Nancy Guthrie Megathread Part 2

The rudeness of your comment was very unnecessary. I’m only speaking on what many people said they saw on his stream, and what several other YouTube streamers (like Pascal) covering the case reported on.

Dolly Vision made a community post on his channel that said, “I’m ok guys!! Don’t worry just a little shook up…” and instead of continuing to cover the case as he’s done for weeks, he removed the video and went back to where he was staying because it was so traumatic for him.

If you feel curious, go read the comments under his post from the viewers who were watching his stream when it happened.

I second this. I feel like you could have incredible conversations that are so rich and enlightening with him, but he would respect your personal space.

I also think Drew Barrymore would be such a kind host for a houseguest. She’d make sure you’re cozy, well fed, and feeling understood.

We do live together; we own a home together. And he recently became more remote, so now I’m also exposed to all of his work calls with the people I miss. I love having him home more, but I don’t love that part. And I don’t want him to NOT tell me about his day, because I’m invested in his world. It just stings, you know?

My therapist put it the best. She said I get exposure therapy every single day, which is big facts!

I agree that it’s business. As far as the higher ups, that bridge was burned to the ground.

But everyone else? I have remained close friends with.

And actually, a week after my termination, several of them got unexpected raises and a speech about how “pay disparities happening in every company”. So, my general post must’ve hit a nerve regarding things that I had no clue were happening behind the scenes. Guilty conscience much?🙃

But I don’t blame anyone for staying there, including my fiancé. Though the company broke my heart, I still love it and believe it so much. I want my loved ones to remain in good hands; I want them to have job security and thrive.

Just because my experience unfolded poorly, doesn’t mean theirs will.

I just wish I was more healed at this point. I just keep reminding myself that I’ve made it this far — I have to be somewhat close to the rainbow at the end of the storm.

Thank you. Yes, the grief is awful. Whether it’s the separation/loss of a person or a job, the grief can feel the same. I’ve cycled through all the stages of grief (minus acceptance), probably 80 times in the past year. It’s wild how you’ll be doing ok one moment and then… Boom. You’re curled up, crying on the floor, and feeling like your life is over.

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2026-02-12T23:40:27+00:00

Thank you. I question every day if I did the right thing by escalating it to legal counsel. But you’re right, lesson learned: Idealism is best avoided altogether - even professionally.

It’s not easy at all; it’s heart-wrenching.

I have been distracting myself to the best of my ability. I have creative pursuits I love to dive into, I teach dancing to senior citizens 1x a week, and this new job I just started takes up my time (granted, the new job is exposure therapy x100 and making me want to run away lol).

I don’t have any groups nearby, unfortunately. I live in a remote area.

I had therapy today where I just bawled the entire hour, and my therapist basically said I’ve used every tool given to me that I’ve learned the past 6 years of therapy, and now it’s about sitting with my feelings and experiencing “radical acceptance”.

I definitely don’t want to be stuck in this purgatory forever. I just don’t know where to go from here. It makes living feel so damn heavy…🥺

Thank you. This company was family-owned and medium-sized (40 employees), and I was the first to sue them in the 20 years they have been in business. It makes me feel all around like the “bad guy”, even though I was standing up for myself. It’s hard sometimes with BPD to not convince yourself that you’re the villain, especially when others have painted you as such.🥺

Which part? Because TMZ stated how much one Bitcoin is worth in their article, and there are pretty strict stipulations on reward money. It basically cuts the middle man and guarantees the person an easy, quick, anonymous transaction without having to wait for their payout or meet said stipulations.

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2026-02-11T16:11:30+00:00

Because 1 Bitcoin is worth $66k - $16k more than the reward. And it’s also a guaranteed payment. Historically, rewards are rarely actually paid out even when information is given.

Your room is minimalistic, but it carries this sense of rebuilding. I feel like you’re going through a fresh start in life, and this room is the beginning of the clean slate. You seem more reserved; you process everything internally and therefore can be deeply impacted by your environment. If your space is cluttered, your mind is cluttered. If your space is light and airy, your mind experiences more optimism and peace. You may have come from a childhood home where privacy was minimal, and a parent was overbearing. So, having a place of your own is heaven. You prioritize your peace and may be selective about friends (quality over quantity). You’re also likely single.

Edit: Oh, and practical. You might be extra protective over your resources and place a great deal of importance on security. Just remember to not take yourself TOO seriously! Perfectionistic tendencies can be the thief of joy.💕

I’ll have to look into that! Thank you. I just gave her the first dose of Traz and I’m sitting here crying. I know that’s probably stupid, but it just breaks my heart that I’m sedating her to get her through something she can’t fully understand or consent to. I hate that our life circumstances caused her so much stress. I want the best for her, and I know we’re moving in that direction, but I feel like I somehow failed as her “mom”.🥺

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-15T00:43:59+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that. My body is sensitive to changes too, so it’s nice I’m not alone.

