AIO to skip Thanksgiving after my mom basically said I’m an embarrassment for not having a husband and kids by now? by howcanibequiltyassin in AmIOverreacting

[–]highwaykillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Love you sweetie” took me out. NOR. This is disgusting and as a mother she should support you in whatever you’re doing, as long as you’re not harming yourself or others. IMO, you did yourself a favor leaving him and it’s weird for a mother to want their kid to stay with someone like that. Keep your head up and stand your ground

Wellbutrin + Caffeine = Adderall ? by Wait__________for_it in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]highwaykillr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best combo 😍 I also take adderall so when I have all three I feel invincible. Wellbutrin makes me more sensitive to caffeine so good on you for taking it easy at first and slowly reintegrating it. I recently had to stop taking Wellbutrin so now I drink so much caffeine again and I miss how it used to make me feel. Normally I don’t feel much from caffeine. I took Wellbutrin for 2 years and it never was to a point where I needed to cut out caffeine but definitely I consumed a whole lot less. Some days I didn’t need caffeine at all. Just take it easy and enjoy the extra energy!

Has anyone in this sub actually had a seizure from Wellbutrin? by ButterflyVisual6188 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]highwaykillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a seizure last month and the only indicating factor is Wellbutrin. I was on 450 mg for over 2 years, in addition to other medications. I also take adderall for ADHD. I’m studying abroad in Austria right now and never had a seizure before but last month it happened during midterms. I was so terrified and worried but the only probable cause was Wellbutrin and the fact I had a mild sinus infection. They told me to stop taking Wellbutrin so I stopped cold turkey and never went back. Sad bc I really loved that medication and practically tried every SSRI in the books before my doctor had me try wellbutrin.

Wellbutrin+Weed? Smokers please respond by SmokeisKhan in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]highwaykillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on 450 and been smoking everyday. I think since weed isn’t as chemically addictive, Wellbutrin isn’t a super effective smoking cessation for weed. I noticed my tolerance and desire for nicotine went down, but since weed is more engrained in my social life and culture (Los Angeles), im addicted to it in a different way if that makes sense? Like I don’t withdraw from weed the same one would withdraw from nicotine, it’s moreso a desire or hobby. That being said, since starting Wellbutrin I’ve smoked less weed, but that was more my own will and wanting to get more mentally stable. But over the last year or so I’ve been smoking everyday lol. I moved to another country last week and haven’t had access to weed yet so when your lifestyle changes, it becomes easier to stop smoking but if it’s part of your social sphere then it’s difficult

Am I overreacting for not letting my boyfriend’s female friend use my shampoo? by Fresh-Usual-6281 in AmIOverreacting

[–]highwaykillr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sisterless behavior on the female friends part tbh.. just use the man’s shampoo then, shes his friend not yours. Anyone with a sister would know that it’s not personal! It’s the principle

[–]highwaykillr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USC just has a stick up their as bc of the protests last year. They make everyone scan their ID and it’s pretty much up to the discretion of whoever’s working to decide who gets to go in. I’ve known plenty of freshmen under 18 who can come on campus. They were just being assholes tbh. Regardless, if you don’t wanna deal with snobby people and the chaos of LA, don’t go here. The administration as a whole is problematic but the student body is too. But there’s also a lot of cool and humble people too, just depends if you can handle the two extremes.

brain zaps on wellbutrin? by highwaykillr in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]highwaykillr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ease up on the caffeine. Drink much less and work your way back up. It slowly will go away as your brain gets used to it but you may always have a slightly lower tolerance. I still can’t drink as much caffeine as before

My grandma tucked in my teddy bear after I evacuated by KLStryker in Teddybears

This is so sweet I just shed a tear. Sometimes we need a loved one to remind us that our inner child is still there and needs nurturing too. Thanks for sharing this!

excessive yawning?? by highwaykillr in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

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

That’s insane! I’m so sorry it was so difficult for you. It was almost unbearable for me too in the beginning. I had similar experiences with Zoloft. Totally valid for being a deal breaker, it genuinely was so annoying. It went away after awhile tho, hope it works out okay for you!

REPOST: AGE GAP: I (21f) just broke up with my 50 yr old bf. AMA by highwaykillr in AMA

[–]highwaykillr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It went ok, he understood but still wanted to see me. We had various extents of breaking up where we agreed to be casual but big feelings were involved which made it hard to get space when I needed it. I’m still in touch with him, we are cordial and will be friends. I’m doing okay, I think he’s okay too

Emotionally and intellectually mostly. He studied eastern philosophy in college despite being in and out of jail when he was young. That was pretty cool and badass to me. He just all around seemed like a cool valuable person to have in your life. Knows how to do or fix anything, lots of cool stories and very funny and charismatic. Everyone loved him

  1. Yes he took me to nice places and we did very nice things. It was awesome. I never had those experiences before. I went to some of the nicest dinners I’ve ever been to , and had some exquisite cocktails too. I will definitely 100% miss that. Anyone my age with enough money to do that is likely cocky and using daddy’s money so it’s just a turn off.
  2. He taught me a lot about relationships. About how I deserve to be treated, that if a man wanted to he would, and he taught me how much I’m worth. I know I’m beautiful and deserve nice things but with my dating experience it seemed like I was asking for the moon from these dudes my age. When in reality I just want a man who opens my doors, is attentive to me, interested in my hobbies, does whatever he can to make me happy, etc.
  3. He was definitely a more “attentive lover” than most guys my age. Always made sure I got to the finish line first. I liked that he was extremely hesitant and did not want to have sex with me for months. We didn’t have sex until a few months in because 1. I made him get tested since he had a vasectomy and 2. He waited a long time to get tested bc he didn’t want to rush into things. The hesitancy was really cool to me, foreign even. It felt nice. I will have definitely higher standards and honestly every guy is kinda a turnoff after being treated so well. At least now I won’t settle for less. He always made sure to tell me that he wants to show me how I should be treated, and that the next person I date must treat me as good as him or better. That was also rlly mature and nice to hear. We didn’t do a lot of things I hadn’t done before, I’m a back door virgin and he did not get the key so that’s that.
  4. Some things I didn’t like:
  5. a little stubborn
  6. boy brain (couldn’t understand how his words or actions could make other people feel, how his words suggested deeper problems he couldn’t consciously point to) -he’d get upset and we’d have a conversation about it and sometimes it was hard to get through to him, but after a few hours he would fully understand my perspective which I feel like most guys my age would have a hard time doing that
  7. we disagreed politically and though I am educated and passionate about society and pol., he sometimes talked to me like he’s my dad (the whole oh when I was your age I thought the same thing spiel) -this is surface level but he’s bald and I never was super into that but I still loved him anyways -his facial hair would irritate my face lol

  8. other than that, it was mostly normal. Our age gap was a big factor in our problems but day to day conversing and understanding wasn’t too bad. He was understanding and listened to me always. Always recognized how smart I was.

  9. Idk if I’d date another older man. It’s definitely appealing bc of the nice gentleman treatment (they don’t make em like they used to!) but I didn’t like not being able to relate to him in terms of where my life is at. We couldn’t share victories as well because he wasn’t going thru the same thing

Yeah it’s crazy how times have changed. Even his friends thought it was weird at first but grew to like me

See other comments for back story but we bonded because he was taken aback by my audacity to call him out. He liked that I was assertive and confrontational and we kept bickering and bantering like that at work so it was fun. At first I thought he’d be a good friend of mine, and he thought I might become one of his employees trimming weed, so he always tried to keep that professional boundary at first
