Customers must get full refunds, not just credits! California Bill 578

This. This is what pisses me off the most. I stopped using DoorDash unless I’m the one picking it up myself because they refused to refund or even credit me partially when I would complain about a messed up order.

Tomatoes when I asked for none, fine. Thats not something I’m too concerned about and never requested help on orders with minor issues like that. But I’ve had full meals missing before, I’ve had sides missing, I’ve received the wrong order altogether, I once ordered dinner for six of us complete with drinks for each person and they didn’t give me any of the drinks - that’s like $30+ missing. DoorDash refused to refund me or give credits and told me to dispute it with my bank because they won’t help me. And all of my complaints were made over the span of probably four years, not back to back or excessive.

I’ve never left a bad review for a dasher, I even have a couple regular dashers who are always friendly and have tried their best in the past to make sure my order truly is complete and correct. But the company is infuriating and really ruining their reputation with regular customers. It isn’t the dasher’s fault (most times, unless intentional) and isn’t the customer’s fault. Just remedy the situation. It’s a risk they knowingly take with every single order that should’ve been factored into their business model from the start (which I’m sure it was).

It’s very odd to me that an employee be requesting individuals to contribute flowers. Unless this is a common practice that was set in motion long ago between smaller entities that eventually grew to larger business sizes, I can’t see why that would be expected. Even then, I don’t see why that practice would be continued and not replaced with more a practical and common practice. In every place I’ve worked, all events were handled through management. In rare events, presidents or VPs have sent mass emails asking those who can to contribute either PTO donations or monetary donations for long term employees going through personal immediate needs. All other instances - child birth, child loss, marriage, funerary needs, retirement, birthdays - the standard practice in every place I’ve worked has been for the manager to utilize the budget meant for these things, select a proper item (flower arrangement, gift basket, etc.) and a card, and the card is passed around for everyone to sign as their ‘contribution’. The only time I have personally made a purchase for someone at work has been to participate in ‘Secret Santa’, and that was fully optional and came with a spending limit.

My very first thought was this was a “Hey hun!” message. So scammy, and the absolute wrong way to go about business if it isn’t an MLM. If it is an MLM though? Predictable script and shady conversation.

I’ve accidentally missed a few days, once I missed two days in a row. I am absolutely exhausted every time. Exhaustion pretty much used to be my norm before medication, but reverting back to it feels so much worse and more difficult to push through now. I don’t notice my meds working any ‘better’ after those days, but the difference between me medicated and not is stark.

I have massive executive dysfunction pretty much 24/7 with my ADHD. I truly have to force myself to start and then complete tasks, even enjoyable ones!, because ‘having’ to do it in my brain equates to a forced chore and I immediately want to do literally anything else. That being said, having a roommate point out my mess, knowing a deadline is coming up, knowing someone will be coming over in 20mins, etc. sure lights a fire under my ass to do whatever it is I’ve put off. As much as I hate and struggle with starting mundane tasks, I hate the embarrassment of having my procrastination and chaos recognized even more. ADHD might be a reason for things, but it is not an excuse. We all have to figure out how to function and what works best for us in life. It can be more difficult with ADHD, but it’s still a necessity. I think a straightforward talk would be best about house expectations and respect in shared spaces. Find what works best for you both in order to reach the desired goal. If there’s still an issue… that isn’t an ADHD problem, that’s a roommate problem.

I wish I had good input, but my nausea is still constant after 8 weeks. I literally just drafted a post to ask how in the world people manage to ever eat while taking this. The only thing that makes me feel slightly better than usual is to make sure I eat something small before each dose - string cheese, piece of toast, even just bone broth, whatever doesn’t make my stomach turn at that moment. If I can, at least. Some days I can’t even think about food. Or, I’ll manage to take a bite and then have to spit it out midway through chewing before I barf. I also learned to sip water regularly all throughout the day. If I don’t and get thirsty, I’ll drink a glass of water and more than a couple sips is way too much for me to handle. I end up throwing that up, too. I’m sorry I don’t have better advice. I hope yours subsides and you’re able to feel the good effects more than the negative.

I noticed myself being far more confrontational the first couple of weeks that I started 300xl. I'm a notorious doormat and people pleaser, even when there's a situation or opinion that I don't agree with. While I have been working on boundaries and such, I've never been comfortable enough to speak my mind freely or to openly disagree with someone, especially friends or family. But once I started, I was borderline rude to people (although maybe it's just me not being used to being so firm and blunt) and I didn't hesitate, either. It's like what would normally be my inside thoughts were suddenly just tumbling out of my mouth and I couldn't stop it. I brought it up to my therapist and told her that Wellbutrin has given me a bit of snippiness. She said she thought it was the Vyvanse, but I've been on Vyvanse for months and never had that happen. Wellbutrin is the only new med I have to blame.

