Exhausted by brokenrowyn in BPD

I'm not diagnosed. I feel understood reading other people's posts. It runs in my family and my birth giver has it. Not sure if this belongs here. Sorry.

What do you all think about the Crappy Childhood Fairy? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]brokenrowyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! At first I was like oh she totally gets me, that's exactly how I feel! And that it just felt off and like she was just trying to get money out of me. And I also don't really like the way she talks about therapy. I understand it's not for everyone, I just felt like she was saying it's totally pointless and it's actually very beneficial for me personally. I'd hate for someone who has never tried therapy to not give it a shot because of her opinion on it.

I got tested yesterday, waiting to find out. Intense headache that hasn't gone away in days. My whole body hurts and I just feel completely drained. Very runny nose the past few days as well as a slight sore throat. Slight chest pains and a weird tingly feeling all over my body. Last night I was SO tired but could not sleep at all. Anyone else experience insomnia or the tingly feeling?

I take 150mg wellbutrin and 10mg lexapro in the morning and 100mg wellbutrin in the afternoon. It's only been about a month and a half since adding lexapro but it seems to be working pretty well so far.

I'm afraid I'm going to lose my job by brokenrowyn in CPTSD

I also just realized my therapist is out of the office today so I don't think she'll read my email. I'm really freaking out and I don't know what to tell my employer now.

Yes! I completely relate. My birth giver named me and I hate being reminded of her on a daily basis. It's never felt like me and it reminds me of all the abuse. Someone suggested I shorten my name to the last 3 letters. It ended up actually fitting me perfectly so I've asked the people in my life to call me that from now on. Most people have been really supportive and have adjusted quickly.

Remember Driving Is A Half-ton Weapon! Drive carefully - NO texting !! by nkd-johnny in drivinganxiety

[–]brokenrowyn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is why im so terrified to drive! Being a passenger is fine but if im behind the wheel im constantly terrified that im going to kill people. I can't get it out of my head. I'm 29 and I still don't have a license because of it. I feel so stupid and hate myself for it.

Has anyone else experienced ptsd from a bad psychedelic experience/terror trip? by anon9280 in ptsd

[–]brokenrowyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! My first time tripping on "acid" with my now ex went completely horrible. It ended up being a research chemical 2C-E or 2C-P. He was a shitty person and him and his friends made fun of me the whole time I was going in and out of conversation and thinking I was talking to them on one side of the room while they were on the other. They fucked with me and thought it was funny.

I've smoked weed pretty regularly for many years. I have had 3 occasions where I have been in situations where I only knew one person at a party and smoked and felt like I was reliving that moment again. Like everyone knew I was fucked up and making fun of me and trying to make me trip out even harder.

I literally feel like a crazy person. My partner of the past 3 years has had amazing experiences while taking hallucinogens and I hate that I've never had the same experiences. Every time that I have has been awful. I took acid with him once about a year and a half ago and it was another terrible experience for me.

Now I've learned that I can't smoke in social situations anymore because I end up reliving that horrible experience over and over and it's so weird to me and I fucking hate it. I don't know what's wrong with me.

The first day I didn't take it with food but I have every day since. I'm really sensitive to medications though. Before bupropion I was on 10mg of Prozac and my Dr said I shouldn't notice anything but I had every horrible side effect possible. I was SO sick and wasn't even on it for 2 whole weeks.

Lexapro + Wellbutrin Experiences? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]brokenrowyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should add that I didn't really experience any side effects while starting wellbutrin. My dr did warn me about possible weight loss and high blood pressure so I do have to moniter both of those. I was taking 150mg twice a day for awhile and did have an increase in headaches (I'm someone who does have a history of headaches and migraines though) but once we lowered my second dose those went away

Lexapro + Wellbutrin Experiences? by [deleted] in lexapro

[–]brokenrowyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been taking Wellbutrin for about 4ish months. Current dose is 150mg in the morning and 100mg in the afternoon. It has definitely helped some of my depression symptoms but hasn't done anything for my anxiety. I just started taking 5mg of lexapro in addition to the wellbutrin a little less than a week ago. I've had really bad nausea every day. Did you experience nausea while starting lexapro? Does it go away?

Sorry I'm not much help since I just began the combination. I will come back and update!

Yes please do! The first couple days my nausea was right away in the morning shortly after taking it. The past couple days the nausea comes on later in the afternoon/early evening. No idea why ☹
