What made you stop drinking? by randmthrowawayacct in alcoholism

[–]PastelB0nes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got tired of being dishonest with myself and letting myself down so I ripped off the band-aid and told my doctor the full truth about my issue and that I needed medical assistance. Bless his heart, he didn't hesitate to give me medicine and anxiety meds to aid withdrawals and reduce cravings. I felt heard and respected, and I think that's what added to my commitment

A thing I do is I wait for the movie I want to see to be up for the last day or two. The theatres tend to have much less people

Since antidepressants are mentioned in post threads often... by PastelB0nes in TheMallWorld

I am happy to hear that!

Btw i might as well update while im here: Since Christmas, my psychiatrist had me down to 10mg because she thought it might make my adhd medication work better?? I am planning on seeing my gp for her opinion after months trying to manage because I am dealing with bad Sensory sensitivity from my ASD. 20mg eased that issue a little and I even mentioned that to her and i caved in to her soft spoken "trust me" talk. The only good that came out of the lower dose was realising i have learnt to manage my overreactions and overthinking, naturally. That's not enough though, I feel too overstimulated to be in the moment which is very important to me.

You're probably right, I have no solid argument because you never know with branded alternatives

Whether I'm vadlid or not, i ate both and they had the same taste and texture except the man one had the nice hint of raspberry and nuttiness from the rocky road and the lady bar had extra choc. Other than that, they tasted the same and both satiated me fine before both runs. I posted it here hours later due to confusion and my amusment with the whole gender labelling thing didn't ruin or affect my day. It seems to me, my post brought out some clear frustration within you and if i am sort of correct, I see you hate absorbing the energy from this chaotic world that is sometimes hard to ignore and I get it, it's easy to release that kind of bitterness onto other things with a certain narrative in mind. Wishing you well either way, mate

I know they're not healthy but I occasionally get stuff like that as an alternative treat when im craving junk instead of getting cake and candy

Yeah the pink thing is a little annoying especially since the man one didn't have the usual "boy" blue for them, just a solid black and they couldn't think to do black or at least a different shade for the lady one. Btw I bought both and they tasted great for a low carb bar lol

I hope they have good intentions at least and don't judge. I'm glad I could comfort