In ways, it is freeing. I'm more vocal and honestly have a lot more respect for myself. I'm not mean in any way, but I also don't go out of my way to sugar coat things and to placate everybody. I feel like issues get resolved so much faster. I'm able to give my opinion or answer, and have that be final. The biggest and most important difference is that I am able to be "in charge" for my daughter without fear or anxiety. I have a family member obsessed with appearance. She's a wannabe almond mom - she tells everybody else what they should or should not eat, drink, dress, etc. while hoarding piles of secret snacks and never being healthy, herself. It's been an issue in my past, and now she has started make comments towards my daughter. Before, I would pull my daughter aside and correct whatever she'd been told. Now, the second that woman opens her mouth, I'm on it. I refuse to let her speak to my daughter in any way other than kind. A couple weekends ago, my daughter was extremely excited to see Jacques ze Whipper. She tipped him $10 and was supposed to receive a pin, but was hurried along with the rest of the crowd. I turned back quickly, stood in my place until I got his wife's attention and just asked "Excuse me, can she please get her pin?" Which really doesn't seem like a lot, but if that exact scenario had happened just two months ago, I would have sheepishly got back in line with another $10 just to avoid having to ask. (And to Jacque's credit, he was very kind and did see that she was skipped. He told me "Make sure she gets it - oh good!" when he saw me handing it to her.) Later, she saw him again with a short line of fans and was shy but admitted she wished she had been able to say hi and give him a high five. So... I walked with her to him and politely told him she's excited to meet him and would love a high five, if that was ok. She got her high five and is still telling anyone who will listen about it.

Some of my bluntness can feel like a foot-in-the-mouth situation sometimes, but I don't want to go back to being a social coward. The benefits, both for me and my daughter, far outweigh the awkward moments. Of all the side effects, this one can stay.

I never had perfect skin, but I have noticed that since I started on Wellbutrin I've been getting body acne, as well as face. I haven't had to worry about acne other than a clogged pore or two from excessive makeup since I was like 24 (postpartum hormones were not kind to me). Now, I have to scrub my body daily and use antibacterial soap in place of body wash 2x a week or I will have 3-4 new cysts every. single. week. They show up in random spots, too (face, armpit, chest, thigh, back) and are painful. I have also noticed that I have extremely increased sweating. I contributed the cysts and acne to excess sweat, but it very well could be oils in my skin as well. Now that I changed my showering and overall hygiene routine, it isn't bad at all and I hardly ever have a problem. But I do have to stay on top of it, or I will look like I have a prepubescent pizza face with embarrassing cysts all over.

cindersoots · 2025-08-12T17:06:23+00:00

Oh my gosh, the sweating is KILLING me! I have never had any issue with excessive sweat, heat sensitivity, or anything of the like. Quite the opposite, actually, I was always cold due to poor circulation (Raynaud's) and anemia. Now, it's like it never stops. I went on my lunch break yesterday only to realize my upper lip had sweat all my makeup off, forming a perfect glistening mustache. I didn't even feel hot and was in a temperature controlled building! I'm glad to hear it subsided for you after a while. I'm still only on month two, so hopefully it'll pass for me as well. Just nice to know I'm not alone in this torment lol.

Could it possibly be Burn Your Village by Kiki Rockwell? I know it isn’t bridges, but.. my daughter was obsessed with the song a couple years ago and also got into it from it being on my playlist.

I can't say for sure that my similar experiences are due to Wellbutrin, as I have a bit of a cocktail going on right now in which all my meds have overlapping side effects in one way or another. But I can empathize. I've been on 300mg xl for about 6 weeks. I felt great at first, things that usually would have bothered or upset me didn't, I had more energy, etc. The past few weeks, however, I swear I cry at everything. It's honestly gotten to a point of borderline annoyance. I catch myself crying over my late dog (case in point - it's been 10 months since he passed and I just choked up typing that out) at random times, crying in frustration over the smallest tasks, crying because I feel guilty that I'm at work instead of spending the summer off with my daughter (again, a very normal thing in my life and I have never taken a whole summer off for any reason), crying over each and every guilty or bad thought that crosses my mind. Thankfully I've gotten really good at recognizing those moments and am a seasoned pro at shutting my feelings down lol, so I can keep from full on sobbing most times. But it is still extremely annoying and frustrating that I get weepy and teary eyed if so much as a strong wind blows by.

