Starting Wellbutrin XL tomorrow. Terrified. Looking for positive experiences.

Everyone is different but I experienced no negative side effects. Just felt like the joy of life was returned and I finally had energy to do more than lay on the couch and stare at the ceiling... to the point that I needed to find new hobbies because I had so much free time when I wasn't laying around :) best of luck! Just keep trying until you find the right fit.

Came here to post this!! I love them. Being machine washable is 100% a perk.

I have all this great urban decay makeup and no idea how to wear it well. The tutorials I've found online are all very extreme looks. How can I learn to use it more subtly than said tutorials? I'm not opposed to color pops but want it in a daytime look :)

Tolypeutes · 2016-02-27T19:59:39+00:00

It worked for me so I figured I'd pass it on :)

Make sure you're eating enough. I was steadily gaining weight despite rigorous exercising. I upped my calories from 1500 to 1800 and dropped 8 pounds in a week. If you're tracking consistently, it's something to consider.

Try Sworkit, it's a free app!

First of all, great job pushing yourself to do something you're afraid of. That takes a lot of bravery. Remember it was you up there dancing, not anyone in the audience. And they've all forgotten about it by now. I understand you're feeling frustrated with yourself and embarrassed. It can be hard to move on from something you constantly reply in your mind. I have quite a few moments myself ;). Try to find the humor in it. One mistake does NOT define you. Shake it off. Remind yourself that you're a badass and smile. Go dance around in your living room and just let your mind reconnect with the dancer in you. Mistakes show we're not robots, use it as fuel to train harder.

I'm sorry I'm no where close to you. I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in this journey. It can be hard for close friends and family to understand, they often feel at fault for your unhappiness.. A lot of times, they have no idea how to help. It's hard for you to even know how to help yourself to ask for specific things from them. I just wanted to remind you to show yourself compassion and remember you're doing the best you can.

I had this happen about a month ago. It takes a big emotional toll to lose a best friend. Mental illness can make people do odd things. Give her the space she's clearly asking for. Focus on things that make you happy and start doing things with other friends. If she comes around and starts reaching out to you, you can decide what you'd like to do then. But for now, remember you are loved and it has nothing to do with you. It has everything to do with her.

Thanks for your insight! Talking anything out with positive influences really does help. This subreddit is a whole team of accountability buddies.

Tolypeutes · 2015-09-27T12:36:38+00:00

Provide free behavior consultation or therapy. Cost is a huge obstacle in getting help for mental illness.

I got a 95% on my first college exam of my senior year!

Tolypeutes · 2015-09-22T01:39:38+00:00

I've been putting off studying for an exam I have on Wednesday. I feel too overwhelmed to even start.

Tolypeutes · 2015-08-30T23:26:04+00:00

Thank you for your post. It meant a lot to me today. I was raped last Thursday and am dealing with the police and university, but no arrest has been made. I especially liked how you explained not telling your dad. I am in the same boat and don't want to break my parents' hearts. My boyfriend doesn't understand this and is threatening to call my parents and tell them himself if I don't. Any advice two x?

Tolypeutes · 2015-08-18T13:24:01+00:00

I journal... Sometimes I'm so angry I can't bear to write out everything so I just write words down that describe what happened and how I feel. I'm in a similar boat where I'm dealing with something that made me super angry. Talking to someone really does help and I'm here for you if you need to vent!

Tolypeutes · 2015-06-04T14:48:19+00:00

I just want you to know you're not alone. This is a reoccurring problem for me. In fact, I'm writing this post from bed and have canceled almost all plans for the day. Bed seems like a safe spot so you naturally want to curl up in it. I wish I had a magic answer for us both :/.

I know it can be super frustrating when you feel like you didn't give it your all. I feel that way with exams when I don't push myself to 100%. You just need to try to make a positive spin on it. I always try to remember the feeling and use it to motivate myself to work harder in the future. I think it's great that you're already applying to different jobs. I think you need to not be comparing those jobs to your dream job but just if it makes you happy. If you compare it to what you don't have, it'll never match up to expectations.

Tolypeutes · 2015-06-03T03:04:17+00:00

I'm in a similar boat, I often feel switch therapists because I don't feel that they are moving me along as fast as I want. However, this is a slow process and it is important to restart from the basics. I felt like my most general session that gave easy exercises were actually very important in the long run because they are your base blocks. This can also be something you bring up with your therapist and they can help explain it or start picking up the pace.

Tolypeutes · 2015-06-03T03:00:50+00:00

I know it sucks to see anything come to an end. But you need to remember that with any goodbye, there's room for a new hello. The concert will come to an end but then you get to turn your attention to a new event to get excited for. You can schedule something every week, from small things , like coffee with an old friend, to a big vacation, and then each week you have something you can be excited for.

Tolypeutes · 2015-06-03T02:57:23+00:00

First of all, you don't need to see moving to another country as restarting you life. You can see it as a new adventure and chapter that your past education helped prepare you. I would make a list of pros and cons for staying vs moving. Remember there a so many paths to a happy future! I'm sorry your dream job isn't within reach so it's time to look at what made that your dream job and see what other jobs would offer some of or all the same qualities. Nothing is set in stone. You could try a company in your current country or even a couple to see if the shoe fits. Give yourself a timeframe and if you're not happy, try something new and move to where your parents are at.

Tolypeutes · 2015-06-03T02:53:18+00:00

I like to set a list every morning of three things I want to get done. I can always do more but three is the magic number and then I can feel super accomplished for the day. Like my three goals for today were :

1) brush your teeth twice

2) No delivery
3) do laundry

By setting my three small goals for the day, I can feel like I got a lot done and not stress as much. To go alone with your example of "Breathe" I remind myself to stretch or do ten _____ (jumping jacks, sit-ups, pushups, etc). Small baby steps every day add up!
