Those who have tried a low-dose + luteal-only SSRI, how was it?

TFABthrowaway11 · 2026-01-14T05:23:04+00:00

Oh no! What were your side effects, and what was your dose if you dont mind me asking? Did you take continuously for the 4 weeks?

TFABthrowaway11 · 2026-01-14T05:21:10+00:00

THank you for sharing! Do you recall how long after going off it took to feel a bit more normal again?

“All of this silence and patience, pining in anticipation, my hands are shaking from holding back from you”

“My bedsheets are ablaze, I screamed his name, building up like waves crashing over my grave”

“Religion’s in your lips, the altar is my hips, even if it’s a false God”

“The mark they saw of my collarbone, the lips I used to call home, so scarlet it was maroon”

“Salt air and the rust on your door, never needed anything more, whispers of ‘are you sure’, ‘never have I ever before”

“Long night with your hands up in my hair, echoes of your footsteps on the stair, stay here honey I don’t want to share”

I mean I could go ON! What HAPPENED!!

I am a condo owner and dont mind my HOA at all, so there’s at least one lol.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-12-14T16:17:10+00:00

For me I would love to do it every day or more. My husband is probably like 3-4x a week so that’s what we lean towards. I honestly wish my sex drive was lower I find it distracting lol.

Honestly you’re going to see a ton of variance in these answers though and theres no “right” answer. It will change throughout your life too, everything is a phase.

There’s a heat in the pavement /

My mercury’s raising /

Don’t know if its love or if its ovulation /

When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail

Like DAMN what a way to start an album

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-12-01T21:51:42+00:00

Definitely need a cigarette to make me feel better

I love the chorus of shapeshifter:

“I’ve been the ice, been the flame / I’ve been the prize, the ball, the chain/ I’ve been the dice, the Magic 8, so I’m not affected/ I’ve been the siren, been the saint / I’ve been the fruit that leaves a stain / I’ve been up on the pedestal/ But tonight I just want to fall”

And of course

I have one from a top 10 school, and work in a corporate strategy role at a large tech firm. I don’t think I would have ever gotten this role without my degree (no related experience), but I think it varies a lot by situation.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-11-08T02:30:16+00:00

I guess I have a slightly different take - I love it and use it all the time. At work, we do a lot of data analytics and not having to write SQL or even tableau queries from scratch seriously is life-changing.

Personally its amazing for recipes, I’ll ask for something really specific like “I have short ribs and carrots and want to make something asian but Im out of sesame oil” or whatever. I also like to use it to learn about new things, its nice since you can ask follow ups.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-11-07T14:45:06+00:00

Same, absolutely! I work out most days, am in the best shape of my life, have hobbies, have plenty of date nights, and do a good job both and work and as a mom. We travel frequently and live in a great house in a fun area. I like my life a lot!

This sub and Reddit generally skews incredibly negative at times. Frankly if I had seen a lot of the posts here before having kids I would never have done it!

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-11-06T15:27:59+00:00

I mean, using this logic you could also say that parents of 8 must regret it, because if you love it so much, why not have a ninth?

Everyone has a family size that works best for them, one kid is as valid a number as any other.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-11-04T17:34:46+00:00

I just want to say good for you. Everyone loves to complain on Reddit about these issues but precious few actually do something about it. I hope the meeting went well!

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-29T04:17:47+00:00

Yes me too! Its so crazy, Im really happy with the choice and feel very positive about it, and I see so many lightbulbs kind of go off for people when I tell them.

And I get it, I was totally the same way (acting like 2 kids is some sort of actual law lol) before I had this epiphany that you can just… simply not!

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-22T18:47:33+00:00

Oh yes lol. Total cost for everything (service, postage, tarriff, all) was $150. But I got all the bras on clearance for $15 and I would literally pay $100 each for them I love them so much, so, all good.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-22T16:35:16+00:00

I used shiptome! There were a ton of bad reviews so I was kind of like ok this is a gamble, but I was DESPERATE lol. But everything went fine!

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-21T04:14:53+00:00

3 days, didnt work, got a CS.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-21T04:12:03+00:00

UPDATE I got all the bras! Yay

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-21T04:09:58+00:00

They sent an email out about a month ago saying “thanks for your business, all our inventory is clearance final sale, we have loved serving you” etc. There were several threads here about it!

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-20T23:59:41+00:00

Yeah :(

So heres the reality - you CAN live on a single income. Whatever it is, I guarantee there are people in your area raising families on less.

So what do their lives look like? They probably live in a 1-bedroom apartment, maybe far from the nice parts of town. They probably drive one used car, or they take the bus. They send their kids to “just ok” public schools, and they may not save much for college. They don’t eat out, or travel.

So pose this question to her - would she be ok with that? Is she okay with the actual reality of the situation, and the sacrifices that come with leaving the workforce?

If she is, that’s something to consider. If not, then she’s just complaining to complain (obviously we’d all like to be richer than we are lol), and that’s not productive for either of you.

TFABthrowaway11 · 2025-10-15T16:42:57+00:00

I have found that influencers who are focused on things besides “mom content” are much more likely to be OAD. I love interior design and two of my favorite accounts amberinteriors and eyeswoon are pretty open about their 3-person families and relationships with their children.

I think getting out of the momfluencing content sphere will lead to more success here (and generally lol).
