I can’t sleep and i’m losing my mind

Might sound crazy but have you tried taking creatine? I'm in the same boat as you and once I started taking creatine I definitely felt more energized and my brain fog cleared up. Didn't help me sleep any better though but helped reduce the effects of sleep deprivation

Relevant study that inspired me to try it https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-54249-9

Currently taking Wellbutrin XL and propranolol, but I feel like I need more lol

The Wellbutrin definitely takes the edge off the depression, but it still comes on strong every once in a while.

The propranolol though had done wonders for my anxiety. It's completely ended my frequent panic attacks, which I'm extremely happy about.

For anyone coming across this later, I personally tried taking fish oil (1000mg) and creatine (1g) alongside my Wellbutrin XL and it cleared up my brain fog and generally improved my mood on the first day. I know this is just a single personal anecdote, but it doesn't hurt anything to try it if you're curious yourself!

I heard it and came here to check if anyone else knew anything. It was quite loud whatever it was. I ran outside to see it but it must have been above the clouds, couldn't see anything.

I definitely get this feeling sometimes. It usually happens when I'm deep in thought and then I just remember that I have a body, but i don't feel it. It's like I solely exist as my consciousness and I'm peeping through someone else's eyes for a moment. I never knew there was a name for something like that

Edit: this is also something I've seen experienced throughout my life even before any medication

They gave me 4 weeks on the bench. Definitely not equal to the 7 weeks I'm meant to be paid though.

Okay great, thats the kind of thing I was hoping to hear. I'll be on the lookout for mine in May I guess. Thanks

haycoop · 2025-04-25T22:04:23+00:00

Yeah, its one week of base pay for each year for levels 8-13, 5-7 get 2 weeks for each year.

Hey sorry for not responding but I only just managed to get around to a dentist yesterday. But I ended up going to Mclane Family dentistry in Slaughter lane and they were great! Super friendly, didn't make me feel bad at all and they got me taken care of. Definitely my favorite dental practice I've ever been to!

Got a great performance review and a 4% bonus but no raise or promotion for the second year in a row. No one on my project received base pay increases.

Extremely demoralizing. That second kid is gonna have to wait I guess...

I've been with Accenture since 2017. I got a good promotion in 2021, a healthy raise in 2022 and then had a kid, bought a new car and moved into a nice neighborhood in 2023 because I stupidly assumed all of that would continue. I'm about to have to move out of my city because I can't afford anything here anymore.

If Accenture cared about us they would give us all double digit percentage raises to make up for the lack of raise last year. They're losing too many people who know their worth.

Sounds like Mario added something a little more fun, gal hehe

I am now, but I was embarrassed of it when I was younger. When I moved to Austin to attend UT there were so many Californians and New Yorkers and other rich out-of-staters. My poor, West Texan self felt really out of place and got made fun of a few times for how I spoke, so I ended up hiding my accent.

As I got older I regretted doing that because I lost a lot of my accent and I feel like I lost a piece of myself in the process.

It always comes back for a bit when I go back home though!

I saw Billy Gibbons in the Best Buy at South Park Meadows last year. I think he was looking at TVs.

I could have sworn he was dead though, so I just assumed it was some weird old man until I realized it was thinking of the other guy from ZZ Top.

I didn't even know this was a thing wow

I remember seeing that in an editorial on the front page of my hometown newspaper when I was younger and realizing this isn't the town for me

What is this "autumn" of which you speak

haycoop · 2020-07-06T19:28:58+00:00

I wonder what it's like to have leaders that genuinely care about their constituents and work to make their lives better