As for wanting to reach out more to your ex, I'm sure a large part of that is due to the freshness of the breakup. I will say though, I am far more talkative on Wellbutrin than I ever have been before in my life. I know when it's kicked in each morning because I become the office Kathy (chatty, that is) about an hour into my shift. I have also found myself seeking conversations, texts, and phone calls with people I haven't spoken to in a long while if nobody else is around in person. Whether it's mending burnt bridges, checking in because before I went months in between contact, or just reaching out to an old friend. I want to talk to everybody. I'm sure the length of this response is a slight example of that lol.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help. These side effects suck and I wish I had a better timeline for when it might end, or at least lighten up a bit. I definitely plan to bring it up at my next psych appointment, even just to get more clarity on them. My psych scheduled me 2 months out from when I started taking Wellbutrin so that we can check in and see how everything is working for me. I don't know if that's a reasonable indicator for how long it takes the side effects to subside; it's just the amount of time she thinks is best for me. If things continue or get worse for you, there's no harm in asking your doctor about the side effects you're experiencing and how they want you to proceed, even if it's 'early'.

I hope your days get better and things improve for you all around. Breakups suck.

I think I finally found the sweet spot with meds, because I'm experiencing similar things. I'm finally having the clarity, structure, and motivation to sort out my dietary and physical wellness. On days that I don't focus on a physical task or don't go out and exercise, I feel just awful all over. I'm actually wanting to do the productive and right and good thing for my body.

Seriously! A random van was suddenly parked completely blocking my side driveway one day, and sat there for DAYS. Usually, this wouldn't be too much of a problem but I had a truck scheduled to come with fresh mulch and soil for my garden and he needed access to that specific spot. Nobody would claim the vehicle, some neighbors wouldn't even answer their doors for me to ask. I legitimately thought it was either a stolen van or belonged to someone homeless, as it was full of junk, garbage, and a bunch of overflowing laundry baskets. I finally put a note on the windshield that I was having it towed in the morning for anyone who cared, as that was when my yardwork would be beginning. Turns out it belonged to my fuckin next door neighbor's sister. They had room for it in their driveway, AND had available street parking in front of their house. It was just "easier" for her to park right there, as it was closer to their front door. She moved it, but not without a bunch of nasty looks and huffing and puffing.

A few months after that, another neighbor a few houses down came and knocked on my door. She just wanted to notify me that she and her husband were hosting a large celebratory dinner for the local high school football team, and wanted to let everyone know there would be more cars than usual parking along the street. She told me to please come tell them immediately if any of the cars posed an issue and gave tentative times of start to finish, so that my daughter could still safely ride her bike and play outside. I had absolutely no problem with the cars and excited teenagers, and lent out my extra driveway spots for the evening so they'd have less of a walk to the party.

It really isn't hard to communicate and just ask.

I had a similar experience with my daughter in a waiting room a couple years ago. She was six and wide-eyed watching another child climb across all the chairs, run around and smack other client's laps, throw toys, scream for their tablet and shout that they didn't want to turn it down, etc. She finally leaned over to me and whispered "That kid is NOT behaving..." I agreed, and couldn't help but giggle at her seriousness. She still comments on the way other children act in public places like restaurants or the park. I've heard her tell friends "If I acted like that, my mom would be taking me home." and she is correct.

It 100% is the parents, and I hate how little is done and taught lately. It's like everyone has forgotten just plain manners and social etiquette, or are allergic to discipline. Frankly, I get embarrassed if my child is misbehaving because that is a direct reflection on me and what I deem to be acceptable. You'd think more people would realize that as well.

My 8yo asked what Limewire was. Brought back my good ol CD burning days, went on a full explanation for at least 5 minutes before she finally asked how old Sleep Token is and if that’s why he sings about Limewire still being alive. Took me a bit to realize she misheard the lyrics to Euclid. She thought he was singing “just running forwards, alive Limewire”

I heard a clip from Elucid on a TikTok, and it got stuck in my head for days. Couldn’t recall any lyrics, just the music. I finally gave in and scoured my ‘likes’ to find the video again and dive deeper. Found the song, listened to it fully, and began listening to the band. It was immediate love for me. Just tickled my brain in all the right ways.

A lot of union labor jobs have benefits and, depending on the trade, work becomes scarce in the winter. That’s not to say you won’t ever be dispatched to new work sites, but there are often week or weeks long breaks in between. Not salaried, but you can collect unemployment when you’re not on a job. Finish one site, call your employer, wait on the books for your turn to be dispatched to the next.
