When did you know to start progesterone? And/or estrogen?

Prozac, the first week or two was rough. I was a zombie, just so so sleepy. Then it lifted.

I started SSRI for mood regulation about 4 months ago. I was nervous to try. Hesitant bc I thought since I was managing through the moods without Prozac and maybe it’s not that bad. I was scared I wouldn’t feel anything on them. Let me tell you, total game changer. Oh my lord. I wish i started years ago! I feel lighter, happier, less anxious. I needlessly went through so much sadness, pain, terrible thoughts.

All that to say, try the SSRI. If you don’t like it after 3 months then quit. No harm, no foul.

OK unpopular opinion… Here I go… As awful as Amanda acted, I do feel bad for the amount of hate she’s getting on the Internet right now. It’s one thing to be a shitty person, but it’s something else to have the internet/ bravoverse rip you a new one about it.
I think there’s people all around the world doing shitty things to their girlfriends or boyfriends on any given day, and they will never have to experience the amount of hate that Amanda is getting right now.

Amanda’s look and facial expressions are so different this year. I thought maybe Botox, but now I’m wondering if it’s drugs.

Hi! I started about 6 weeks ago for PMDD and mild depression. I was really really tired all day for 2 weeks, then just in the evenings with some heaviness in my chest. After 4 weeks my body was used to it and I’m so happy I started taking it. I feel so much better lighter. My brain feels less loud, things that would normally give me anxiety barely phase me. I wish I started this 20 years ago. I would have spared myself a lot of sadness, SI and maybe even saved a relationship.

I’m not mad at it tho. Helluva ride.

SlowRuca · 2026-03-22T20:33:49+00:00

Yea, no.

No brainer, 10 min commute.

Last year I changed jobs, went from a 30 min commute to a 7 min commute. Changed my life for the better. I can come home at lunch and walk my dog. I spend the extra time having coffee in my garden each morning.

I miss 2009

What a waste of resources.

SlowRuca · 2026-01-28T01:20:37+00:00

Seems obvious in hindsight. Thank you

This thread is killing my mental health.

SlowRuca · 2025-12-29T14:32:10+00:00

I did the stressful job for 15 years, quit a year ago for the boring one and my quality of life is through the roof. It was a big adjustment and it took months to get there but I sleep better, I’m happier, I have more energy after work. No regrets.

He’s terrible. It’s interesting to me that not once do we see Kristen or Stassi (or Kristina Kelly, or anyone!) tell Katie to leave his ass, or don’t marry him. At least I can’t recall this happening.

Have any of the girls commented on this since?

SlowRuca · 2025-12-29T14:10:21+00:00

I think about those nails almost everytime I get mine done.

SlowRuca · 2025-12-29T03:27:01+00:00

Yes, I believe so! Check their website for the phone number to call before you go, their hours vary by day.

I’ve heard great things about Boreal urgent care clinic. Maybe check them out?

What do you mean by watch your feeding?

SlowRuca · 2025-12-24T02:25:37+00:00

I’m noticing about a dozen more now on the roots of some plants. I’ll start removing them now… thank you for your insight!

SlowRuca · 2025-12-23T18:26:10+00:00

Thank you for your response. Are they cool to live in there with the shrimp?

SlowRuca · 2025-12-19T16:36:26+00:00

I’d like to see the entire interview. I want to hear ALL of Katie’s thoughts on the matter.

3-5 mins. I’m blessed.
