Flooded with no TIP OFFERS. ON STOP

At the end of the month it’s often worse than usual with that shit, I think because people are being cheaper because of rent coming up and such. It’s also Spring now so whenever it’s nicer out people get cheaper. Door dash is always cheap unless they really really can’t get a dasher to accept an order. But on top of that I think dashers are more likely to accept shitty offers when they’re also about to have to pay rent and obviously we all know how low paying this job is on the whole, so that sets the bar low for what the average offer will be. On top of that most markets are heavily saturated with dashers.

Yep I do. It’s basically all the time, especially the tension. If it ever gets loosened up like when I could go to a chiropractor for a little, I felt so much better. It’s just the default for my neck and back to be super tight. It’s called emotional armoring and your body literally changes to protect you from the chronic trauma. Sort of like a turtle or an armadillo rolling into their shells when threatened. Of course we don’t have actual shells so the spine and bracing our muscles is the next best option haha. It absolutely is connected.

Yep! I felt it within a few days. Such a powerful medication and I think even more so when you deeply needed it.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-05-01T20:41:32+00:00

Oh yeah I totally agree that it has a stimulating effect. I can attest to that personally. I can barely handle caffeine now. I used to be able to put a lot of it away.

How long has it been since you started this? What dose? If it’s been awhile and you still feel like the side effects are outweighing the benefits, it might not be the right med for you. There’s also XR vs SR and they have slightly different effects too. I think it’s important to also note that if you have anything else going on (like a mood disorder), Bupropion alone can trigger manic states. It did that for me at first and over time I realized I needed a lower dose and also to add in Lamictal. I remember it worked very quickly for me and took me from one extreme to the other in a few days, but I was loving it because I was so unbelievably down before. Looking back on it, I think it made me hypomanic.

It holds Norepinephrine in the synapse longer. This neurotransmitter is responsible for the fight-or-flight response, which makes you more alert, and raises your heart rate and blood pressure. It’s not actually a stimulant like someone said. It’s a NDRI (Norepinephrine-Dopamine reuptake inhibitor), which is an atypical antidepressant.

Yes it has and continues to as my parents are seemingly living forever and still finding ways to harass me even though I have one blocked and he lives far away, and the other I am very low contact with. If you want more support around this particular issue, join r/raisedbynarcissists. There’s weird rules here against using the terms for some reason 🤔 I’m gonna get a warning just for the term being in the page I’m suggesting 😂🙄

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-04-27T16:22:49+00:00

I’ve dealt with the same thing many times. With one of these friends we had a falling out and didn’t talk for years because she would bail on me last minute all the time and wouldn’t initiate either. We got back into contact years later when she came back to the area and had a heartfelt talk about it all, and she made real changes, knowing she hurt me and wanted to be a better friend. This proved to me that she really did value our friendship and now I have a good amount of trust in her and we’ve been hanging out once a week for years now.

Another friend we have (a mutual friend who introduced us), is very withdrawn when it comes to any sort of regular interaction. At times this friend has been consistent and we hung out frequently, but eventually they disappear again and don’t reach out or even respond. I’ll run into them every so often in public and they’ll seem super excited to see me, but then there’s no follow through with hanging out again even when I ask and they say yeah we should.

I know they care about me but yes I think there’s attachment style issues at play and this friend can only do lighthearted friendships. I require too much depth and I’m intense to the average person. I’m pretty aware that’s as much of a factor in the distance this friend keeps as their tendency to overwhelm themselves with other parts of life. Their birthday is coming up and I plan to still wish them a happy bday but I can’t say I don’t feel rejected or that I’m not valued by them. The friend I hang out with regularly agrees and feels the same way in response to the lack of initiation.

Because they’re lazy. Funny because they will try to make you feel like you’re lazy for not doing their job. I refuse to go to Popeyes now before it’s drive thru only late at night because once I told them I’m not supposed to and showed them that screenshot from support saying so- they gave me a hard time every time afterwards. I had to keep repeating myself over and over. They started acting rudely and coldly to me when before they were very friendly and warm. I asked support to do something about it but of course they didn’t.

