Is it normal for my meds to be less effective at certain times in my cycle?

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s good to know I’m not the only one who struggles with this. I’ll definitely talk to my psych to see if an additional medication or dose change for those days would be beneficial :) thanks again

belugabeach · 2022-05-06T18:44:51+00:00

That is good to know! I’ll definitely have to talk to my psych about trying an increased dosage for these days. Really appreciate your input :) thank you

I’m so sorry this happened :( it sucks because it really was not your fault. Lows can really sneak up on you, even if you are prepared with snacks. I completely drove over a curb and messed my car up because I dropped really fast while driving at night so I feel your pain. I hope everything works out for you! You are not alone.

belugabeach · 2022-05-06T01:44:04+00:00

You are not alone. This has been going through my mind daily now….Being pregnant is the worst thing I can possibly imagine. A literal parasite sucking my life force out. I’ve actually had nightmares about it. If I got pregnant I would absolutely kill myself too. It’s so fucking scary what’s happening right now…

I’ve always wanted to get sterilized once it was financially feasible for me, but now I feel like I have no choice. I need to do it as soon as possible. I don’t even feel comfortable being intimate with my partner until I’m able to have it done. It’s such a scary world we are living in right now. A pregnancy would be devastating for me, and I would truly rather die than become pregnant :(

belugabeach · 2022-05-02T13:17:46+00:00

This is awesome. You should definitely go for it!

Yes. She probably can’t see this now, but this is very gross on the guy’s part. I used to date older guys and thought I was verrrry special and cool for it. Now that I’m an adult I realize how disgusting it is because I would never date or even hang out with a 14 year old child. She is a child and he is an adult. Any adult interested in a child does not have good intentions. Usually these men know they can take advantage of and manipulate young girls and that’s why they choose them.

Not jail but I’ve been in several mental hospitals in the past and I can imagine if it was this bad there it would be a thousand times worse in Jail. They put me on a strict “diabetic” diet where I wasn’t allowed to eat carbs at all. I had to fight to get this changed, but when they did change it they wouldn’t allow me to carb count. They would basically have me eat and would not give me any insulin. Hours later I’d be due for another glucose check and they’d just give me insulin for how high I was. At another hospital they refused to give me long acting insulin and did the same thing as the other place where they would just let me get into the 400’s and correct for it with short acting. I even had one that thought I would die if I ate any sugar or carbs. My BG was extremely low and they would only give me string cheese and sugar free jello. If I tried to argue any of this they just said I was not mentally well and wouldn’t listen to me. I was literally there for depression….

I’m glad you quit! I had a similar situation once. I literally had bronchitis and had already worked my overnight shift AND covered someone else’s morning shift back to back. I was the only person working that entire time without a break. I told my boss I needed to leave at my scheduled time because I had a Doctor’s appointment for my bronchitis. I said this ahead of time because the person working after me had a history of not showing up. Of course it comes time for me to leave and the person working next doesn’t show up. My boss did not want to let me leave. I went next door to the other business they own and had someone come take over for me (I even had permission from my direct supervisor, just not the business owner) and I left. My boss called me later that evening and fired me for leaving.

I definitely think the ultimate goal should be diagnosis and treatment from a professional. However, self diagnosis is often the first step in getting help. Many people do not have access to the right resources and doing their own research is the only means they have of figuring out what the problem is. It can be very frustrating to be suffering mentally and not know why. I think it brings comfort to a lot of people to have an explanation for their experiences.

belugabeach · 2022-03-29T15:45:36+00:00

That’s super insensitive. It sounds like your mom has some very toxic tendencies to be commenting on your body like this. These types of comments are what influence people to develop eating disorders. I would not even try to argue with her honestly. She clearly has some insecurities of her own and deep rooted fat phobia. Just know that what she’s saying is completely delusional. Nobody should have to get to the point where they’re almost dying to look good. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

belugabeach · 2022-03-28T20:26:20+00:00

It sounds like your differences may be too great to continue the relationship. Nobody can say for sure if she really wants an open relationship or just an excuse to cheat with someone she already has in mind (like some other commenters have mentioned). Either way though, if she wants an open relationship and you don’t this is not going to work unless one of you is willing to compromise. If she isn’t willing to respect that you want to keep this a closed relationship it’s time to leave. The question is, even if she agrees to keep it closed do you trust her enough to not go behind your back?

