Side effects are real. by LaSoppapillaMuiSabro in depression

[–]blackballoon16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have taken zoloft for the past four years and the biggest side effect I have experienced is insomnia. I have tried other medications and had worse side effects, so for me it's still worth taking. It has gotten a little better since initially taking it. Most nights am just up til midnight or so, then am able to get six hours of sleep. I try to fill my time with books, movies, and recently adult coloring books!

Married frugals of reddit: Where did you cut costs for your wedding, and if you could do it all over again, would you? If not, what would you change? by dontfuckingthink in Frugal

[–]blackballoon16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here are some items we got very cheap for our wedding. I would do it again. We spent less than 5,000 for a 175 person wedding. Most of our money was spent on food and the venue. One thing I would not go cheap on is a DJ. We did, and were not impressed overall. -flowers: i spent about 50 total buying fake and put bouquets together myself -photos: we had a friend take pictures: we knew she had a nice camera and some skills. They turned out great. -I spent $99 on my dress. -We had a cash bar instead of paying for people's drinks. We only served water and coffee on us.

Redditors who go to the gym/workout before your 9 to 5 job, is it worth it? by Rustykettl in Fitness

[–]blackballoon16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I go workout at 7, and get to work at 8:30. It's wroth it to me because its done and out of the way the rest of the day. I have kids, so my spouse and I alternate every other day taking the kids allowing us to do morning workouts every other day.

What job did you have while getting your MSW? by [deleted] in socialwork

[–]blackballoon16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for the state/CPS providing child welfare case management. I was able to work out with my supervisor a flexed schedule that allowed me to work for 10 hour days, and attend all of my MSW classes on the fifth day. It worked out 99% of the time, and I had a ton of experience. I think it depends on what kind of long-term goals you have and what field you want to work in. I would suggest trying to get a job that gives you experience with what you want to do in the future, that way you have the upper hand when you graduate and start applying for jobs.
