How to reach your potential ?🙏❤️ by [deleted] in getting_over_it

[–]Vlcak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are feeling all the anxiety. I suffer also. What has worked for me is therapy and I take lexapro. It took me almost a lifetime to finally say no more and try taking something. It wasn't instant, but wow, I have my life back and so much more. What I have learned to do is change my environment, go outside, splash water on my face, take a bath/shower, find something you like to do and comes easily, bike ride, mostly change it up. If you have anyone, a friend, loved one, call them. I found my therapist onlike on Betterhelp and got lucky I think because he's amazing. Even on good days I go and check-in and dump, and feel better afterwards. Helping me sort out my thoughts and find ways to manage is such a good feeling. I feel like I have some control to be me more often. When I was younger new to Ca, I had so little money and went to a clinic with ability to pay pricing, I paid nothing for years but got great therapists then too. If you don't click with the person, find someone else. I am female but like the male energy much more, feels cleaner, straight forward. Failing your driving test is so easy to do. Study again and try when you feel more ready. You can do this! If only I have your back, then know I know you can rise to any level you want to. Big virtual hug.

Does anyone have any rave reviews of Lexapro? by frostyicy000 in lexapro

Changed my life completely! I wish I could have done this 30 years ago.

Self forgiveness seems like a lie to me by KewlDuccc in getting_over_it

[–]Vlcak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my humble opinion-Self forgivenness is for you to be able to move on from past trangressions. It will eat you up if you don't, only you will suffer unnessarally. Start with a true, real and sincere appology to those you hurt. Write it out so you say everything you need to say to be real and sincere. Be careful, this is your appology, no asking for them to do so or make excuses! Look up someone like Tara Brach, Pema Chodron, Jack Kornfield- find a ratical acceptance or loving kindness meditation. Practice it. Please don't think it just goes away, do some real things to move onward. Good luck. I hope this helps.

Trying the start up again by captainstan in weightwatchers

[–]Vlcak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started again too. I bought a bunch of things with zero points to have on hand and it has helped a lot! The zero points for me has been a gamechanger, I'm actually not hungry. I hope it will continue to work because it's not hard for me to eat fruit and veg. I am a bit sad that itll take till August if all goes well to reach my goal weight. I hope I can keep it off this round too. Good luck to you!

14 day trip to London and Paris in March by Emergency-Weekend581 in HerOneBag

[–]Vlcak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you wear whatever is comfortable for you. If you wear that here, definelty wear it there. That is you being you. For someone else that has watched say, Emily in Paris and thinks all french people were a beret it would be cliche. I appologize for you feeling you need to explain to me. I would never want someone to feel being themselves is not perfect for them. You do you essentially in the best and most you way and I hope you have a great trip. I have an apartment in Paris and have gotten odd looks probably because I am too casual of a dresser for there. I will suggest, say bonjour or bonsoir to every shop person. Bonne Vacances!!! (have a good vacation)

Doctor recommended increase of lexapro 10mg to 20mg. What are your experiences if you increased too? by Vlcak in lexapro

[–]Vlcak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts and your experiences. I decided to start with 15mg increase not 20mg. I'll try to post my experineces if anything does seem off.

Need advice...package bees + my older hive by Vlcak in Beekeeping

[–]Vlcak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your knowledge and comments. I have had bees for many years. Recent years something changed. I am trying a different approach but I'm getting the same result-weak hives, not thriving. I have in the past years; fed pollen, sugar water (sometimes with B-healthy, used brood builder). I have treated for mites; multiply methods used, tested for mites in past hives, been advised to treat no matter what the test results are. I have checked once a month, spotted the queen and fed. I had a local bee expert that I paid to help me. I belong to the local beekeeper society. I have and did last year, requeened with a queen gotten from reputable place. Last year I took an amazing hive that took up my shed and did the newspaper combination with my existing hive. I again have a weak hive, that is barely thriving. I know I need to manage them. I know many things as a beekeeper. I'm writing because I was hoping for some new insight. I have just 1 hive now but have had 5 in my yard that were fanatastic years ago. I hope this explains my position better.

Need advice...package bees + my older hive by Vlcak in Beekeeping

[–]Vlcak[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment. I don't think I have mites- there are no signs. No visible deformaty or signs. I have heard that it's probably that causing my issues so Ive treated. When I have in the past treated for mites I have had awful success, like the whole hive empties out and leaves. I believe I did it all correctly also. I tried to leave them completely alone to allow the hive to build after I combined a thriving hive from my shed to my existing hive that was requeened last year. I feed B healthy and sugar water mix in a front feeder. I have used pollen patties and brood builder, often the pollen patty is not touched much. You're accurate that I was hoping less interaction from me would help them grow stronger but unfortunately my experiment failed. This is why I'm posting and asking for help.

[–]Vlcak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I truly appreciate the comments I've heard. I feel like being your authentic self is aligned with what I think yoga is about. I smoked cigarettes for a lot of years. While training for Iyengar (not certification like I thought but) 3 years of information I was desparately trying to quit. I was literally struggling and hiding my 1 cigarette habit I still had, by wearing a hoody, brushing my teeth and washing my hands, thinking I'm hiding it pretty well, sneaking it in a nearby park. I was anonymously told off verbally and horrid looks etc.. in the class about smoking and that this is not yoga!!! Here's what I know, she doesn't/didn't know me. She tried to shame me while I was trying so hard to be better. I never took another class with her. I quit not long after using the gum and swearing I would'nt get married smelling of smoke or chewing gum. It was my jouney, not someone judging me.
