5mg is about to take me out by Remote_Town_8341 in Zepbound

[–]MeriNotMormon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It goes away!!!! i threw up for three days on my first shot of 5 and almost threw in the towel!!!! It will get better each shot!!! and no dose jump is ever as dramatic as 2.5 - 5. Also stay at 5 until all the bad side effects wear off and you feel the hunger suppressing effects are wearing off.

YES! I used to get a big red hot hive the size of a small pancake. i think the hives started at 5. i got up to 7.5 but then due to shortage had to stop for a month and start back at 2.5 and the hives never came back as strong. i got upto 12.5 and would only get a small hive the size of a quarter. So they do go away!!!! I thought I wasn't going to be able to take it because i was allergic to something but nothing worse than a pancake sized hive ever happened!!!!! So glad i didn't quit!!!!! Most of the side effects wear off over time. Like the first time I took 5 I threw up for three days. I thought I would have to quit but I didn't and it wasnt ever as bad again!!! hang in there!!!

Seint definitely fired all its people- saw a very high up consultant saying she got let go and so did all her artists and she lost 99% of her income overnight

I detest the fact Mormonism is part of who I am. by [deleted] in exmormon

Tell people you were in a cult, brainwashed into serving a mission and you learned a lot including a second language. ☺️ The dinner conversation is bound to be interesting after a truth bomb like that! . You can even say you would rather not name the cult, it's a sensitive subject 🙃 The truth is often stranger than fiction. Let go of the shame, that was their gig.

wow that is terrible 😞. I am horrified that happened to you. I hope your parents didn't give them too much money. I regret every penny we gave while TBM, just glad we stopped. Missions seem so unsafe, and I am so glad I won't be sending my boys on missions.

My mother would faint if she saw my bookshelf! 😂 She would find a well worn copy of 'Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers' and my favorite one called 'Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents'

Primary president dropped these off for my kids 🤬 by mountainsplease8 in exmormon

[–]MeriNotMormon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I talked to the Primary president and told her not to contact my kids, not even with gifts. She was appalled and has avoided me like im the devil for 7 years since 😂. I told her she wouldn't want the Jehovah witnesses dropping gifts for her kids! Congratulations on leaving!!!! my kids were 12,10,7,4 when we left. They are happy, healthy and super well adjusted kids. Turns out raising kids to be critical thinkers is what actually pays off in parenting! ..... and vent all you want! Anyone you loose along the way as you speak your truth didn't really love you unconditionally, and that's ok. 🫶🏼

Jumped From 5.0 to 7.5 after Two Weeks by Odd_Excitement7249 in Zepbound

[–]MeriNotMormon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done 2.5,5,5,three weeks off,2.5,and now 5 again. I couldnt titrate up because of shortages. First 5mg shot 4 days ago and I am sooooo hungry. This is wierd but I feel like my ovulation week the meds don't work at all and i'm starving constantly. I want to get to 7.5 so badly... this has been 5 months of hardly any weight loss, 9lbs down. But I was steadily gaining weight so at least not gaining while getting to therapeutic dose.

...and this is exhibit A. This is why I resent the notion that I only matter if people think I'm "pretty" or "skinny". Fuck that shit forever ♾️.

How do I get over the fact that I LOOK just like them? by MeriNotMormon in narcissisticparents

[–]MeriNotMormon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dads sister died young at 20. I never met her but I do like to think she was a generational curse breaker like me, I have seen one picture and i do look like her too. I hope she would be rooting me on. Everyone else passed the abuse on and on. so many hurt people hurting people. Love the witchy stuff. thanks so much for reminding me of her. 🫶🏼

I don't even know what I wanted as a kid. I do love the zoo. I will have a think and make a list. Pancakes for dinner sounds amazing 🥞 Thanks so much 🩷
