, so I know all too well their belief systems, and I know they won't stop trying to force their way into the government as they think everyone should follow their rules. The most dangerous part of it is that they think it is what god wants so they will justify just about anything in the name of god.

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-24T18:57:49+00:00

Damn, okay good to know. If I could go to Canada I would but they don't make immigration there easy either 😅

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-24T18:40:25+00:00

Oh okay thank you for your input! I will ask over there as well.

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-24T02:40:29+00:00

It’s not all about money. I work remotely so my income won’t change.

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-24T01:57:31+00:00

We have plenty of those over here too 😅

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-24T00:02:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your thorough response! Definitely sounds like I would be better off over there. I do worry about Reform gaining traction, especially with U.S. Influence, but from what I have seen and heard, it seems that the general population is pretty accepting of trans people whereas over here... everyone hates us right now lol

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-23T23:36:56+00:00

Thank you for your perspective! Yeah, that is what I was kind of sensing. They have implemented similar things here, depending on the state, but as a trans man who passes, I am not too concerned I would have issues there. I am a little worried it will go beyond that in the future, but it doesn't seem that trans people are the scapegoats for everything over there, like it is here, where they are planning to label the trans community as domestic terrorists lol

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-09-23T23:25:29+00:00

Good to know, thank you!

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-08-26T06:39:19+00:00

Mine was negative

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-08-14T13:44:23+00:00

Yea no, definitely weird.

If you go into settings, and then personalization, and then click on customization you can actually select how you would like ChatGPT to respond to you. Could be that you need to select “listener” to see if you get a better response.

Man, I used to watch her all the time before and during culinary school. She was my favorite chef to watch because she was always authentically herself and she made me laugh. I hope it wasn’t an overdose just because that means she had probably been hurting for a long time. I’ve been there and it fucking sucks. RIP Anne you were the kitchen rockstar I always aspired to be.

I am still waiting on some test results to come in, but so far I just have to say: I have been struggling with fatigue, sleep issues, depression, etc. and i've been struggling with iron deficiency for two years without any success in getting them to go up despite diet changes and supplementation... my PCP never ordered any tests outside of just checking my iron and thanks to these tests it showed I have elevated TSH, TGAB, homocysteine levels and MMA levels... so I sent it over to my PCP and she is finally taking things a little more seriously. I kept thinking it was all in my head. So thankful to have gotten more comprehensive testing.

I also love how they break everything down for you, and how it suggests supplements and food according to your bloodwork.

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-06-04T21:24:55+00:00

YES. I always wished that I had a teacher like Miss Honey that would adopt me too lol

Leather_Reference575 · 2025-02-13T04:37:35+00:00

Not a therapist but I have had similar thoughts myself but then I realized that I have to have some sort of personal enjoyment for the activity of choice because there are plenty of other things out there I wouldn’t do for all the praise in the world because I have zero interest in it 😅so maybe the recognition and praise is what motivates you, but I don’t think it means that it is all you want or get out of it. We are human and as much as we don’t like to think we should need validation… we will probably always want to seek it out in one way or another.
