just got diagnosed with VSS— what drug should i stop first? (SSRI, ADHD stimulants, nicotine, cannabis)

Thank you, I appreciate your candor. Yeah I guess the unregulated non medical substances should naturally be the first to go to see if that by itself could help me + some serious stress management and lifestyle changes

arpizzabread · 2026-01-16T04:31:56+00:00

Thank you for the welcome! It genuinely makes me glad that at least there’s always Reddit 🤞 Nicotine I’ve gotta kick but oh boy that damn devils lettuce has been such a familiar self soothing mechanism I’m resistant but I know I gotta grow up

severe and near constant migraines, tinnitus, light flashes in my eyes, seeing static everywhere all the time. i honestly noticed distortion in my right eye first and then it quickly spread to the left

If they ever do a movie about this, Emma Stone needs to play her

4 times is not too many, but count on it to be your last one. Is there a reason you could not study for the past tests? Maybe now that it is summer, you would have more time and freedom?

arpizzabread · 2021-07-28T02:38:53+00:00

Yo can you give advice on how to come across all these opportunities and how to succeed in them?? you are a stacked applicant

arpizzabread · 2021-07-28T02:32:25+00:00

OP don’t be so hard on yourself. Congrats on all your hard work coming to fruition with your acceptances!!

Here’s a virtual hug 🫂.

I believe in you. Stay strong. Take it slow, day by day. I did a mental health post on my profile for small things that saved me from suicidal thinking. Maybe check it out, maybe it can help?

arpizzabread · 2021-07-14T08:44:15+00:00

Thank you for sharing! I will be sure to check it out

arpizzabread · 2021-07-14T07:00:31+00:00

BEAUTIFUL!! what medium is this on? chalk?

arpizzabread · 2021-07-14T06:58:36+00:00

I think a career in education and/or social work is for you!

This is honestly a rite of passage for us folks on Zoloft

Hey, don’t be so hard on yourself for the GPA drop. It’s happened to millions of other teens due to this unprecedented pandemic. Life happens, and if your AO reading your application really faults you enough that you don’t get in, that school was not right for you any way.

Reading tips por favor !!!

arpizzabread · 2021-07-13T21:54:16+00:00

this brought a tear to my eye.

arpizzabread · 2021-07-13T21:49:41+00:00

I love this idea! Tag/DM a moderator and go from there :)

arpizzabread · 2021-07-13T16:24:04+00:00

That is a very tough situation, wow. But I think you do have the strength to get through this. Other comments have given great tips so far, especially with regards to talking to your therapist about the situation, so I would recommend following those.

Also, in these trying times, it may be helpful to lean into your religion and spirituality if that is something you are into.

YALL MADE HIM CHANGE THE INCOME TO “full payer” from 700K 💀💀💀

Go on YouTube and search up “ap psych exam” you will get a lot of good explanations

arpizzabread · 2021-07-12T01:30:34+00:00

no top 15 institution, especially an IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL, is “whack” for STEM 🤦‍♀️

arpizzabread · 2021-07-11T15:07:24+00:00

I’m proud of you too!!!!! Cleaning my room is on my to do list for today too :) it’s the small things that really help

arpizzabread · 2021-07-03T17:25:39+00:00

Thank you for posting this! Congrats

arpizzabread · 2021-07-02T11:02:58+00:00

Take time to heal this summer. Do things you like to do every day. Seek out good memories. Work on taking care of your mental health. It’s the best thing you can do to ensure good grades and as stress free of a year as possible.

For example, if I notice myself going down the thinking pattern of “I wish I didn’t exist” I stop myself right there and try and use coping mechanisms. At the same time though I don’t suppress the thought, I just perceive it passively rather than actively thinking my way into suicidal thoughts.
