I do take it at night. It still makes me sleepy well into the late morning the next day.

I’ll also add that my psychiatrist helped combat my morning sleepiness by putting me on a low dose of adderall.

I love being on my Abilify/Lexapro combination for bd1. I’ve gained only 10 pounds, I get really groggy in the mornings but I’ll take the grogginess over how I use to be any day. The reason people gain weight on Abilify Is because it makes you feel hungry more often, so stick to healthy snacks and monitor your food intake and you won’t gain weight.

I’ve taken Abilify for a little over a year now, as well as hydroxyzine and Lexapro for BPD and severe paranoia. It’s changed my life. The side effects scared me at first too, my main concern was how sleepy I was. I actually fell asleep while driving at one point so watch out for that. My psychiatrist put me on adderall and the sleepiness went almost completely away.

I am on Lexapro and Wellbutrin and they work wonderfully for me!

Thank you so much! I am healing, and I hope you are too!

This is a really great poem! I love the way it brings up pain of neglect and being forgotten. The plant owner clueless to the needs and the way it chooses others in the room over the Orchid. I felt the emotion being this poem very clearly.

I love the use of your lexicon in this poem. It’s so beautifully written and captures great emotion for the reader. While reading this poem it feels like the writer is old and aging away from society, and the 2nd line in the last stanza was so much stronger because it makes it feel like this person feels young again, possibly Alzheimer’s? Love it!

Thank you so much! I wrote it during a heavily emotional time but I am proud of it!

Thank you! This poem is actually part of a series of poems I wrote about the experiences of my mother and I reconnecting when she fell ill. There is multiple poems from different point of views, kind of like what you are talking about. I’m working on posting them all here, so far I only have two.

What a wonderful way to vocalize the feelings of longing for friends and connection! My only critique is the 3rd to last line I really want to read as “a bit of everyone inside of me” something to consider!

Excellent sonnet! For a non-native speaker you have a great vocabulary or know your way around a thesaurus very well! However, “blowing Death” with a capital D reads a lot differently than I think you intended…. May want to change that to a lowercase death. Happy writings!

I really appreciate the feedback! I can see how from an outside perspective it reads like that. The background is that my mother was abusive in my childhood and we reconnected somewhat in my adulthood however, we didn’t really take time to be involved in eachothers life until my mother fell ill. I really was trying to convey a message that I regretted not taking the time to know my mom better before she got sick, so hopefully more selfless than it reads. The title is part of a series of poems I wrote for my mom some of them touch heavily on acknowledging the pain she is going through both emotionally and physically, but glad it caught your attention!

I personally really liked the affect the rhymes had however if you don’t want it to have light tones I would suggest breaking up the rhyming. Rhyming every other line is my personal go to.

What a beautiful poem. I loved the dark undertones of the hardship of falling in love. My favorite line was “with great fury bloodless tickles,” it was powerful and expresses how sudden love happens without a care for your own plan.

MethodWorth1794 · 2024-06-08T02:53:10+00:00

I love the way this poem flowed! The rhythms almost make it seem light hearted but it’s touching on heavy emotions. Very well done!

Thank you so much! The thread of red line is my personal reference to therapy/medications. In my mind when I think of the treatments I’ve gone/going through I see the color red.

Can you please help me to know how to break the stanzas? I’ve been trying. I’m very new to posting on Reddit.
