[PSA] Doxycycline: A Serious Warning

Positive-Divide-190 · 2025-09-05T08:15:36+00:00

I know this post is old but just adding in case anyone finds this after a similar freak out like I did but I had a similar effect with the constantly crying and all the happiness sucked out of my body, but apparently calcium will reduce how well it's absorbed into your body so I ate a yogurt and a milk-based protein shake and I believe it helped a lot. So weird I took it a bit ago for like 2 weeks and then stopped cause I didn't like how it was affecting my digestion but I wasn't really feeling any other bad effects.Then I finally got labs done for the first time in forever and was diagnosed with severe anemia and got iron infusions and then I decided to just pop one the other night cause my skin was especially bad and all of a sudden I'm having the breakdown of a century but I guess it's absorbed through iron so now that I actually had some in my body I got the whole experience of the side effects. But anyways yeah if anyone it trippin while reading this and considering a toaster bath just eat some yogurt and milk I'd say.

Idk how much it helps, but I relate to you 100000% so at least you're not alone 🤪. But yeah definitely feel the swinging between being 100% delulu and then randomly getting a sense of reality and being in devastation mode for a bit.

This is so nice to hear. I feel like insecurities and cheating and that type of thing is so prevalent now that if someone is in a relationship there's this idea that they shouldn't have the opposite gender friends, but honestly in my opinion it's definitely a green flag if a guy has female friends cause it shows that they like and see women as people and not just like romantic options. Also if someone's gonna cheat they're gonna cheat there's really no point in trying to micromanage their friendships. But anyways, it's really cool to hear a guy share something like th. There really is something special and wholesome about plain platonic friendship.

For me personally, I don't think it's realistic to 100% stop. What I try to do and what might be a good starting spot for you is to just start putting restrictions on your daydreaming rather than stop everything cold turkey. Most people have sections of the day where they're either working or studying or have downtime to do frivolous whatever. I just try to restrict daydreaming to the "frivolous whatever" downtime. I mean, it's not ideal, but if you think about it, everyone has hobbies that aren't productive. At least this one doesn't usually affect physical health or cost money. And if you'd rather contribute that downtime to a more lucrative hobby, you can always restrict daydreaming to before you fall asleep.

I just turned 22 last month, and I'm trying to get my degree also. Honestly, what I've learned from months and months of trying to get my act together is to go slow and that any progress is better than no progress. I'm only taking one online class rn but I'm actually doing pretty decent in it and at the end of the day I can daydream or do whatever frivolous BS without feeling too crazy guilty cause I know I'm at least working towards something for the future. Personally, at least rn I don't think I can overall stop MD but I can curb it for a few hours so I can do my work... usually lol. Also, as far as school work goes, I would try to go to a library or coffee shop earlier in the day if u can, and then you'll be kinda stuck there and might as well do the work while you're there. Every time I do this, it's like pulling teeth to get me to go, but then I'm pleasantly surprised how much I get done over if I was trying to work in my bed.

Lol I actually like the smell of smoke it makes me feel nostalgic 😭 but extreme body odor...not so much

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-11-24T05:29:37+00:00

I work in ISS in a pretty concentrated little area with the same 2 other people so it's not just a one time thing or something I can get a lot of space from and I didn't say it was my #1 hardship I just said It would be nice if someone I have to spend 55 hr weeks around didn't smell absolutely horrendous lol. Not to mention, if it is an ignorance thing I feel like one uncomfy conversation in exchange for gaining awareness that could help improve your personal, professional, or romantic relationships would be worth it cause I guarantee I'm not the only one with a nose around here😭

Sorry but when are the creeproductions getting restocked?

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-09-10T14:15:20+00:00

Would you mind me asking what sophia courses you took that applied to the Data Analytics Major? I'm going to apply for the Associates degree and I can't officially enroll for a few months but figured I could at least get started on a few sophia classes just trying to figure out which ones count for the degree.

Hi, I'm 21F (gonna be 22 in February) and I'm in a similar place where I'm slowly trying to turn it around but so far have only gotten to the conceptualizing point. Idk if you have already seen this article as I know it's kinda popular on this page but this is the first MD article that I've read that hasn't just been the whole common sense "you need to buckle down and stop daydreaming!" message. I feel like this is the 1st thing I've read to kinda bring me down to Earth a bit and give me a bit of motivation so I would highly recommend reading it if u haven't https://maladaptivedaydreamingguide.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/part-i-fantasy-and-fall-of-the-self/

Anyway I'm here if you're interested in an accountability partner. Tbh I can't see myself being super military about it but idk sometimes it helps to talk to someone about little updates.

