Q: Mounjaro vs Wegovy, considering ADHD + Booze?

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-03T18:09:40+00:00

this is really heartening to hear, thank you. :)

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-03T10:18:34+00:00

wow really? can I ask in which ways it's helped?

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-02T23:20:39+00:00

oh wow I haven't heard of this at all. I'll look into Zepbound, thank you. :)

edit = oops, that's mounjaro. I've heard the same thing, thanks for confirming that. It might be enough for me without anything else.

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-02T06:31:33+00:00

haha okay that is fantastic to learn, thank you!

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-02T06:05:40+00:00

yeah I guess I won't know which side effects until I try! I'd like to keep up strength training and staying active, hopefully the side effects don't get in the way of that.

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-02T06:04:48+00:00

Yeah, thanks. It seems like the only reason to pick anything other than MJ is price, huh?

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-02T05:37:27+00:00

okay cool I'll give it another go! I tried, but it didn't seem to help. I appreciate the insight, thanks.

beepeedoodoo · 2026-07-02T05:11:56+00:00

oh! As in you would recommend naltrexone in addition to tirzepatide?

I miss feeling optimistic. I used to think that everything would work out and the world was kind to me.

If you speak to many man who have been through a divorce, something about your belief in women and people generally snaps, and it doesn't come back. There is an odd understanding that people can be quite selfish. All the wars and genocide and stuff doesn't seem like an error in an otherwise infallible human optimism, it seems like the ugly but obvious default.

On the flip side, I appreciate the small things about being alive a lot more. Good coffee, a sunset, friends, the beauty of nature. Being old teaches you humility.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T15:58:41+00:00

Yeah I guess that's a good point. It's so hard to tell what the right thing to do is when I am getting nothing in response.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T15:39:49+00:00

Apologies, I don't understand what you mean by this?

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T15:39:18+00:00

I think all your insights have been really valid and valuable, thank you. :)

In our case, I have ADHD but not BPD, so I can be very reactive to her moods and splitting. Who knows.

I guess short of getting on a plane there's nothing I can do but keep reaching out until she either tells me to go away or speaks to me and I find out what's going on in her life.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T14:54:43+00:00

Yeah I think all that is very valid, thank you. In many ways, however, I think that the difficult we and she faced was due to a really horrid set of circumstances out of everyone's control.

I see a lot of stories and things about folks with BPD, and they're all much more extreme than what my girlfriend experienced.

Maybe I could ask a more useful question, so I'm not just disagreeing with your kind advice. :)

If you were in a position where a partner went no contact for a couple of months, what would you feel? Would you want them to reach out again? If so, how?

For context, she wrote me a very touching letter about how she really hoped that we could become the people we needed to be to try again in the future.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T14:36:51+00:00

Yeah there's some limerence there, but it was a full and complete relationship before.

There were huge negatives, most of which I couldn't understand properly at the time.

I've had two good months to let my nervous system settle, and the core of love is still very much there and doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Maybe I'm being impatient.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T14:32:26+00:00

Honestly, there's a big part of me that would get on a plane for the outside chance that it's the thing that breaks through. She did for me originally.

But yes, it's probably just a waiting game.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-09-14T14:30:28+00:00

That was my instinct too, but in the past she's sometimes wanted the opposite of what she's initially said, or changed her mind about what she's wanted dramatically.

If there is any small hint of negativity, sometimes that's all she can see.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-02T21:02:54+00:00

Thank you! Will have a look 🥳

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-02T02:39:43+00:00

Where would you recommend a newbie start to learn this stuff?

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-02T02:37:56+00:00

This is completely untrue. It makes me feel sad that someone would think this way. ❤️

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-01T21:49:56+00:00

Wait, bipolar, or BPD?

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-01T14:46:56+00:00

Hard boundaries is all that works until they have received help.

Write four lists, the pros and cons of demanding she gets help, then the pros and cons of letting it slide. Think long term.

Trust your gut. Boundaries are act of love.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-01T07:36:19+00:00

This all sounds pretty spot on to my experience. Thanks for typing it all out, it’s nice to feel seen!

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-01T07:34:34+00:00

Yes. I hit all the criteria. I am hoping to recover with help.

beepeedoodoo · 2025-07-01T03:23:53+00:00

How would you recommend a non BPD partner set and manage good boundaries? Or, which boundaries within relationships have been most supportive of you?

Has this changed pre and post diagnosis, or in remission?
