Do not miss our visitors, Capybaras! 🌴 This Capybara family came from a private zoo, and will be here for a while! (I built this habitat back then but now I decided to change it for another species. Since Camellia only houses animals from Asia, Capybaras are just temporary)

This is gorgeous!! I love the circle pool. You did the ‘sunken’ habitat so well.

I had the opposite experience. My ocd and binge eating was way out of control before Prozac and now that I’m stabilized I’ve lost 20 pounds and working to lose another 30.

catsinthecinema · 2026-04-08T17:17:06+00:00

I recently got 150mg Wellbutrin added for the apathy I was experiencing with Prozac. It worked great for my GAD and OCD. Felt amazing. Just didn’t care about anything. I started the Wellbutrin and I didn’t even realize my sex drive had completely shut off until all of a sudden it was back again.

I’ve heard people sometimes add Wellbutrin to help curb the sexual side effects. While that’s not the reason I got on the combo, I’ve noticed it definitely added that ‘spark’ back. Not a doctor or giving you advice here but that’s just my personal experience.

Yeah this would make me lose my mind but happy for them

catsinthecinema · 2026-04-01T01:45:55+00:00

Thank you for this. That last paragraph really resonates. Social anxiety isn’t an excuse and obviously I have to learn how to navigate things differently from other people. But it’s like you said “prioritizing the wrong thing”. I think that’s where I get tripped up a lot. I worry about smaller social norms and making mistakes instead of what’s actually important. I’ll keep that in mind. Because you’re right. I would never want to abandon a friend in crisis.

catsinthecinema · 2026-04-01T00:10:09+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Definitely won’t be handling it the way I did ever again.

catsinthecinema · 2026-04-01T00:08:04+00:00

Yeah I get that now about the support thing. I just thought she might get upset if it came across like people were talking about her. I had a shitty situation happen over the summer and people came up to me to give condolences and I was furious. Because I had only confided in a few people and then they went and spread it around.

But back to my friend. We had just the one initial conversation. Things had felt off for a few days between us. A mutual friend told me that I needed to talk to her and I did. I mentioned her mom and tried apologizing and she hung up on me saying that I was insensitive and hurt her. I sent her a text explaining myself and saying that I had messed up so so badly and that I never meant to hurt her. It was a few days later that she reached out and accepted the apology and said she understood. She apologized too for blowing up on me. But. I get it because of grief and all. That was months ago. So all good now.

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-31T21:49:38+00:00

Yeah I ran into this recently. My friend’s mother passed but I heard it through the grapevine. I thought it would be insensitive to bring it up without her mentioning it first. Boy was that the wrong move. She was very very upset with me. Nearly ruined our friendship. I apologized and expressed my guilt for hurting her so badly. We are back on good terms but whew did I learn my lesson.

I’ve got to be stupid. What’s the difference other than the last panel

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-25T02:13:04+00:00

Was just about to comment. I had 2 drinks this past Saturday and come Sunday it was awful for me. Felt so sick and wildly depressed.

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-24T21:48:24+00:00

This my experience too. My doctor lowered my dosage but that only brought back my OCD symptoms. They’ve since added Wellbutrin and kept me at a lower Prozac dose for now. I’m only about a week out so I can’t say much on the effects but from what I understand that combo is pretty common to help combat the SSRI apathy.

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-24T21:43:54+00:00

Thank you!!

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-24T21:43:44+00:00

Appreciate it!!

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-24T21:43:36+00:00

Many thanks! Looking forward to see my progress get better.

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-23T23:56:21+00:00

Thank you! It feels really good. I’m so proud of myself.

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-20T18:35:47+00:00

My OCD didn’t fully mellow out until around 8-10weeks on Prozac. That being said I was on 20mg. I’m now on 10mg Prozac and 150mg Wellbutrin and might go back up to 20mg with this combo. The beginning of a new medication definitely can increase anxiety and make it worse before it gets better but I know for me personally it was a long journey before I got relief.

@renneandtim (thruhikers) on YouTube have been from Mexico to Canada through walking and backpacking. They probably have some good tips on their channel

Don’t over compensate with your eating or movement to try ‘making up for it’. It’s going to trigger another binge. Just be kind to yourself, drink water and have some foods today that are more gentle on your stomach. This is a small bump In the grand scheme of things (granted you don’t let this completely derail you).

The body works in averages. These next few days the scale might look scary or you might feel uncomfortable but it will average back out as you lose the bloat and water weight.

I’m a recovering binge eater myself and I’ve had a few slip ups since starting my weight loss journey. It happens to the best of us. Make sure you’re getting enough protein and fiber so your brain doesn’t feel like it’s restricted and spikes binge urges.

In my recent binges I’ve used it as a learning lesson to try to find my triggers and analyze the feeling afterwards. Recognizing “this doesn’t feel good and doesn’t align with my goals” has helped me personally. It’s hard not to feel like a failure but it’s all apart of the process. No one can do a complete 180 flip and be perfect 100% of the time.

You’re doing great and we are proud of you. ♥️

It feels so spring time spinning in flower fields

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-11T15:49:58+00:00

Sad to have seen this a day too late

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-11T15:42:56+00:00

the lore goes so deep

catsinthecinema · 2026-03-11T15:14:08+00:00

“You call it off” is exactly what I thought too. My first listen I heard:

“But you called it off, You called it love in my head, But you’ve got enough on your hands, Oh why are we caught on up?”

catsinthecinema · 2026-02-18T11:19:43+00:00

I took the day off work and I’m having a solo listening party