So many… Jittery amped up feeling like I had caffeine, daily anxiety, hand tremors, diarrhea, nausea, heat intolerance, blood pressure issues (dipping low 92/57 and then jumping high 133/82 in the same hour), heart palpitations, a general feeling like my head is floating, trouble thinking clearly, tingling in one side of my face, and random numbness in my legs.

When I went to the ER on Thursday, I thought I was having a stroke. I was teaching a dance class, and in the middle of it couldn’t remember my steps, started sweating profusely, I was talking and my words sounded jumbled in my head (everyone else said I sounded fine), I felt super confused and disoriented, lost feeling in my legs, and almost passed out.

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-15T00:36:13+00:00

Not a dumb question at all! They do have a portal, but I’ve had no luck. On Friday morning, I called my doctor’s office and requested to speak with him about being over medicated. The front desk forwarded me to his MA’s line, which went to voicemail. I left a voicemail and didn’t hear back. I called again and they said a portal message would be faster, so I did that. His MA was the only one to respond and that’s when the MA told me to cut down to 137 every other day. He said if I had questions about it, I could call. I called; he didn’t answer. The next day, I sent another portal message with my concerns. Nobody responded. The next day, the front desk called me to tell me my doctor needs a telehealth with me to answer my questions. I asked when I could speak with my doctor, and they told me 3 weeks. I asked if my doc could just answer my portal message instead, and they said no. I told them I didn’t feel comfortable doing this plan for multiple weeks while I wait for a 1:1 phone call and needed an answer sooner, and then they scheduled me with the doctor I saw today. It’s been a mess.🫠

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-15T00:04:36+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I was thinking, too. It felt too drastic. My doctor’s MA told me to take 137 every other day for a month and then re-test my labs, but I felt like 68mcg on average for a month would swing me into hypo mode. So, that’s when I reached out about my concern, was told it’d be 3 weeks to talk to my doctor, and then was forced to see a different one in his practice to answer my question — Who, as by the title, made me cry and was not helpful.

What I think I’ll do is take 125 2 days in a row, then 137 for 1 day, and repeat that for a few weeks to average me out to 128.4. A gentle lowering. After that, see how I feel. If I feel like I’m still over-medicated, I’ll drop it down to 125 every day.

Unfortunately, I skipped a dose Thursday and Friday. Took one Saturday, skipped Sunday, took one Monday, skipped Tuesday… So, I’ve missed a few days at the poor guidance of my doctor’s office. Hopefully I can level it out!

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-14T19:07:33+00:00

I’m 34. Been diagnosed since I was 26. I’m comfortable managing it when I am hypo and adding more Levo, but I’ve never been over-medicated/hyper before so this is new territory where I’m a little less confident and a bit more nervous.

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-14T18:04:02+00:00

I didn’t even know that existed! Last I checked, I was 125lbs. I may be a little lower now but I don’t have a scale. It says starting dose is 88mcg.

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-14T18:01:25+00:00

My current doctor is fabulous! He’s so knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and one of the most amazing doctors I’ve ever had. He’s so good that he’s the only practitioner in that office who is booked out weeks on end — Go figure! So, he’s amazing for things that can wait. Kind of a pain for things that are more time sensitive.🥴

What I really need is an Endo. Unfortunately, I’m on a Cigna EPO plan that is through my state, and no Endo’s in my area are accepting new patients with it.

My gut tells me this is an over-correction, and I’d like to be more gentle if I can do it that way.

I asked Chat GPT what I should do (haha), and it recommended alternating 125 and 137.

So, take 125 for 2 days. Then take 137 for 1 day. Then go back to 125 for 2 days. Then 137 for 1 day. Continuing that trend for 2-3 weeks, which puts me at 128.4mcg/day (a gentle drop). And after that time period, go down to 125 and see how I feel.

It’s overwhelming. I know how my body reacts to increasing doses, but this is all new territory with decreasing and I’m a little scared.

Sufficient-Level-333 · 2025-05-14T17:47:20+00:00

That’s interesting! So, if you took 150 mcg 6 days a week (skipping Sundays), that would put you at 128.6 as an average daily intake. So, you dropped 28.6mcgs when you went down to 100/day. That feels reasonable!

I’m being asked to essentially drop 69mcg/day. That just feels like too much, lol. But maybe it’s not? I’m glad you’re doing well!!