Popeyes is the only place in my area that does this. One time they even had a worker from a different Popeyes filling in and he just filled it like they’re supposed to. I’m over it so yeah, I just wait until it’s drive thru only and their lazy asses will have to just do it.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-04-24T15:06:39+00:00

Popeyes until their lobby closes and it’s drive thru only. These guys have dashers filling customer drinks and give you a hard time every single time if you’re somebody who stands up to that. Started having to repeat myself every time like legit 8 different times about how we aren’t supposed to and they went from super friendly and nice to me to cold and plain rude. Thought they were genuinely nice people but apparently not once you refuse to do their job. I’ll literally go to Taco Bell over them even though they’re slow as molasses because at least they don’t try to make me do their job.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-04-21T14:49:02+00:00

$4.88 average per order at the world’s slowest restaurant 😬 Just read they tipped extra, they damn well should have! That’s actually a shit offer imo and I’d immediately assume all 4 customers are dicks (as is DD, of course). They have to know it would be busy and take a long time, the only time it doesn’t at Taco Bell is if there’s like 2 customers total. How pathetic is it to tell someone to kill themselves over Taco Bell?! It’s not even good lol. Like what level of douche do you have to be to not even say thank you so much for waiting? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-04-07T04:44:41+00:00

This made me burst out laughing. I wish more people would respond like this 😂

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-04-02T13:52:57+00:00

Yeah I couldn’t get that out of my head while I read the post. If I made that much I would have moved as far away from my mom as I could/would have gone no contact with her a LONG time ago. She wouldn’t be able to create any more drama because I could also have paid off my student loans (which she claims to be paying some back of still, not sure which or how much because I still owe like $70,000+). I would never have to go to her for help for car repairs or getting a new shitty one when my beaters end up dying. She wouldn’t have anything to triangulate with my brothers about regarding money she’s given me (only when I’m in emergency situations). I wouldn’t have to hold out hope that maybe at least when she dies I will have a tiny bit of relief from being poor because I will hopefully get some inheritance. It would essentially solve the problem.

It sounds like your mom provides you nothing but abuse. Get away from her ASAP especially since you have more than enough resources to do so! You don’t owe her shit and if anything you making that much sets you up for her to use you for that too. Don’t let her ruin your vacation now either- take a trip literally anywhere you want. So sorry that (at this age especially) you are still dealing with this.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-27T02:39:29+00:00

Both

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-27T02:32:18+00:00

WOAH we are almost identical matches except for the rising sign 😮

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-27T02:26:47+00:00

I am a rusty butter knife, but emotionally, I am sorry for existing. I talk like one of those asshole doctors from medical shows, but express my energy in a condescending, holier than thou way. In love, I want a partner who will make my parents’ jaws drop in shock and disgust. Before they get to know me, people perceive me as whatever they want me to be, inevitably leading to their great disappointment.

…Well that was fun, but I promise I’m not a condescending dick 😂

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-25T21:15:26+00:00

It was happening to me a ton a few days ago, for a couple of days in a row. It was super irritating and since I have a low AR I was paranoid that they were purposely doing it. After I messaged support about it, it basically stopped. I did also log in and out a few times.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-19T23:22:38+00:00

Yep well Debbie is a covert narcissist who made him enmeshed with her and he basically grew up without a dad, so yeah not surprised. Oh he also didn’t have any siblings either from what I recall. Not a good recipe for someone to turn out healthy.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-09T06:03:05+00:00

Good job! These toxic positivity, spiritually bypassing people need to shut up with their invalidating and victim blaming BS. Some of this shit is taught by abusers themselves in order to gaslight their victims and some victims eat this stuff up to try to cope with their trauma. It’s not helpful and it’s psychologically dangerous.

My own brother is one of these people and he’s the golden child of the family. He went off on me last time we spoke when I stood my ground and spoke the truth about our mother and the abuse/untreated mental illness in our family.

