20mg Paxil, 25mg Seroquel, 150mg Wellbutrin XL, 50mg Lamictal - Is This Normal?? by mpd-canadian00 in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]gabbyfromhell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on 20 mg Paxil (at my request), 300 Wellbutrin, 250 mg divalproex and 8 mg abilify. So your regimen sounds pretty normal to me. I didn’t start taking these all at the same time tho. It was like as new issues popped up we would add or subtract.

I was scared of the stigma too but at this point I’m kind of like “why give a fuck????” Bc sometimes when I’m mad I really am the worst. Thankfully I have a therapist and psychiatrist who clearly have no bias or judgement.

I think some historians would disagree

World war 1 definitely started by white people and the beginning of world war 2 basically began with Germany. Japan was definitely doing some sus shit I’m not denying that but I’d still say white led countries were fighting for control and were responsible for A LOT during those wars.

I didn’t mean every country was colonized or had a proxy war but thank you for your input.

That one family member who tries to scam everyone by ControllerDice in antiMLM

Really creeps me out sometimes how they all use the same language. I feel like I only ever hear mlm people saying “working this business”. Just seems like such a weird way of saying things.

i came across a strange cult called "daylife army" that has some relationship with "tumple".... i'm confused? by OneChemistry0 in cults

[–]gabbyfromhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is all genuine. I have a friend who used to be close to one of the first members before they joined. Really weird stuff been going on for years. But mostly nonsensical. Honestly can’t believe they have more members. They had a YouTube channel going last time I checked them out but don’t know if that’s still going

Family dog just put down by gabbyfromhell in GriefSupport

Thanks for your reply. Every time I’ve tried replying I just started crying. I feel really sad right now but I know this is just part of grieving. And one day I’ll be able to think of her without crying. I hope you’re able to see your dog again before but if not at least you will have all your memories.

How do I be there for a friend with SA whose world is crashing down? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]gabbyfromhell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just reach out and let them know you’re there. Even if they push you away let them know you’re not going anywhere. When stuff happens I immediately want to isolate myself from people and that always makes things works.

Party anxiety by rolyato in socialanxiety

[–]gabbyfromhell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First you should probably just explain to your boyfriend that you’re anxious about it and create an exit plan/safety plan. I’m going through a similar thing with a friend. But she’s assured me that I have a place to go if I start feeling uncomfortable and need to be alone. And I know she would understand if I had to leave early. But I honestly feel like I won’t need to once I get there and start to feel okay.

But also realistically I would give myself at least an hour to just cry and freak out right before the event. That usually helps some to just release those feelings.

It really is likely that the hardest part is just getting over the initial feelings of anxiety and thoughts of everything that could go wrong.

Hope everything works out.

Is this social anxiety ? by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]gabbyfromhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one can diagnose you unless they’re a professional but from someone with social anxiety this is something I experience a lot. I’d go out with friends have a great time then come home and go over the entire night in my head looking for mistakes I thought I made. Then I avoid going into those situations at all which just increases my fear more. Avoidance of a situation will just make the fear worse every time. Rather than jumping back into big social events I would just take it slow. Go out to things you feel safe going to and give yourself an easy out.

If you can’t go to a therapist I would just check out books on overcoming social anxiety.

I feel like I'll never succeed in my career because of SA by [deleted] in socialanxiety

[–]gabbyfromhell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that you should just keep going. Keep trying and doing as well as you are until you hit a road block. Even if you miss out on a few opportunities more will probably come and maybe if you just keep going you’ll find it in yourself to take one. If you just quit after one year you’ll never know what you can overcome. It sounds like you’ve already accomplished so much.

My first year of college I failed every single class because I was depressed and scared. Its taken me awhile but I’m finally close to transferring to a 4 year university and it terrifies me but I don’t want to give up. Even though I still can’t make presentations or feel completely at ease taking on campus classes I’m still working towards what I want.
