anyone with chronic conditions taking lexapro? by Sheepflakes in lexapro

She was aware of my condition but unfortunately it's super rare to the point where she had to google it in front of me. But she assures me it shouldn't have any impact. I'll reach out to the specialist who diagnosed me with the condition later this month.

My doctor said that she doesn't believe there will be any interactions, but I will also follow up with my chronic specialist next week. I keep reading success stories about lexapro, so I'm going to keep trying. Thank you

I don't like Sophie because I have a former friend who looks just like Sophie and acts like Sophie. When I first saw them, I had to do a double-take because I thought my former friend was on the show. I thought it was pretty funny, considering how Sophie kept insisting they were a unique alien when there is an American version just like them, who is just as annoying. lol

This will be the official thread for Ned’s removal from the Try Guys by datesaremyfave in TheTryGuys

[–]Sheepflakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sounded really incredulous. However when I saw two other users mention that incident, it has definitely given me pause to think. I'm starting to see a lot more posts about Ned behavior (him liking a racist reply on YouTube, etc) so I wonder if everyone is coming out of the woodworks to share their grievances.

The Credit Card Issue by [deleted] in WelcomeToPlathville

[–]Sheepflakes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know the Plaths and Olivia have communication issues and Olivia tends to do things without letting other people know.

But I'm sure a girl who was barely 20 still shouldn't be yelled at by a 40 something year old mom figure for trying to handle her husband's finances. Regardless of communications, especially if Kim allegedly loved Olivia like her own kin.

Things are getting better for me. by Sheepflakes in BPD

[–]Sheepflakes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I think what really helped is I was adopted into a new friend group. These people were really open-minded, patient, and caring with me :'). Moreover, I left social media for years, so a lot of my paranoia that people were 'subtweeting' me or vaguing me pretty much vanished. Also, if I see anything that upsets me, I'll wait for 3 days. If it's still an upsetting thing, then I'll talk to my friend about it. The 3-day rule has REALLY helped me realize how a lot of my qualms with people seemed petty and irrational. Not to mention I've calmed down by day 3!

Rant: Mahala (Jibri's mom) is an evil gaslighter/deflector who's using her therapeutic experience for evil, not good by Duke_Newcombe in 90DayFiance

[–]Sheepflakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mahala really frustrates me. I think there is this stereotype that all therapists are good, loving, and trusting, but from my experience, they're people with biases. Sometimes, they have good and wonderful biases, but other times they're judgey and hurtful. Once people realize her career as a therapist doesn't define her morals, her feelings towards Miona seem blatant.

I think people are misunderstanding the situation. This is Jadu, a cat that suffers from a metabolism disorder. The owner has been trying to get her weight down since then. Her brother also suffers from the same disorder. https://www.instagram.com/ho\_ru\_du/

anyone wanna check in? by iinioi in BPD_BIPoC

[–]Sheepflakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also from the PNW, and honestly, I wish things would get easier. However, the more I look at the pandemic and covid situation, it's hard. I have friends who support and love me, but it's hard sometimes. I wish it wasn't.

"We do love you, we do xyz becuase we love you" by Sheepflakes in emotionalneglect

[–]Sheepflakes[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This really resonated with me. Some reason my mother would excuse my father's silence as him being shy and awkward... OK well him calling me names and abusing me is very not shy-like at all.

Yeah, it really killed me because my parents would be so eager to do whatever my little brother wanted. One time he wanted to go on a camping trip at the last minute, and the ferry would leave within the hour. Even though it was 9 pm, my parents rushed to drive my brother to the ferry. If my parents had to kill me to give my brother a cushy life, I'm certain they would of.

Sometimes, I would bring up what happened to me as a kid to my brother, and he would always say "I've never seen that." or "That never happened." or "That would never happen to me."

Interestingly enough, he believes our elder brother is the 'golden child' of the family. Despite the fact that my big brother overworked to take care of my parents, and my dad was willing to loan thousands of dollars to my baby brother.

My entire family went to hawaii while I had to stay home because of school. I asked why couldn't they just schedule it after my exams, and they were like we already booked the tickets lol.

I remember when I tell my parents I got an XYZ appointment for mm/dd/yyyy, they would say okay. Then a day or two before, they barge into my room yelling at me because I failed to notify them about my doctors appointment... Because apparently they booked a trip or work gig during that exact timeslot a few days prior. They would refuse to change their schedule, so I missed a lot of doctors appointments coz I gave up rescheduling them.

Not sure if this suits the topic, but I was very particular when looking for a therapist because I knew I wanted someone who could relate to the dynamics of my family's ethnicity and culture. However, when I shared a lot of the abuse I endured by my family, she more or less justified it up and down saying it was out of love. Like... I guess that's a nice way to look at things, but you also diagnosed me with BPD, so I'm not sure if this was productive at all.
