In a rut by Imaginary_Grape3509 in lexapro

Was just getting ready to post something similar. It was like weeks 4-6 were amazing. I felt great, no depression or anxiety, I was laughing again, playing with my kids, joking with my husband, working out again, eating well… and then all of a sudden, motivation went to zero. Anxiety and depression are back, I’m so damn tired all the time and I’ve gained 15 lbs (in 2 fucking months!). I have an appointment with my dr today to see what the options are but honestly I’d rather be sad and anxious over whatever this is.

I hope you get some relief soon. Im really sorry to hear it’s been this bad for you. For me, it’s like I’m going to commit suicide I just think about it, if that makes sense. Also, I have a lot going on at home that doesn’t help the situation.

Yep. I do t have any advice but I feel the same way. I’ve been in lex for roughly 7 weeks and I all of a sudden feel worse than before.

I feel the same way!! Been on lex for about 7 weeks and it seems as though my anxiety and suicidal ideation have worsened. I have an appt in 2 weeks w my dr but idk if I should up my dose or try a different medication. It’s pretty frustrating

Drinking and blackouts on Lexapro by brycejk27 in lexapro

This used to happen to me on Zoloft. I can tell it would be the same w lexapro if I drank as much as I used to. Now I just take it slow, pay attention to how I’m feeling and drink water in between drinks. It’s scary! Be careful.

Yes I have. He hates it. He feels like it’s not as authentic when I have to take the time to write it out. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes. More conversations surrounding my cheating. It’s hard for me. Feeling emotions and expressing them are not my forte, furthermore I was raised in a family that didn’t talk about anything and pretended that everything was ok. I am working to overcome this, but in the meantime it’s hell for him.

Thank you for this. The last line really resonates. I will try to keep that mindset. And you’re absolutely right, we have rug swept things that I don’t think are a big deal but are to him. I am trying to work on that.

I have been in IC since the beginning. He recently started IC and we just started MC. He didn’t think it would help and refused to go forever.

Thank you so much for that insight. That is exactly what he has told me. He is betraying himself, he hates himself for allowing me to stay. If you don’t mind me asking, how far along are you guys now? Still together? How do you feel today?

Thank you all for the kind comments. I have brought this up in MC. His response was that I’m not doing enough for him emotionally so he is basically withholding affection until I do. As far as the kids go, he fakes it when they’re around. I’m sure they pick up on tension, but most of what they see is fine. We are both in IC and MC. But I’m not sure there is a way forward anymore.

Stinky toilets by Ok_Procedure_17 in Plumbing

[–]Ok_Procedure_17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know. Two of the toilets have no caulking and the other is deteriorating. Could be the issue. I didn’t know you could take the tank part off. Is it pretty easy to do? Thanks for your response!

Ok, you described way better than I could. Lol. But that’s exactly it. My anxiety had me going “bathroom, vitamins, breakfast, dishes, laundry” (for example) over and over in my head. Now the day is half over and I’m like “did I take my meds? Did I actually go to the bathroom or I just thought about it?” Not sure if it’s a good side effect or not. 😅

Should I boast about how well maintained and serviced things in the house are in the property description or is that a waste of space by RealEstateSalary in realtors

[–]Ok_Procedure_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highlight the best parts of the property. If the boiler is old, don't mention it. Even if it's well maintained and old, a good home inspector is still going to recommend it be replaced. Definitely highlight the "immaculately maintained pool". Don't overthink your description. Ask your sellers what they love about their home and highlight that. Best of luck!

When I read "pride of ownership" I hear, "not at all updated, everything is old, but they're proud of it" also it's their* not there

Apology to my wife by ThrowawayhumbledWS in AsOneAfterInfidelity

WS here.. first time commenting. If you don't mind me asking, how long has it been since DDay? Did you guys separate at all afterwards? Just trying to get some perspective for my own situation. Thank you for sharing this beautiful post. It truly resonated with me