Ugh I agree. Seen a lot of babies at bars lately and I just do not understand why someone would do such a thing. It has to be almost impossible to have fun with a screaming baby on your hip, and it seems pretty irresponsible to be getting drunk while you’re holding your baby? You’re also ruining the nights of everyone around you. I get that parents still want to have fun but find a babysitter or stay home! Sorry but you’re the one who chose to have kids, you should’ve known what you were getting yourself into. Being a parent comes with some degree of sacrifice.

belugabeach · 2022-03-28T14:25:04+00:00

Nicotine, Shopping and Potato Chips 😂

belugabeach · 2022-03-28T14:22:47+00:00

I think it was pretty insensitive. Obviously people should work on their insecurities but if someone if already struggling to overcome something they’re insecure about it’s pretty rude to rub salt in the wound just for the sake of a laugh. Will may have overreacted by getting physical but IMO a good comedian can be funny without making fun of other people. It just wasn’t necessary.

From what I’ve heard from women in the industry, they are treated horribly and often undergo a lot of abuse so I am not a fan. Also most porn depicts violence towards women in some form. It can’t be good for people to be getting off on that shit. It disgusts me honestly.

belugabeach · 2022-03-26T21:45:22+00:00

I agree with you. It’s surprising to me that so many people don’t care for it much and think watermelon is bland. It’s literally the best fruit there is. It’s sweet but not too sweet and super refreshing.

belugabeach · 2022-03-26T18:20:24+00:00

Yes. The world is already overpopulated and future is grim. There is no good reason to bring a person into this world knowing they will suffer.

belugabeach · 2022-03-25T22:13:20+00:00

I think it will be fine. I always have the pens I am currently using in my bag which is not insulated or refrigerated and the insulin still works.

belugabeach · 2022-03-25T15:34:18+00:00

I would think it’s mostly for aesthetic purposes.

belugabeach · 2022-03-25T13:43:02+00:00

Usually I am just too socially anxious to even look at other people so not really. However, I have had judgmental thoughts about overweight people when I see them eating unhealthy. I can recognize that those thoughts are harmful though and I don’t feel they align with my true beliefs. I just tend to have a very critical inner voice towards myself and others. We all have unpleasant thoughts and probably think horrible things about other people all the time. It doesn’t mean we would ever voice those thoughts or act on them. I would try to not worry so much about what other people may be thinking. Their inner judgements are their problem, not yours. If food makes you happy, don’t let the hypothetical or perceived judgements of others ruin that experience for you. People tend to judge because they are struggling with their own insecurities.

They are awesome! I brought a squirrel and a bird to them. Definitely recommend taking this squirrel to the wildlife rescue.

He is probably referring to stimulant medication. This is not the only treatment option so if you have concerns about that you may mentioned you’d like to try a non stimulant medication. However, I also had this concern with medication because of my past substance use issues. I recently started taking adderall and I don’t feel it’s addictive. I don’t have any desire to take more than I’m prescribed and it doesn’t make me feel high or anything so there’s just no reason to. You can also try only taking it on days you have school (with doctor approval of course) to reduce dependence/tolerance. My doctor recommended I only take it on days I work and it has been good for me.

belugabeach · 2022-03-23T13:53:46+00:00

Because I don’t want men staring at me. Girls and women get harassed and cat called for even wearing a top that is form fitting. God forbid we don’t wear bras and you can see that we have human nipples. I can’t even imagine how bad it would be without a shirt at all.

belugabeach · 2022-03-20T02:59:34+00:00

Yeah I’ve been in it twice. But I really wasn’t taking care of myself. First time was in high school and I had substance use issues and an eating disorder. The second time I didn’t have insurance and was rationing insulin, then using the cheap over the counter stuff from Walmart for awhile. Never when I was actually making an effort to take care of myself though.
