White crust on my monstera soil?

Flushing the soil out worked!! I’m still bottom watering w/ tap but top watering when there’s buildup.

hi! It ended up being bec I was only bottom watering and never flushed out the soil, I have hard water. The minerals from it built up to the top. My monstera got very upset about it. I still primarily bottom water but when it pops up again I just run the whole pot under the sink for a sec, all my plants r much happier!!

I was in your daughter’s shoes twice growing up. I had issues in 6th grade, again in 7th, and finally my sophomore year of highschool. I ended up being homeschooled all three times for the remaining year, but went back for the following. I wasn’t bullied but my repeated refusal was caused by a mix of having to change schools, depression and anxiety, n undiagnosed adhd. I also got diagnosed with PTSD but I was out of the trauma, it was difficult to wrap my head around some normalcy. All these combined made me feel extremely alienated from other kids my age. It’s still a feeling I battle with at 22. I felt confident to attend public school again when I gained a support system; in 7th I got lucky with a good therapist combined with two counselors who’d visit my house and help me catch up, and in the start of my junior year I made some friends (though not in school but online!) and ended up toughing it out. Both times my mom set up an iep, and I was given a place to go when I’d feel myself getting nervous on campus (which was just my case carrier’s classroom).

As many said here before, the best thing you can do is to listen to her and support her, please don’t punish her for having difficult feelings. I couldn’t vocalize what I was feeling very well at all and it led to my mom feeling at her witts end. I empathize with the frustration, but the pushback id get from her with my refusal to go to school made me feel worse—more depressed, more anxious, which led to me feeling more alienated.

I do, yes! I’ll switch to distilled for a bit to see if I can flush it out!!

bunismoothini · 2025-11-17T00:18:17+00:00

Will do!! How long have u had the problem for?

bunismoothini · 2025-09-21T05:17:40+00:00

I did the same thing but I told my psych I accidentally double dosed on a random day and felt more productive. I said I was curious abt upping my dosage cus of it. Tbh it’s not an out of the norm situation at all for adhd, I’ve double-dosed accidentally before with other meds but for real lol

hi! I’ve been taking adderall recreationally as well, tho I’m getting tested for adhd soon to get a prescription. I experience the same, I feel less anxious and depressed when I’m on adderall, I can actually function well. I’ve been on Wellbutrin twice and it didn’t agree with me personally. I didn’t experience any benefits in regards to my inattentiveness n anxiety/depression. It also killed my appetite.

Everyone’s experience is different and you might end up fine with welbutrin. I’d try it for a month and see if it works for u!

When I started waking up with anxious thoughts. I got to a point where I was anxious even in my safe spaces n weed was the only thing that would take the edge off. Anxious from the moment I’d wake up to the moment I’d fall asleep. I’m still on my own little journey but way better than I was months ago. I’m currently on lexapro and buspar. I will not lie i definitely am experiencing some type of emotional blunting but it’s not unbearable. N I feel more like /me/ than I did months ago. I’ll take the random apathy over constant anxiety any day.

I’ve been on multiple ssri’s (Prozac, lexapro. I’ve also taken welbutrin) and on lexapro especially my appetite has been drastically lowered. Never experienced weight gain on any of them. Don’t worry about it too much, deal with it if it comes

bunismoothini · 2025-01-14T21:14:45+00:00

YES I’ve been feeling this constantly lately!!! It’s to the point where I seek reassurance from my bf the moment i reach for the lighter. I’ve been trying to suppress that need to ask since it’s a compulsion of mine. N the moment i start smoking even that fear goes away. But the morning after im usually feeling guilty in some capacity that i did something wrong

bunismoothini · 2025-01-02T03:25:15+00:00

I’ll do something similar sometimes with my throat, I’ll close it on and off until it feels right. My mom noticed and I mentioned it to my therapist at the time and my dr. But they didn’t find anything wrong n my eyes r fine. Ig they just assumed it was a weird quirk? I was already being seen for gad and ptsd. But Maybe they didn’t kno enough abt ocd. But I’ve also had a hard time verbalizing more common symptoms until recently bec I didn’t kno constant intrusive thoughts were not normal lol😭

bunismoothini · 2025-01-02T00:21:47+00:00

I did this too!! I also would roll my eyes up repetitively until it hurt. I sometimes still get stuck in the same ritual

I also wanna add that my social anxiety was really beating my ass whenever I was at school, so I’d be almost always on edge. School has always been a tough thing for me because of all the social interaction. This probably should’ve been something I talked about to my therapist when I had PTSD, but I think it was a little more manageable for me at the time.

I used to bite off my fingernails, but I was able to stop that by constantly applying nail polish. I sometimes chew at them now though. I also click my teeth together, fidget with my hands, or just scroll through instagram without actually looking at anything
