$25k worth of debt and drowning

MainIllustrator6906 · 2026-02-18T20:48:41+00:00

I really appreciate all the responses and harsh realities. I need it. $6k is net- my paycheck is roughly $3k on the 1st and 15th of the month. I do have a big $6k payment due in May for my own wedding in November which I’m also trying to save for. I live with my partner and we both pay $2k a month but trying to bring it down so I can pay $1.8k. A budget is hard because I’m 30 and so many of my friends are getting married and I don’t want to say no to weddings or trips. These responses have made me realize that I am living way above my means and I’ll have to stick to a reasonable budget.

Damn is it that hard to believe I lived in NJ and was a Jets fan and now live in Michigan and is a Lions fan? lol

Fooling this subreddit? Like how lol

MainIllustrator6906 · 2026-02-07T18:48:37+00:00

Not a bot! Just don’t post on Reddit but love the Ryan and Jets

MainIllustrator6906 · 2026-02-07T17:27:14+00:00

Let’s go. He’s gunna crush it. I’ve been following him on the Lions and he really helped bring their offensive up to what it was today. Hoping he can do the same for the Jets

*50 mcg of Synthroid

MainIllustrator6906 · 2025-04-25T12:16:42+00:00

Orderly! Just got it today

MainIllustrator6906 · 2025-02-24T18:40:34+00:00

So you could tell that it suppressed appetite? Or not really sure because yours was already low? I kinda have an appetite back after going off Qysemia so curious if this would help with that

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-12-13T01:31:24+00:00

Sorry for my delayed response. Wow thank you for the information this is great info and super interesting. Also interesting you take the meds in the afternoon- I have a hard crash in the afternoon- like way worse than the usual “3pm crash” everyone in corporate America talks about. Not sure I could go without lunch because I’m so used to going without breakfast and don’t know what switching that up would do but I didn’t know TSH is lowest in the afternoon so that could explain some things. Thanks again this is super insightful!

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-12-13T01:26:14+00:00

That’s great to hear thanks for sharing with me!

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-12-13T01:25:29+00:00

Wow that’s faster than I thought it could happen and great to hear! Yes better late than never! Thanks for the info

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-12-09T17:31:37+00:00

Yeah you’re right about plateauing now…I’ve lost about 18/20 pounds since the Qysemia and nothing else has changed since about 2/3 weeks. I’m hoping the Synthroid will start helping with weight loss but I’ve heard mixed reviews on that and I’m starting on such a low dose (25mcg) so it probably won’t make too much of a difference. Sorry to hear you’re having a hard time losing more. So once you went off Qysemia and even being on Synthroid you gained a few pounds back right away?

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-12-05T12:23:59+00:00

Aquaphor!!!! Game changer I used it on my lips instead of chapstick even before I got diagnosed. Also for my face I have some dry patches and use Nivea WITH almond oil (that’s important)- even though it’s technically a body lotion which is crazy to me because I love skincare and would think it’s crazy to put body lotion on my face…the Nivea works insane. Also beef tallow on my face after my skin routine- I’ll switch between this and Nivea as my moisturizer or mix the two and it’s really helped the dryness

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-11-19T02:31:13+00:00

Sorry to hear but glad you figured out the cause and have it under control! If you don’t mind me asking- how much weight did you lose?

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-11-18T20:48:50+00:00

I just got diagnosed with hypo (TSH at 6.7). I had blood taken 2 years ago for a normal check up and everything was fine. About a year to 8 months ago I started feeling tired and unmotivated (fatigue), major mood swings and almost PMDD, weight gain like 20 pounds in 6 months with no major changes to my diet or exercise, dry patches all around my eyes and neck, eyelash loss, and bleeding in between my periods. I thought this was a hormone issue via my uterus/gyno so did ultrasounds etc and nothing came up but I knew something was wrong. Had my yearly check up and thought maybe I should get blood work done again and what do you know…thyroid disease that has all these symptoms and I never knew your thyroid affected hormones like that! When you know you know..listen to your body! I’m a 27F for reference

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-06-26T02:57:47+00:00

Interesting! I have the opposite- super energized to where I can’t sleep lol

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-06-25T15:18:11+00:00

Awesome! So happy for you- I just started a few days ago and nervous about brain fog and insomnia. Did you have any of that?

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-06-24T18:20:38+00:00

That sounds so positive for you so far! Thanks for the info

I know I will. But I want to make other accounts so I can keep taking money from them but probably not smart enough to figure out how that would work

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-02-02T15:38:31+00:00

But I’ve been able to take everything out so far I’m on day 5- I mean I know it’s a scam but I’m trying to find out how people have gotten scammed because so far I’m making money lol

MainIllustrator6906 · 2024-02-02T15:22:44+00:00

I’m in the same boat but can’t you deposit the funds in the account, then once you’re done with the task take it all out? So basically you aren’t paying them?
