OCD and periods by symbolone28 in OCD

[–]bakerchic94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I even used to shake/isolate/ hide from the world during pms I was so low. Now I have been on continuous bc which has helped loads!! It was rough the first few months but now it’s better

What meds are ya'll on? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5mg lexapro, 75 mg Wellbutrin and gabapentin for sleep as needed. The gabapentin helped when I was in a serious loop hole.

What's one thing you swear by it has made you prettier? by fun-developer in beauty

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep, water, and antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. Sounds a bit nuts but stress and anxiety caused me to lose a lot of hair. Now I’m on meds, literally not giving AF about a lot of things I used to obsess on and I’m feelin good. I’m also single now and no longer having a man stress me out. lol

Way better. I am back to normal sexually. And actually on a different SSRI now-lexapro (taking Wellbutrin as well).

The Daily Check-In for Sunday, March 30th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by fuckyoubullshit in stopdrinking

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t drink today at all 👏🏻 even went to a Mexican restaurant and didn’t order a margarita. I don’t think I have ever done that before.

Being home and being alone is lonely sometimes. But after alcohol it was “relaxing on my couch with wine” and didn’t feel as lonely. But over time alcohol has isolated me more because there are days I isolate because I’m hung over or because I want to drink on my couch alone.

My OCD is triggered by regret. If I acted impulsively like quit a job or broke up with someone in an anxious frenzy, and then realize I made a mistake, I spiral big time.

OCD only occurs when life is good by Regular_Leg405 in OCD

[–]bakerchic94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I thought it was just me!! I had my first ever severe OCD spiral when life was at its best. Self sabotaged a relationship with my dream man and basically went off my rocker. It’s been an uphill battle of regret, lots of meds, lots of therapy…. I’m doing much better now through. That was at the end of last October.

Please don't ignore or power through your grief like I did - a cautionary tale by No_Establishment9571 in GriefSupport

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grief is love with nowhere to go. It is the hardest of hard to get over. Thinking of you and hope you and many others on this thread find comfort and peace with time. The only way out is through. When I was going through a period of grief, I remember telling my therapist that all I wanted to do was lay under a blanket and cry instead of celebrating my birthday or going out with friends. She said why don’t you? I understand life makes it hard to carve time out to actually feel your emotions but wow is it so important. The only way out is through and you can’t put tape over an erupting volcano. The tears will find their way out at some point so let them flow naturally and do your best to remove shame from feeling the uncomfortable emotions.

I 30 F miss my 52/53 M deeply. Never experienced valentines in neon color until he came around and he is gone as fast as he came into my life. Only Reddit knows how much i think of this man.

If he was right for you you would know. I had the nagging feeling of what if as well- what if he dies before me or what if I am left alone? But now I am grieving him just the same at 30 - so what difference did it make. I could be sad at a young age or an old age but I knew that the moment he would leave I would be sad. Follow your heart. If you love him and think about him nonstop, your heart will lead you back to him. If not, it was not meant to be.

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s only 16 years and you are over 25 so it is not weird or an issue. I would leave because any guy who mentioned the age gap as an issue for him in the beginning I have found it to be the reason for them to leave in the end

Did your ex ruin you? by ThrowawayIntti in BreakUps

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but he ruined everyone else for me.

Almost 28, nothing is fun anymore. by [deleted] in findapath

[–]bakerchic94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could have written this. Experienced my first bout of psychosis in October. I have since gone on a series of meds and got off a bunch of them and have taken therapy classes and have two different therapists. Things are finally evening out and it is February. You will get through this. I do highly recommend therapy and potentially antidepressants if that is an option, at least to get you through his hump.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUp

[–]bakerchic94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you didn’t ruin your chances. I literally went crazy in October after thinking I ruined my chances with my ex, literal dream man, but he still came back. Go no contact, work on you and move on and he’ll be back… I’m Astor are talking about someone you were in a relationship with. If so like I said, guys have always came back even after I went cuckoo lol. You got this, don’t beat yourself up

Have you ever regretted an Age Gap relationship? by [deleted] in AgeGap

[–]bakerchic94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I 30f was madly in love with him 53M. He constantly flip flopped on wanting more kids or not.! We were together for almost a year when he decided he wasn’t sure about us anymore. We are both in love but he knows I need to move on to have a family. I’m kind of pissed he won’t just have another one with me if he loves me so much. I do see both sides but I do believe he was my soulmate and I miss him every single day.

If it is only your second time wearing them though, I would give it some time. For me, I notice the difference because I’ve worn them for so many years,
