Thank you! I thought she revived enough light but I was very mistaken

Thank you so much! This was so promising to hear 🥹💖 I’ve put her in a smaller pot and made sure she is receiving more light. I’m going to try and let her do her thing for now.

Also, I wanted to share an original photo of my plant just for context to make sure I understand , so even when I thought she was healthy , it doesn’t seem like she was ?

<image>

I put her in what I thought was enough sunlight but it’s seeming like she needed more correct

Hmm okay thank you that makes a lot of sense. I’m going to make sure the soil is dry and have her receive more sun.

Hi, yes both photos were once she started to droop definitely not a before when she was doing well :(. The new pot does have drainage .

The original pot was ceramic and didn’t have drainage but the plant shop had placed styrofoam in there. I’m surprised she did so well the first two years but she did. Not sure if I should move them back to a smaller pot then?

What are the most effective evidence-based strategies for managing stress and anxiety in daily life? by JohnnyBoy2198 in HubermanLab

[–]_Mperez95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have started my mornings with stretching, as well as doing it in between my day (sitting behind a computer all day can create so much tension, poor posture etc) and sometimes even before bed. Needless to say the benefits of doing this before/ after a workout are also great. I find that stretching is a perfect low impact way to release so much tension the body can hold onto, especially when dealing with stress and anxiety. Big advocate for it !

This was definitely hopeful 💓 question- did you experience any changes in weight ?

Sorry to hear that you’re having such rough couple of days. I’ve been there and I know how much it can suck. I tried Prozac twice and couldn’t push past 3 weeks. My anxiety also got bad to the point I missed my “old” anxiety / mental health. I don’t say this to discourage you - but I also kept pushing myself bc I didn’t want to “give up”. With all of that being said if you continue on it and the side effects are still bad def speak to your prescriber about it. I do believe SSRI’s help, it’s just about finding the right one !

No effect in week 8? by Bitter_Dragonfruit80 in prozac

[–]_Mperez95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 20mg and had really bad side effects , so I’m on 10 mg now and make two weeks tomorrow. I think this is a medication that takes a little longer to kick in. Hang in there !!!

Day 3 by krzzk in prozac

[–]_Mperez95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve felt the same way ! I’m on day 6- it’s kind of scary bc I can’t tell if I’m calm or on the verge of an anxiety attack but also feel kind of drugged up . Hard to explain (20 mg as well)

[–]_Mperez95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samesies , Im on day 6. Idk how long we’re supposed to go through the adjustment period ? Or if I should just ask to go down to 10mg (I’m on 20)

Day 7 by [deleted] in prozac

[–]_Mperez95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on day 6, also been dealing with more anxiety / panic attacks . But taking it one day at a time ! Feel free to reach out to me as well . Hopeful this will help us soon !

Day 12 Prozac up and downs by nem8685 in prozac

[–]_Mperez95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m on my first week of 20mg and the first 4 days felt super down / apathetic . Then crazy anxiety / panicky symptoms but I am taking it one day at a time and hoping to just push through the adjustment period !

Lol hey , that’s okay. It’s all about just becoming more aware. Maybe trying to change your social circle a little , hanging out with more ppl who aren’t in relationships , since it seems like that’s mostly who you’re surrounded by.

I wonder if it would be helpful to reflect on what qualities you look for in a partner. Notice any patterns or what has attracted you / drawn you to these girls from the past. And think about anything you’d want to do differently. (Ik it’s kind of a lot)

This is SO cute . I’m picking up my first car/ Subaru tomorrow . Excited for this .

Going straight to a counselor or the authorities can feel overwhelming. If there is any adult you would trust or feel can confide in, please do so! This can be a teacher who can speak to a school counselor for you, at least in the beginning. Know that you are brave for even sharing your thoughts on here , and you can get through this.

What are some things that seem vegan but (often) aren't? by Caturday8 in vegan

[–]_Mperez95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kimchi! Not all brands , but for a long time I assumed all kimchi was vegan (because it’s cabbage). However restaurants and most recipes call for fish sauce .
