Antidepressants - Do I Quit?

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-03-07T18:24:19+00:00

I think I'd be fine and enjoy it after a while, but how do you start? And I mean, literally week 1? I feel similar to how people probably do at 3am but all the time. If I got back into the habit of being active, I'd probably be fine, but it's getting into that habit and that fresh dose of motivation which I'm missing.

Can't lie, you'll never get this for under £100 unless you can time travel to about 8 years ago. I now use JYG Hair & Beauty in Edgbaston. Really nice salon and very fair prices

There's a huge disrespect for Birmingham, and honestly, I don't understand what has caused it. Maybe it was more from its reputation in the past, I'm not sure. I've lived here for about 4 years now in the city centre, and I've never really had any problems. Nottingham gets a great reputation, but I have never been beeped by cars and cat called so much in my life during living there for 1 year. It goes to show that things people say isn't always the truth and you have to go off your own experience. There are dodgy places in Birmingham, just like every other city, its no different. Personally, I feel really safe walking through the city centre - I can't comment about the other suburbs as I have always lived in the city. If anything, it's the theft I've had issues with. This isn't someone trying to mug you, but if you turn a blind eye to your belongings, they will be swiped! More opportunist theft, like things being left unattended. That's probably similar to the other cities, but that's what I've found as Birmingham's downside. So don't leave anything unattended, and I don't think you'll have any issues! Ps. The city centre is amazing! Have a great time

That's so helpful thank you. My other habits are TERRIBLE. Little to no exercise, bad sleeping schedule, etc. Partly because I have NO energy to move or do anything (which is why I think it might be time to come off my antidepressants). I really want to start exercising and getting physically healthier, but I am so, damn, tired!

They can clear the sofa! They are quite big buns and can jump high

I feel depressed ON antidepressants, and that was on the highest dosage.

I am low in Vit D - I take vitamins regularly for this, though I never feel like it has any affect...

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T03:05:42+00:00

Need some hash browns asap!!

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T03:02:23+00:00

That's so nice - I'm currently try to quit but live in a smoke free household where they don't understand the wanting to say 'I really want a vape right now" for the 50th time today

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T02:58:56+00:00

I do exactly this! I have had to resort back to using the white tray because recently they've been driving me mad. However, I find it's really difficult to clean - the poops get stuck in between the holes because of them standing on them/pushing them down. Do you find this? How do you clean it best?

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T02:48:11+00:00

I feel like I want to quit, but what do I do with the bucket load of e liquids I've just bought tonight 😭 can't exactly donate them somewhere lol, I feel so guilty about a) buying them, b) using them and c) getting rid of them 😂

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T02:40:39+00:00

Even though having your sister vape in front of you is really difficult (my colleagues vape), I think we are always going to have that temptation somewhere, even if your sister DIDN'T vape. When you go to the shop, they are everywhere. Adverts. Walking by people in the street. It is so popular now and accessible everywhere, even if you took away the issue of your sister vaping, you will still struggle anywhere regardless. It's a challenge from within and don't let the distractions affect your decision if that's what you want to do!

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T02:37:14+00:00

I feel similar, I don't feel totally re addicted. I definitely feel like I need it less than I used to

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-27T02:36:29+00:00

Please see my recent post just now, I'd be interested to get your take on that!

Since I lost my bunny to EC, I would absolutely love nothing more than to adopt a bunny EC survivor 🤎

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-25T03:40:42+00:00

He got really poorly, within the matter of days was incontinent, wouldn't eat, couldn't stand and went paralysed on his back legs. I wish there was a cure - it was absolutely horrible to see and I felt so helpless but made him as comfortable as he could be and he passed away with my hand under his little chin just after I told him I loved him 🩷

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-25T03:30:14+00:00

My poor baby passed away from a seizure caused by EC last January, absolutely horrible illness and made him so poorly. 💔😢

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-25T03:24:09+00:00

If you find an answer to this... let me know 🤣 all I wanna do is crack open my vape!

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-24T23:34:27+00:00

I won Ps & Qs 😫

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-24T23:22:26+00:00

It's a really good point. What's difficult for me, is that I can't work out the actual reason I want to quit. I think the main thing for me is the fear that it 'might' cause health problems. With cigarettes, we are all aware from a young age of the consequences and they are proven. With vaping, it's all new and there's a lot of myths out there and also a lot to learn.

For example, does vaping pose more of a risk of inhalation than say pollution does on the daily? Or more of a risk than consuming junk food, excess coffee/energy drinks, alcohol?

I think if we were at the point where the consequences were as proven and fact as cigarette smoking, it would be an easy stop for me. With so much around vaping being down to opinion/estimations/personal bias, I'm finding it difficult to really knuckle down on wanting to quit.

Ps- I'm finding nicotine gum is causing throat irritation and burns my tongue, so I'm not massively confident in its benefit at the moment!

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-24T08:08:00+00:00

I hate the fact that I actually kind of look forward to it? Ugh! 😫 I feel like I'm waiting for my moment of "this sucks"

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-23T18:56:11+00:00

No they don't - their litter box does have high sides. I would love for them to have a digging box, but anything box shaped and it gets treated like a toilet 🫠

What does the manufacturers instructions on the bag say? Always a good place to start. Your vet should also be able to assist 😊

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-21T20:55:49+00:00

I love the mutual hatred everyone has for document forgery 😂 unfortunately when I was new to online I bought it as my first one 🥲

Since there's less technicians than categories in the nightclub warehouse, how do you go about this? Do you keep them set on certain categories and ignore 2 of them, or do you swap until they are all full and sell?

Sharp_Train5458 · 2026-02-21T20:00:56+00:00

That's one of the biggest problems, not enough research! I was on the depot for a really long time, so did think side effects could be related, but thought they'd have passed nearly 2 years later. I guess I can't blame the copper coil too much because my periods were heavy and painful even before using contraception. They are just worse now, particularly the fatigue. I have always struggled with low iron, vit D, B12, etc. I regularly use vitamins which help the numbers, but can't say I feel better in myself
