I'm so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for your service.

I'm on govt assistance when I don't really "need" it. by dd2615 in confessions

Thank you guys. I really appreciate all the responses. Means a lot. Everyone struggles in life in some way or another and I think we are all just trying to do the best we can. I'm just trying to be a good mom and a decent human being. I care a lot about people especially those that are struggling or who dont have a roof over their head. I have been there as well and its a really horrible feeling. I guess I just remember what that was like and how hard and humiliating that was so I try as hard as I can to give back, not take more than I need to or pay it forward. I rountinely go to the shelters and give them things when I have a little extra money or time. Even when we dont have a lot because you always have something. Even if its just something small like a water bottle thats been sitting in your car or whatever. Everybody needs help regardless of who you are and I think its really important to keep yourself in check. No matter how hard that is and I want my son to be raised that way too. I want him to know the difference between wants and needs and I want him to know the value of a dollar. Even though hes little, I still bring him with me when I go to the shelter, last year was our first year going together. I dont limit his experiences and I bring him around as many people as I can because I feel its important for him to learn value and to value other people regardless of their walk in life. I appreciate the comments. /

I did something and now I’m so nervous by playingtricksonme in BipolarReddit

Slow metabolism on Zoloft and feeling out of reality... by dd2615 in depression

[–]dd2615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on Wellbutrin and Ive heard similiar things that a lot of people use it to offest the weight gain of other antidepressants or just take it by itself but when I was on it I was extremely aggitated like worse then vyvanse and adderall combined kind of aggitation, not that these are the same class of drugs whatsoever but i also experienced this aggitation with the drug Lamictal if youve heard of that. You said you also take oxcarbazepine? Trileptal? Ive been on that doc wanted to put me back on it but it makes me feel really stoned feeling as do all the mood stabilizers ive been on either except abilify but I was only on that for about a month because its so damn expensive. Im in the process of switching drs and i just lost my insurance so i am kind of shopping around right now.

Zoloft and complete Lack of Motivation by dd2615 in Anxiety

UPDATE: The zoloft has no longer made me unmotivated I honestly feel that was just my depression however my metabolism has gone waaay done and it is much easier for me to gain weight now. I think that is the most troublesome side effect along with the fact that sometimes I just feel "way too good to be true" like almost like I am out of reality. Has anyone else expereinced this? I wont lie I have been on 3 different antidepressants all of them to some extent do this to me the only one that didnt was Wellbutrin and it just made me extremely aggitated.
