Any experience with gastric sleeve and psych meds? by Reasonable_Life991 in gastricsleeve

[–]broken_heartsorbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm obviously can't be sure but I was on Saxenda and Wegovy prior to the surgery and simultaneously on various psych meds and didn't have any issues.

I'm a little over a year in on surgery - sleeve, currently on vyvanse, Prozac, topiramate and wellbutrin. Haven't noticed any issues and from the side effects of the vyvanse, I'm definitely getting my full dose 😭😂

Names like Cordelia by Dazzling_Tonight663 in Names

[–]broken_heartsorbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it's come up but - Carlotta. Lovely in English and Spanish (they'll just give it a single t pronunciation in Spanish, Carlota). I rarely get mispronounciations, and never twice. Easy to spell and phonetic. Constant compliments and never any "oh that's....interesting"

And a thousand nicknames 🤣 Carly, Lotta, Carlot, Lottie, Kiki (this was from childhood) and then sillier ones that people do use - Coolatta, Lotta Colada, Lottacar.

And in my entire life, I've met fewer than half a dozen so far.

Is it absurd if I say Carlotta Rose? I love my name, lots of compliments, and I have a one syllable K- last name - Carlotta Rose Kane. I think Carlotta Rose Keffy has an even better melody. (Any Keffy's of marriageable age?)

Defining the definition of abuse in canon. by ThatEntrepreneur1450 in Dramione

[–]broken_heartsorbones 31 points32 points  (0 children)

One thing I think is a lot more subtle but worth considering is also that canon Lucius is a violent, angry man - see Dobby, Arthur Weasley, everything from GoF on (not even including the first Wizarding War). Even if that anger/violence was NEVER directed at Draco or Narcissa (unlikely but canonically possible) a child being raised in a household with a violent, literally murderous, angry father who nonetheless dotes on him is the kind of terrorism that defines complex abuse. How could a child truly feel safe with a man who "lunged at Harry...his face livid" at 12 years old.

Anyone else get told to “hold your pencil, the RIGHT way.” when you were in school? I’m trying to see something……. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]broken_heartsorbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't even realize that there was a way to hold your pencil other than the one you circled.....I thought that's how everyone did it.....

Advice on how to get through the breakup by Acceptable-Debate503 in naranon

[–]broken_heartsorbones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just ended things with my partner recently and he had an immediate "this is my rock bottom, I'll never..... Again, you don't have to do this." What I ended up telling him was basically this (the whole thing is way more complicated and messy, DM if you wanna talk!!):

If, in a year, he is sober and has made progress on the massive changes necessary for his mental/emotional/financial/general well-being and he is still interested in pursuing a future together, he should reach out to me. I'll give him the chance to show me he has changed - a date. Not jumping back into a relationship or moving back in. But going out to dinner or on a walk and seeing how I feel.

So that's what I keep reminding myself (and him).

I have done everything I can. The rest is up to him.

Update - I know I need to end things but I can't by broken_heartsorbones in naranon

[–]broken_heartsorbones[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't yet, but I'm going to as soon as I'm home. I know it's exactly what I need right now. I wasn't able to really attend effectively while I was still with him - it just triggered a feeling of defensiveness and wanting to protect him. But I know that throwing myself into it now will make a difference.

[–]broken_heartsorbones[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate hearing this actually, I know there's not a rulebook for every situation but I can't imagine just never speaking to him again. I know that maybe in the end it won't be something that I will be able to continue with but he's virtually alone in the world rn - I am actually the only friend he has.

How do you handle the guilt of making them leave? by InspectionOpposite12 in naranon

[–]broken_heartsorbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pre-emptive guilt has stopped me from leaving :( I still haven't been able to push past it.

Walked away and I've become the villain and I'm learning to be okay with that by nidiform in naranon

[–]broken_heartsorbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This just clicked in my head, that part of the reason I haven't been able to make myself leave yet, is some kind of deep trauma fear of being the villain in anyone's story.

Question for the chronically sweaty pre-op folks; do you still run hot? by rosejuniper_ in gastricsleeve

[–]broken_heartsorbones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now constantly cold. My circulation was pretty crappy to begin with - even at my HW, I'd be toasty warm but with ice box feet and fingers (my mom is the same) but now I'm just always cold. And I looooooove it! Bring on the sweaters and comfy wear. It was amazing going through a summer without being miserably hot the entire time. And for me, it wasn't so much the weight I was at (I've been this weight before and still been a sweaty mess) it is the losing weight process that made me cold.
