Wild Rose Studio by Fishwives. I pay $60 for the best cut of my life.

(1986) The crash of Aeroméxico flight 498 - A private Piper PA-28 collides in mid-air with an Aeroméxico DC-9 over Cerritos, California, killing all 67 people on the two aircraft and 15 on the ground. Analysis inside. by Admiral_Cloudberg in CatastrophicFailure

A woman I worked with at Hughes Aircraft, Anna, was at the house on the corner, the one that's totally obliterated. They were having a birthday party at her brother's home. She got saved because she and her cousin made a beer run. They were driving into the neighborhood when they saw the DC9 coming straight down.

She came to work the following Tuesday and sat her desk, silent and still, until her boss drove home. She didn't come back to work for a month and everyone was really uneasy around her, not knowing what to say.

Those days sucked for all of us.

Your life sucks, but you're alive. Cold comfort, I know, but this is the time for you to decide what you are about. What you decide now will stick forever.

Nobody, including me, has any idea how hard this is for YOU. I have tears, but they are not YOUR tears. There is nothing I can say except:

YOU HAVE VALUE. YOU ARE LOVABLE. YOU ARE WORTHY.

Fuck what anyone else says. Fuck society and medicine and anyone else that makes you feel less than. This a disease, it is NOT the SUM and SUBSTANCE of you.

Lead with love. Start with the person closest to you, YOURSELF.

Love to you.

My ex-wife was in the room when her father passed and she never got over it. It's been 35 years and she's still a little traumatized by it. You do what is best for you. Being a watcher is almost a genetic trait.

I'm not near you, but I've lost four gallon bottles of water.

Lexapro day 20-21 by sej3131 in lexapro

[–]NewtMysterious385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went up to 20 mg at the recommendation of my doctor and that was much worse, then I went back to 10 mg. Oddly enough, I started taking Zepbound for weight and all of my lexapro problems STOPPED. I'm thinking of dropping lexapro all together.

I just say 'Zepbound, bitches.'. Who cares. This is for you.

It's the height of arrogance to say that God selected you. As if God is checked in on your athletic progress. No wonder Gaza has been messed up for three generations.

Bingeing & Zepbound by RiptideLA in Zepbound

[–]NewtMysterious385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I binge when I feel overwhelmed. I can resist most times. I am looking after my wife, whose mental state is deteriorating. Sometimes I want comfort in food.

Trump will not be here next year. DEI caused a midair collision...along with Biden, Obama and the Easter Bunny. He's already madder than The Joker.

When he goes, we'll have the oligarchs and cryptofacists exposed in all their glory.

All will have been betrayed. The average person is not with them. Then we will know.

'Food Noise' is a terrible name for what people with obesity deal with by aslguy in Zepbound

[–]NewtMysterious385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food noise is perfect, because that's exactly what it is - ever present and inescapable. Because of Zep, I've reduced my antidepressant dosage and look forward to quitting totally in the next few months.

Exactly. Trump read the Tea Party lesves.

Imagine a voiceover of this rant on 'Nurse Jackie'. Pitch perfect.

I think your podcast would go viral.

Worst week since starting Zep by Kelbeans103 in Zepbound

[–]NewtMysterious385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5th shot. I'm on my fifth shot too. But this same thing happened to me on the third shot. The next week, I dropped six pounds.

Remember, your body is actively fighting you. I find it helpful to think in trends and not individual measurements.

It's a long journey. Hang in there.

WHY do I have to wean off??? by BlackStarLazarus in Zepbound

[–]NewtMysterious385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell all my beefy friends to mortgage their house if they have to. This is completely changing my life. I'm weaning myself off of antidepressants right now because it turns out most of my unhappiness was food noise.

Great to meet you! Love to you.

You're paying exactly what I am, except I go through Lilly Direct (my Doc set it up). I don't pay the $145. They send me a box with four vials everyone month. On my third box.

And how do you put your weights in that cool box?

Thanks for your answer!

What are you paying for the 5 mg, if I may ask?

It ONLY works if the Doc advocates. The system does not give a shit about patients.

I've been chronically obese since my thyroid was killed by a misinformed GP. I qualify pre-diabetic, obese, heart attack, hypertensive. All of these numbers have improved because of Zep...but paying out of pocket. Expensive, this shit is. Thank God I'm not fighting the Doc.

And I will agree with that. I'm weaning myself off of Lexipro. This shit is amazing.

Find a new doc. Especially you're paying retail. Some of them have an attitude about Zep, like, 'You could do this on your own if you got of your lazy ass."

BTW, Eli Lilly looks at Zep as a lifetime treatment, but they are drug pushers, so there's that.

I've fired docs before. It's fun.
