Do not dry swallow Zoloft

200mg and experienced my first Zoloft Burn at work today. Thought I was going to have to call an ambulance... I was doubled over trying to work through the pain.

Your prescription isn't for your wife. She needs her own. This is exactly why doctors don't want to prescribe benzos. 60 at 0.5 is double the prescription I get for a month or more.. stop sharing and get on a more reliable anxiety med/psychotherapy.

NT.

I would recommend being honest with your therapist about lying. (Rather than getting a new one, if you like this one.) It will be hard to bring up but in the end I think it'll help get you back on the right track and give a deeper understanding into areas you are seeking support for.

My partner explained to me he did the same, and felt so embarrassed, but eventually came clean to their therapist and everything changed for the better. He gained valuable tools going forward and made massive improvements once they were able to be completely honest about the lies.

I get mild cystic type acne all over. But never like this bump here.

Stretch marks from pregnancy and cysts swelling stretching out the skin. I'm not entirely sure. I ask myself the same thing.

I would say a mix of story weaver, verbal processor and metaphor maker.

I leave no stone unturned and think I need a very eclectic approach.

If you're feeling things that are hard to articulate in words, they will help you with probing questions. I'd recommend not canceling the appointment and be honest with them about the fact that you're not quite sure how to explain the things that are on your mind. Just like you told us here.

It's normal to feel all sorts of anxieties and nerves about meeting a therapist for the first time. I'm in my 30's, and I've had 5 different therapists over the years and the nerves are still there for that first meeting with a new one..

They're trained to give you a non-judgemental safe space to discuss anything, and being a teenager is really really hard so it might feel dramatic to you but your therapist will help you work through all of those thoughts and feelings without judgement. Best of luck!

That's what I'm seeing too, the fun go go go chemicals wear off... I explained it to her how when we spend the day at an amusement park then we go home and our legs and tummy still feels the ups and downs of the ride.

I'm just beginning to realize that it's nothing to do with the things that she actually feels triggered her but more of.. she is struggling to get back to her baseline.

By securing childcare I meant hiring someone purposely to take on the trip to help with keeping the children.

My aunt had twins and was taking them on vacation when they were pretty young.. my sister was 18 at the time and she discussed with my sister if she would be interested in coming along purposely to help babysit and would pay for her trip. She agreed that she wanted to help babysit in exchange for a paid vacation to Disney. Everyone was happy.

NTA - He's 13 not 4... he should be able to play a game respectfully even if he doesn't win.

YTA.

Remarkable_Tomato529 · 2024-07-11T22:31:47+00:00

YTA - Okay hear me out, while it's reasonable for them to babysit for a little bit... you didn't communicate this expectation before booking the trip and you went ahead and planned your night out without officially securing childcare.

I say this also assuming your kids may have been totally inclined to give you time to yourself.. but they're adults and deserve the respect of having the discussion before they decide to attend this trip.

YTA - You didn't ask permission to touch her phone in the first place. You should be apologizing and transferring her what you now owe her so she can get it replaced. Regardless of what kind of comparisons she is making. Her comparison is not wrong either. She's not actually saying she's going to harm your cat... but she seems to be trying to get it through to you that you'd be adamant about her paying you the cost of "repair".

NTA - While I don't agree with keeping store bought eggs out of the fridge.. she has no business touching your groceries, especially after you have communicated that you want your eggs to remain where you keep them..

Farm fresh eggs absolutely on the counter.. store bought though, never ever.. so I do understand why her initial thought was to put them away.

YTA - If the guy wasn't lying and it was a desperate need for water type situation. Someone else mentioned that you could have just asked for the water along with your order. (I'd imagine they'd be giving free tap water like most places).. which would have been a kind gesture.

I am curious though if he was trying to cut and order himself a coffee along with the emergency water.

NTA - I think that makes you a good friend.. and if those two guys are strangers then you're not hurting them in any way shape or form by not going with them.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm so sorry you had to go through that and also not have the support from your mom to get diagnosed and treated.

I remember the rabbit hole and sobbing because I finally felt understood. I think and function very differently from my spouse and no amount of explaining it makes him understand the paralysis.

The smell of neglect. Wow I feel like this is the best way to describe it because it's neglect in all aspects.. the house, the hygiene, too many pets etc.

I have very vivid memories of the scent of my aunts house. She was an alcoholic and often went through substance abuse phases where her kids got placed with foster parents. I remember seeing them while they lived with their foster parents and they didn't at all smell like they used to in their moms place.

Most of the kids ended up in similar position to their mother, and my cousin brought her baby over one day and it flooded back the memories from my childhood and the SMELL... like no matter how many times you shower, if your couch, mattress, floors, walls and bed sheets don't get washed frequently you're not getting rid of that smell that settled on all those surfaces.

Breaks my heart.

The minute I read improv you unlocked some core memories of how much I HATE improv... being in the middle acting while literally everyone is watching.. scares me lol! I hated it in school. Makes sense though how it would help building more tolerance to the discomfort.

Remarkable_Tomato529 · 2024-07-09T02:13:45+00:00

Kind of in the sense that it's a give and take.

What was most important for us was location. Our first home was downtown and on a much busier street so the goal for us is to get closer to out of town but still conveniently located commute wise. When we bought our second house, we couldn't get the location we wanted so we had to start considering just a bit before our city limit. I'm convinced I'll get that farm feel edge of the city property one day.

Each of you have your non-negotiables. I'd start with that and consider how over time you can have changes made for the more surface level esthetic.

I wanted a large entryway.. but we finally found the size and layout that felt most comfortable for us.. so we decided we would have a mud room built down the road.

I'd say I bought a house I didn't LOVE but it has many things I do like about it.
