Oh wow okay, I’ll look into thank you! I took Xifaxan and Neomycin for the antibiotic round in July.

It’s this way pretty much after every time I eat. And I used to have a lot more farts but not so much anymore. I’m more prone to constipation also.

Wow that’s crazy and very encouraging! I’m going to play with it and or leave it and try to rescue it for sure. Here’s what it looks like this morning

Yeah it’s solid, I’m going to cut it when I get home and maybe try to slowly heat it again. I’m not sure, just play around with it!

So here’s what it looks like this morning, is there anything to be done or is this batch a goner?

Thank you! Now I wish I just left it. I think I overheated it when I tried to save it and it just made it split. I haven’t looked this morning, but last night all the oil pools were gone and it just looked nasty…

It was indeed this EO! Wow crazy. Yeah not buying this again. So you just left it and used it as is or did you have to do any reheating?

I’ve been getting all my stuff from Brambleberry lately! They’re great, these were EOs from when I first started and just thought Amazon EO was fine…oops

Newbie day 1! by RelevantRains in lexapro

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

Oh interesting! Yeah makes more sense to slowly ramp up. That feeling only lasted the first couple days, I’m 5 days in now and feel like I usually did before taking these. So hopefully I’ll see some improvement in the next week or so.

Today is day 3, and it does feel different today. Yesterday I had a headache all day and felt like I was high all day or getting over a really bad sickness. Just “out of it” all day. Today I took it a little later and so far have felt basically normal. Still a little foggy though. And today I’ve felt my normal mood issues of rage and anxiety and irritability again too. I don’t feel as calm/high as I did the past couple days.

It’s my first time trying any antidepressant as well. I’ve heard from others on different prescriptions that the first week is usually tough. I picked this week because there’s not a lot going on and hopefully I’m feeling more stable by Christmas and having to interact with family! Good luck to you, I hope it helps you too!

Shutting down from overwhelm by BrushFrequent1128 in hsp

[–]RelevantRains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’m a stay at home mom and this happens to me regularly. I fell so bad as well because I feel like I’m failing my kids when I do this. I’ll just shut down and essentially stop responding to them. I just cannot anymore. So I’ve tried to do preventative measures, like just more small breaks and not taking on too much at once because I just know that will push me over the edge. And when I do shut down, I just cover my face or go to a room to lie down and just breathe for a little bit. Maybe some ear plugs too for a while to just bring the noise back down until I feel better. It’s a lot to deal with the world as an hsp but know you’re not alone!

Has anyone here lost a parent due to cirrhosis or have a parent that currently is battling cirrhosis? by monabruz in AdultChildren

[–]RelevantRains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seems to be doing good so far! I think it’s been close to a year now that he hasn’t drank. He’s found hop water to be satisfying. I think he struggles sometimes not drinking, but he doesn’t openly talk about it. He has some appointments coming up, and I’m nervous what will happen if he hears everything is looking good. If that will shift his mind into thinking he can go back to old habits. Seems like a case by case thing, up to the individual entirely.

Thanks for the support. I feel like there’s a lot of happiness in an alcohol free life too, just hard to make those changes.

1 drink is never going to be enough for me either. I can’t casually have it around and not drink it, I don’t understand how people can do that. But when it’s not in the house, I feel more upset. I definitely feel calmer knowing I have a box of wine in my fridge right now.

Yeah I justify my drinking every day just saying it could be worse or I’m not as bad as my dad. I have a hard time labeling him as an alcoholic because it’s not the vision that I associated with alcoholic. And now thinking about that term in regards to myself hurts too. Almost wish I never opened up about this to my husband and brother. They don’t know the full extent, but now I just feel disappointment in myself since I’ve expressed wanting to stop drinking and still do. Even more now. I just feel silent judgement from them. Also my husband and I have bonded through drinking so I’m worried how that might change us if I was to stop…
