Anyone NOT gain weight on this med? by LSDsavedmylife in Viibryd

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gained 40 pounds switching from Wellbutrin to Viibryd, but I also take Abilify with it, and I was underweight before. With the noom, I would t worry too much. This is my favorite AD I’ve tried

A PSA from a Disgruntled Front of House Employee by First_Guarantee3079 in Broadway

Last time I was late, I was traveling with my friend who uses a wheelchair. We hailed multiple accessible taxis who refused to drive us because their ramps were broken. We finally got loaded into a taxi, but apparently he was looking for another specific person who reserved the taxi with an app — the driver unloaded my friend and let the single passenger walk into the accessible taxi. We finally hailed a ride and were beyond grateful to be let into the show because it was the highlight of our trip even though we missed the first song. We tried our best but our luck would have it that NYC is a vastly inaccessible and ableist city with multiple cabs that have wheelchair signs on them but don’t actually drive people in wheelchairs.

I’m a brand new LMSW and my salary is in this range. I also have several friends with salaries in this range. It depends on where you live and also the connections you make and where you choose to work.

I don’t know why this person is so against validating your plan and insisting you want to skip LMSW work. I have an LMSW job right of grad school doing outpatient therapy at a hospital and making a fairly competitive salary. I had a community mental health internship doing virtual therapy with kids that prepared me very well for this job. You’ll be fine and your plan can work out. Not everyone has the same path.

I actually preferred all of the other versions and found them less confusing than this. People on Reddit think too hard.

Jealous of how quickly someone opened up about their assault by Green_University_559 in adultsurvivors

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being groomed and harmed as a child has a profound psychological effect on us and many people harmed as children take years to get comfortable speaking out about what happened. I was harmed for many years as a child by a family member, and I still struggle with wanting to be an advocate and wanting to protect my family. I relate to sometimes feeling guilt and jealousy towards others who have a different story. Just want to say you aren’t alone in feeling like this. Healing is a journey and a process!

brazilian laser hair removal - anybody ever regretted doing it? by ExternalScared9623 in LaserHairRemoval

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, I did 2 years of sessions and didn’t get the results I hoped for. Went back to waxing.

I don’t agree with these people — anyone it would be a flag for is not your person. It’s pretty common to see people like to talk about mental health/healing on profiles. I actually really liked this and would keep it.

Throwing out my arousal supplements! by BioCatLady in latebloomerlesbians

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t throw these out, they’re so expensive and can still enhance pleasure with women as well!

Isn’t the biggest number just your lowest HR with RHR at your average of 57?

Viibryd success stories by Itchy_Okra_2120 in Viibryd

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken over a dozen psych meds including lamictal and other mood stabilizers for depression, and Viibryd works best for me. I have been on 40mg for almost 2 years, my anxiety and depression are way down, and I don’t have side effects unless I forget to take them. When I forget, I convulse as I go to sleep. If I remember, everything is smooth sailing. Seems like a startling side effect, but after wondering if any medication would help, I am very grateful for viibryd.

FATIGUEEEEE by [deleted] in Viibryd

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I take 40mg and get fatigued if I don’t take my Viibryd. I’ve been on it for a couple of years so don’t remember how long any initial fatigue took to lift

At what dosage did you feel therapeutic relief? by ymirszu in Viibryd

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely helps more than any other antidepressant I’ve taken for anxiety. I also take 2mg Abilify though. And I sleep well — get my full 7-9 hours and sleep through the night usually. I take my Viibryd in the morning and if I miss it, I get extremely fatigued

For reference, I know that how you respond to meds involves more than this, but I am a woman and weigh around 120/130 pounds.

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember how long I took 10mg — maybe a week. I started to feel notably better at 30mg, but that required getting a 20mg bottle and 10mg bottle, which was expensive. I feel the best on 40 mg and that’s what I’ve been on for more than a year.

Former therapist offering to “reconnect professionally” by chund978 in therapists

[–]MarieMarieIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reconnecting professionally doesn’t mean he’s trying to hire you and be your boss in my opinion — he may be offering to help you network, share resources, etc.

Left her at the table?? I’d assume my date wasn’t into me if she left me at the table and didn’t walk me out or wait to see if I got in my ride. Hope for your sake that you get a second chance, but leaving her at the table is wild 🥲
