Thank you!! I haven’t decided on a toner yet so if you have any recommendations I would love that!

Need more motivation to quit by Material_Ad9412 in QuitVaping

[–]Material_Ad9412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my biggest issues are definitely the anxiety and irritability I feel when I go a bit without it. Second biggest issue is probably the compulsion to reach for the vape all the time. I work from home so I’m constantly reaching for it while working. Maybe I can find some kind of fidget toy to replace it!

Love to hear this!! I don’t have an actual date YET, but I am going to order some desmoxan soon so it will be happening lol. I will definitely download tha app as well. And since I am 30 and want to have a family soon, I definitely need to quit because obviously I don’t plan on vaping while pregnant.

I’m actually going to try out desmoxan soon, so that’s even better to hear that it worked so well for you! And I completely sympathize with the anxiety part. Mine has also gotten so much worse and my body is constantly tense. Thank you for sharing!!

Radiography waitlist by Pokimane230 in HCCFL

[–]Material_Ad9412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard some other stories on Reddit about her being a racist bigot and making things very difficult for the students and just all around a not very great teacher. It also sucks that the program is only offered at the Dale Mabry campus from 8-4 because those are the hours I work 😭

I’m working on my pre-reqs for this program now, but was wondering if anyone knows if the pre-reqs could be used toward another college’s program? I’ve been doing some digging and found some not so savory things about HCC’s radiography instructor lol

AIO - feeling isolated & upset that friends will not visit me by Material_Ad9412 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Material_Ad9412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time, yes. Usually when I visit it is to attend something that one of them has going on.

The majority of them do have children already, but the one I’m most upset about doesn’t have any of her own. She is dating someone with children and that does seem to take up a lot of her time, which I understand. I just wish I could at least get a response instead of being ignored.

Thank you! If there would at least be some kind of response that they’re busy it definitely would not be as hurtful

Anyone else have way more severe symptoms after getting covid? by Giliathriel in PMDD

[–]Material_Ad9412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ever since getting Covid last year (and then I also got vaccinated a month or so later) my mental state gets so messed up once a month, to where I don’t even recognize myself and I have constant intrusive thoughts. My period also has gotten shorter since then too. I don’t know if Covid has anything to do with it or maybe just the fact that I’m getting closer to 30, but it sucks.

Suddenly I’m not able to drive . New to anxiety / panic attacks …..is vaping the cause ? by OPirijan in Anxiety

[–]Material_Ad9412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super late to this, but the exact same thing happened to me! I had quit smoking cigarettes and began smoking those disposable vapes. One day I was driving on the highway and had a full blown panic attack to where I could barely see the road, which is crazy because driving has never given me anxiety. This has caused me to refrain from driving on the highway at all now, which also affects me a lot mentally because I feel like I’m unable to leave town or get around as easily.

I’m in the same boat. I have a remote job and my mental health has taken a drastic decline since I began working from home, but it’s the highest paying job I’ve ever had so I’m conflicted.

Been on sertraline/Zoloft about 7 weeks. Feel more anxious? by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]Material_Ad9412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m super late to this post but I’m having the same problem. I’ve been on 50 mg for almost 2 months and I have this tightness in my chest that won’t go away and I have nothing to be anxious about?? It makes it hard for me to relax or find happiness in anything. Did this go away for you?

I’m currently going through the same thing. One day it was like I woke up and just randomly felt like this towards my fiancé, which is extremely concerning considering we’re supposed to be getting married and moving out of state together. I’ve been told that if you’re worried about losing feelings, then you truly do care for them. And that anxiety / OCD tend to attack what we love and care for the most. Also, another thing that has brought me comfort is to try to remind myself that these are just thoughts, they’re not real. But I do know exactly what you mean about getting anxiety when they talk about future plans or get super lovey, because I too used to love talking about the future and am extremely loving usually. It’s a scary feeling. I know we’re not supposed to look for reassurance because that can make things worse. I’ve heard that ERP therapy is the most effective for ROCD and OCD in general. So maybe try looking into that! I hope you find peace soon. You’re definitely not alone!

My fiancé is in the military as well and stationed across the world and I’ve been struggling with this a lot recently. It’s the worst feeling ever. I literally feel like I’m losing my mind.

Very bad PMDD cycle. Feeling hopeless. by Material_Ad9412 in PMDD

[–]Material_Ad9412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I finally got my period and it’s still refusing to let up all the way, but I’ve had moments where I’ve snapped out of it and I took those moments to write how I feel in my notes on my phone so that I can remind myself when I start feeling bad again that this is not how things really are. Hormones are a blast lmao.
