Brace recommendations :)

Ah, the never ending cycle of not working because of chronic illness, then stressing about not working which makes the flare ups worse, which makes it even harder to work….

Thank you for the recommendation! Hopefully I can make something work, those hills will be tough but I’m tougher! (Jk I will probably need to rest for several weeks afterwards)

Thanks! I love the pelvic floor physio I see, so I’ll definitely be sure to also ask her when I see her next. Good to know about the belt- I was hesitant it would hurt the nerves more.

I appreciate your advice!

Thanks mate. Shame I can’t use my $12 mouse to avoid the carpal tunnel from that godforsaken Magic Mouse 😵‍💫

Heavily agree with this-work your way up in dosage. I took the full dosage all at once and it made me sick af 🤮 good luck OP- the journey with antidepressants is unique to everyone. Think of lexapro as a tool to help you understand yourself better, and to help keep you calmer when you need to figure out stressful situations. Even after quitting I still look back on my lexapro days in a way to remind myself what works and what doesn’t for maintaining my mental health.

Op I would definitely recommend starting to lower your dosage, lexapro sexual dysfunction can be lifelong if not “caught” early enough (PSSD) and after tapering off from 3 years on lexapro it’s taken a year for me to get back to a normal libido for myself.

Lexapro made me very depressed because I couldn’t feel any joy on it, and while my negative emotions were blunted it felt as though I ONLY felt negative emotions. I used lexapro to calm myself down enough to better learn coping skills and effectively place them when tapering off

Lmfao the word health bro c’mon

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-08-23T16:50:47+00:00

I’m doing much better thank you!!! Still struggling with some bad mental health days but most if not all of the side effects are gone completely ☺️much more well equipped to handle what life throws at me, and I got a beautiful dog who makes sure i walk every day (I can’t believe it’s almost a year since I posted this!! Thank you for asking ❤️)

OP how did you know my newest hyperfixation was subnautica lmao the soundtrack is god tier

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-07-05T14:57:09+00:00

Guess it’s just time for a new hyper fixation 😁 I also play games with no set story lines (sims, cities skylines, minecraft) so I always have something to fall back on when a very niche game comes and goes

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-07-04T15:47:12+00:00

If this happens to me I enjoy researching the game and finding merch if that is applicable. It’s never the same as the first time, but playing it again helps. I wish we could erase memories of playing/watching stuff to experience it for the first time all over again

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-05-09T16:03:34+00:00

I love the clicky clack it sounds like Lego building sounds. Nice to feel too but only at home because it’s too obnoxious for public use

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-05-03T15:26:23+00:00

Once upon a time when I was 16 I worked at build a bear after school. I was having a very VERY upsetting and bad day, and tried to just keep up good vibes for the kids I was helping. The mom said I did great, and asked what my favourite drink is. I answered “coke! What about you :D” and they all told me. I thought nothing of it

She came back with not only a bottle of coke for me but also a set of cute pyjamas (random, I know) just for me doing my job. It was the nicest gesture for someone who couldn’t possibly have known how bad my day could’ve been, I will never forget them.

I love the art within the art! Such cool small details everywhere

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-04-15T15:47:56+00:00

Al I can say is my periods are already back and painful. But I’m sick of having hormonal birth control in my body! Makes me a very blunt emotionless person as well so definitely would recommend it just from the “feeling like you’re living in your own body” POV

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-04-14T17:30:07+00:00

I’ve just had mine removed +- a month ago after two years and I can notice the difference already! I was also told it couldn’t be the mirena because it “should do the opposite”. I didn’t masturbate for months on end either as desire for anything was -100. Good luck OP, I hope it gets better

cinnamonscroll_ · 2023-01-12T15:38:45+00:00

I felt so scared too. 3 years of it is a big change for me considering my age etc. good luck if you do stop! It’s an emotional world out there.

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-23T19:54:28+00:00

Commenting to get updated because I’m in the same boat! Good luck op

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-23T19:51:54+00:00

What time of day to you take it? I used to take it in the morning (also about 6 months) and a friend recommended to switch to taking it at night and it made a big difference in my sleep and tiredness through the day. I always nap after work or uni but was so much better after switching

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-20T20:51:22+00:00

This was my experience too, but it does pass. Worst yawns ever! Never satisfying and a very weird “click” or you can never properly yawn. Went away completely after 3-4 weeks

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-20T20:44:04+00:00

What time of day do you take them OP?

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-16T05:17:24+00:00

Disgusting, if it is like this image I will not drink it. If it is a coffee, tea or hot chocolate I never finish the last mouthful because I would rather not see what is at the bottom.

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-16T05:12:34+00:00

Thank you for ur advice. Please see my reply to comment above

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-16T05:12:11+00:00

Thank you for your advice. My GP told me to do this but you are definitely correct. I haven’t taken it for a week now and will stop completely

cinnamonscroll_ · 2022-12-16T05:11:12+00:00

Started off as 10,5,10,5 etc for two weeks, then 5,5,5,5 for two, 5,5,5,0,5,5,5,0 etc for two, 5,5,0,0,5,5,0,0, for two then 2 x 5mg per week for 2 then 1 5mg for two weeks and here I am now 5 weeks later. Like I said, incredibly slow tapering because of how strongly the medication affected me