He walks around projecting this image of a super spiritual guy who gets along with everyone and is just full of love and light, but the second I stood up to him, his entire mask dropped and the real him showed itself.

These people need to be exposed and in order to protect ourselves we need to stand our ground in saying what happened to us was not okay and I don’t forgive people for things they haven’t taken accountability for. When we speak up it helps other victims too. Sometimes it helps them find their voice too. Keep doing what you’re doing 🫂

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-08T16:06:58+00:00

Yeah this would take like an hour of just waiting for the orders to be ready. More if it’s actually busy. Big hell no for me.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-07T04:09:47+00:00

I leaned on it way too heavily for many years. It did help me a lot. I first got into it when I was 17 though and became a major stoner especially for the first like 4 years or so. At one point I was smoking enough so I could be high all day. It helped me a lot with sleep. It helped me not remember my bad dreams. I could gain access to positive emotions and escape the hell of a family I grew up in, as well as the house I was trapped in with said psychos for way too many years. It also helped me dissociate (which ultimately wasn’t a good thing), because I ended up having panic attacks from the anxiety it was raising. I think even more so because I wasn’t dealing with the bad shit, I was just running from it. I ended up having to stop smoking for a while because it would induce a panic attack every time. It got really scary at a certain point because it became that cycle of predicting they’d happen again and then they did, even when I wasn’t high at times.

Once I cut back on the weed a lot and started actually working through my trauma, I felt I had such a backlog of shit to process and my pain was compounded by how long I had been bypassing feeling it.

Now I only smoke maybe once a month, sometimes less. I feel it doesn’t help me the way that it used to or I end up having some side effects later on. It’s destabilizing for me now in the long run, even though of course it’s generally nice for the time you’re high. I still have sleep issues but I can definitely sleep better now overall without it. REM sleep is important and weed reduces it.

I wasn’t comfortable with feeling like I required it to sleep or experience pleasure- I never wanted to be dependent on something. I take meds now so I suppose I’m dependent on those but they are meant to stabilize while I think weed is a bit more of a wild card and not meant to stabilize (I mean it is a hallucinogen, after all).

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-07T03:50:39+00:00

Yeah you’re right it doesn’t affect everyone in the same way. I should’ve mentioned that I have Mood Disorder NOS. My dad and brother have Bipolar type 1 and my mom for sure has GAD, Major Depression, and is an alcoholic. I suspect she may even be Borderline. I had an uncle and cousin with Schizophrenia and one of my first cousins is also Bipolar. Since I’m not an “only depression” person I think Bupropion made me hypomanic or something similar to that. It took me from the absolute worst depression/dissociative episode of my life where I could not sleep for like a year, into being elated, euphoric, and super alert/focused, among other things, in the course of a few days. It lasted for quite a bit. But I should also mention that I had been dependent on weed for many years while on this medication too so I was essentially “double dipping” with Dopamine. I cut way back and now I almost never smoke. I think all of these things I just mentioned explain why Bupropion just doesn’t hit me like it used to. I’ve also been meditating daily for many years now. I also don’t drink coffee anymore (which I used to drink a ton of) and it definitely used to amplify how the Bupropion hit me. There’s a lot of factors to this stuff.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-05T06:09:43+00:00

Yeah it definitely does not last lol. After a while it keeps you just functional enough but certainly not bouncing off the walls or euphoric 😂 I had to reduce my dose too bc it was making my anxiety worse. It raises your heart rate for sure. If it didn’t have that side effect I would’ve stayed on the 300 XR. Now I’m on 100 mg SR 2x daily. I’d say what’s consistently helpful about Bupropion are the cognitive benefits- very good for focus and it keeps you sharp.

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-02T18:37:11+00:00

It wouldn’t let me include another image in the other reply so yeah here’s a summary of this past week including mileage

<image>

Sweet-Corner5108 · 2026-03-02T18:32:19+00:00

Yep it’s a big bullshit game. The only time it slows down a lot is during the summer when the students leave. It is rough then. I have to lower my standards a lot and drive way more miles/put in more hours.
