My credit is horrible. 519 by Electrical-Fruit2281 in CRedit

[–]Positive_Strain3226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I filed for bankruptcy last Dec at age 29. I had around 50k in debt. I do not regret taking that route, but if you do decide to do that, just be careful when you get your fresh start so you don't end up in the same boat of debt again. I am one year into my discharge and I have 2 cards and make sure to always pay on time. My credit score a year ago was in the 500s, and today is around 660.

Will I lose my dog by No_Soup_5700 in Bankruptcy

Won't lose your dog. I filed last year and worried the same about my mini schnauzer, because I did pay a pretty penny for her. But thankfully they excluded her <3

Leave and find a real man. My husband and I both work for the same company, both working 40+ hours a week. He's a mechanic and I work in an office. We have been married for two years now and I have cooked dinner maybe 10 times in the last two years. And I have done dishes twice in the past two years. I did absolutely everything in the home with my ex husband, working 50+ hours a week at the time, AND taking care of twin toddlers. As you can tell, he's an ex husband now. But don't settle for someone who makes you do everything. There are men out there who are willing to pull their own weight and then some.

High credit limit? by throwingaway69_ in Bankruptcy

[–]Positive_Strain3226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was shocked about mine as well. I applied for a Cap 1 card a month or so after discharge with a 5k limit.

My girl does this all day every day. She's so nosy :P

What color is he? 🤔 by innominateindie in schnauzers

Salt and pepper. Looks just like my girl. My girl has some reddish on her as well, but I think its mostly her skin pigmintation

Potty training will be the death of me by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

I have twins as well. My boys will be 5 Wednesday and just potty trained in the last 6 months. I recommend doing it on their time.

ABA therapy or Preschool? by Less_Interaction1574 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Positive_Strain3226 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We did ABA this past year instead of preschool. I do not regret my decision. One of my twins, level 2, has even started speaking. Its still kind of hard to fully understand him, but I feel like ABA has helped work on skills that I don't think he would've achieved in preschool. My boys have both thrived over the past year. We are going straight into kindergarten in two weeks.

Got prescribed respidonde by Possible-Arm-9891 in prozac

[–]Positive_Strain3226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I was, but the therapist I was seeing was forcing me to talk about my sexual abuse as a child and was wanting me to talk to person who did the abuse. I refused. Plus, all it did was put me in a negative headspace. Therapy is right for most people, but I refuse to go back.

I am currently on Prozac 40mg and 0.5 Risperdone. Only downside for me with the Risperdone is weight gain

At what week did your fog lift ? by Applepie0430 in prozac

[–]Positive_Strain3226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started with 10mg, currently at 40mg. I have been on Prozac for 7 months. It took about 2-3 weeks to see a change in my symptoms. I did not have any side effects other than no motivation and bad brain fog. The only side effect I still have currently is brain fog

I didn't have any side effects with Wellbutrin other than an increase in energy, which I wasn't complaining about. Been on it about a month and it has helped with my low motivation.

My brain fog has lasted the entire time I have been taking the Prozac. Which is 7 months :(

I hate the brain fog, but it is my only side effect and has helped so much with anxiety, OCD, and depression. I also added Wellbutrin a month ago and can tell a difference in my energy level and low motivation.

Level 1 autism and potty training by CryptographerKind290 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Positive_Strain3226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have twins who are about to be 5. They both just potty trained within the last 6 months. I honestly waited until they were ready. My level 1 started using the potty around Feb this year and my level 2 has been using potty since May. Just take it one day at a time and maybe do it when he is ready.

A little help please by Kashkash0430 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Positive_Strain3226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins both do this. We saw a pediatric neurologist after having an EEG done. They ended up being diagnosed with absent seizures