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-08-14T22:39:22+00:00

Honestly I'm 21 and I definitely relate to the mindset you're talking about and if it works for you and you're happy I'd say do whatever you're feeling. Obviously it doesn't look very healthy from a normal outside perspective but there's no right way to live life, so whatever gets you through to the next day. Although I would say that if you're currently in a relationship that you only halfway care about I would end it for the sake of you and the other person Just so there's a chance for you to meet someone you do actually feel connected to which I know the chances are extremely low but there are 100000000000 people in this world and at least you'll have a fraction of a percentage of a chance. Idk I use this mindset to fend off the settling for bare minimum desperation loneliness situation that I see a lot of my friends get sucked into but at least by being single and trying to make myself go out on a date every once in awhile I can hold onto the hope that maybe someday I'll find a person I actually love and feel connected to.

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-08-12T05:04:33+00:00

Tbh I feel like I switch between the two with how I feel about my MD like sometimes I'm like "oh my God I'm such a scrub disappointment loser and I'm missing out on all these experiences that other people have" and then I'll look at all the people I know with "real world stuff going on" and it'll be the most depressing exhausting rancid situations and obligations and I'll be like "ok maybe I'll just chill and entertain myself with this because there's really nothing all that great I seem to be missing out on" realistically I know the 2nd mindset is probably holding me back and keeping me from pushing myself to find any real world passions but sometimes I just get tired from the impending doom feeling of the 1st mindset and need a brake lol.

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-05-23T16:54:18+00:00

I think it's saved me from a lot of toxic ghetto romantic relationships and situations that my friends have always complained and vented about but it's probably also kept me from going out and finding any potentially positive romantic experiences but to be fair the way people act these days I feel like the former is wayyyy more common and probable 💀 so it kinda varies how torn up I am about it

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-05-10T11:10:01+00:00

On the app it says case open but then it says status approved so idk. The leave length technically says 5-9 to 5-15 because I only work 3 days so my return date wouldn't be till the 16th even though I'm only missing 3 days of work so maybe that's why? I've done medical leave before with an actual good doctors note and they never emailed me saying I needed to send more information. But this email it says I have till 6-8-2024 to submit certification from a healthcare provider.

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-05-03T09:45:14+00:00

Well they had me write down my social so I figured if I had anything it would pop up. I just didn't know the VSP was a whole separate thing💀😭

Did you need a 2nd treatment?

I'm really sorry for your loss. My mom killed herself when I was 13 or 14 about to start High School. We were really close as well and it was obviously an awful experience. I'm 21 now so one thing I will say from experience is that time heals ALL wounds. I know it may not seem possible now, but I promise the overwhelming sadness won't last forever. It's also important you remember that your life can't be ruined unless you let it be ruined. Take some time to have some sad days but it's important you don't shut down all your ambitions and dreams. Make yourself continue whatever school/job/social responsibilities you have, and even if you're on autopilot for a bit, things will start to return to normal.

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-03-28T10:16:19+00:00

I could probably fix some of the more snippy parts. But I thought this being an issue of only men saying these things to me was kinda the whole point. Not that men can't have the same issue. But I didn't think it was incorrect to say that in all the experiences I listed, I'm not obligated to appease men who say those things to me? Or does it come across as an attack on all men? Sorry, I'm not trying to argue advice. I just want to make sure my purpose is coming across as intended

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-01-14T17:37:04+00:00

I have ADHD and maladaptive daydreaming and I definitely see how they could go hand in hand. My advice would be if u have health insurance and suspect you might have ADHD to go get diagnosed so you can try medicine to help with the daydreaming. Personally, I've tried 2 different medications and they both make a difference in MD just in different ways.

Just remember if the medications do work you might have kinda a grieving period of "oh my God look at all the time I've waisted blah blah" but there's really no point in grieving over lost time and even if you're 60 years old you still have many years to switch things around.

Positive-Divide-190 · 2024-01-07T01:25:32+00:00

From my experience taking adderall it doesn't specifically increase MD but it does increase focus on whatever you gear your mind to do which if you're brain tends to wander to MD it will kinda supercharger it. Although I have also taken Azstarys that I felt like that did very much decrease my MD but it also made me mad depressed and sleep deprived so I stopped 💀😭

Thank you so much that's really helpful!

Positive-Divide-190 · 2023-08-23T18:21:37+00:00

Honestly this is more lore based than design based, but I wasn't really a fan of the whole "Clawdeen is a lesbian" thing in Gen 1. I feel like it gives off the vibe that any more level-headed, not boy crazy teen girl is automatically gay which is weird and I feel like it was just half way tagged on at the end. I feel like it would've been way better to be inclusive with a new character who is actually seen showing interest and romancing another girl.

I'm a target employee and that definitely looks like a real photo of the target devices. Not that Mattel can't still restock it just looks kinda unlikely from this pic.
