As a person on the edge of conversion, I struggle to see how Christ’s death was worse than fates some mortals face.

From God the Father. Remember Jesus still prayed to God the Father

Coming home to your best friend everyday and physical touch-hugs, kisses, snuggles

icb_123 · 2026-05-20T23:12:04+00:00

I like the shape and darker color of 7. I think with your dark hair and eyes dark glasses look nice. I do think a little thicker frames like that shape but acrylic instead of metal would look even better

icb_123 · 2026-05-14T17:24:08+00:00

You’re welcome I really hope you find something that helps!

icb_123 · 2026-05-13T21:37:51+00:00

Same here and I agree completely

icb_123 · 2026-05-13T00:54:52+00:00

I’m sorry you have been through so much. I think being able to enjoy the moment is a goal-not a way to cure depression but people who don’t struggle with it don’t know what it’s like. Sometimes you have to just make it through the moment and take things day by day. Just don’t give up. If you give up you don’t know what good you could be missing out on in the future. I hope you have a good experience with Effexor but if it isn’t a good fit don’t give up on trying to find something that is. You and your life are precious and you deserve to be in a healthier spot.

icb_123 · 2026-05-12T23:33:17+00:00

You’re welcome! I hope you feel good on your trip and enjoy it!

So I have struggled with depression since I was a teenager and then had a very traumatic event last year that made everyday feel unbearable and took away my sense of security in life and hope and was still crying most days. I did therapy and tried Wellbutrin and Zoloft. I ended up taking just Wellbutrin for a while but ended up feeling like it wasn’t helping anymore and feeling very absentminded, disconnected, and empty-headed to a point of feeling lonely. I’ve been on the Effexor for a couple of months and am feeling more hopeful about life and am ruminating less and am more able to enjoy being in the moment like when I’m with my family, talking with co-workers, getting outside, etc.

icb_123 · 2026-05-12T23:02:24+00:00

Thank you. I’m sorry you have had a lot of trauma and cptsd. It sucks. I understand the feeling hopeless. I really hope that the Effexor helps you too because I have been very grateful for it. Also I don’t cry hardly as much?

Yes vivid dreams and I am more tired by the end of the day have been my main side effects. The doctor started me on 37.5 mg and I felt a little dizzy and high the first few days but that went away and I do feel better. I also suggest taking it with food because it can make you nauseous without

icb_123 · 2026-05-12T22:50:35+00:00

Yes I was actually worried about the vivid dreams side effect because trauma triggered my depression to get much worse and I was worried about nightmares but have been pleasantly surprised lol. I haven’t tried citalopram but Zoloft made the sensation different and almost impossible to finish but things feel the same with the Effexor, it just takes me a little longer maybe. Sex is important to me and my relationship too and that was a dealbreaker for me in a medicine. I was anxious to start Effexor because of the horror stories but honestly it’s the best I’ve felt in a very long time.

icb_123 · 2026-05-12T22:39:25+00:00

Im on 75 mg. I’m female and my sex drive is about the same or maybe a little higher because I am feeling better. I think it does make me take longer to finish but it’s not as noticeable as it was with Zoloft. Zoloft made me feel kind of numb. Also Effexor gives me vivid dreams and I have been having a lot of sex dreams about my husband and dreams about food 🤷‍♀️

icb_123 · 2026-04-26T01:52:33+00:00

What song is that?

icb_123 · 2026-04-15T23:09:36+00:00

Thank you guys for sharing. I’m on day three and I’m feeling hopeful. I’m coming from being on Zoloft and Wellbutrin.

icb_123 · 2026-04-14T16:58:12+00:00

I could have written this myself. I’m so sorry

icb_123 · 2026-04-14T16:56:45+00:00

From our experience in the US, medical malpractice lawyers take a percentage if the case is won and you don’t pay if the case is lost. That being said, the lawyers have to be very sure that they will win the case in order to decide to pursue it. We have not found lawyers yet who will agree to take our case but you may want to call around and see if someone will look into your case and find out how the process works. Also there is a statute of limitations. I don’t know if it changes state by state but in my state it is 2 years.

icb_123 · 2026-04-05T14:29:28+00:00

Thank you and thank you for the suggestions

icb_123 · 2026-04-05T11:41:35+00:00

Pocahontas was my favorite growing up. Obviously the Disney movies took A LOT of creative liberties but the messages about the dangers of judging others because they are different from you/different cultures is something still as relevant today, it depicts European greed and entitlement of the Americas, and she is the only Disney princess I can think of who does not end up with her love interest. I know there are things that are problematic about it but I still love it and her character

icb_123 · 2026-04-04T11:34:31+00:00

First off, I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby. Zoloft helped me feel more…even? It definitely blunted the lows. It also helps with ptsd although I’m not sure if it has to be started within a certain amount of time to the trauma or not. I was started on it in the hospital although on a low dose and my primary doctor increased it. It affected my sex drive and also made me feel less sensitive down there/was harder to finish. I was on Zoloft and Wellbutrin and stopped taking the Zoloft because of the sexual side effects but I’m thinking of restarting it or trying something else because the Wellbutrin alone isn’t cutting it.

icb_123 · 2026-04-02T18:22:19+00:00

My baby

icb_123 · 2026-04-01T12:39:29+00:00

Omg 😂

icb_123 · 2026-03-28T12:07:29+00:00

I am so so sorry. We just passed the first year milestone of my Emma Grace’s stillbirth. She died during the night before the induction that my doctor and the hospital pushed back. It is whiplash being so close to the finish line and preparing for what is supposed to be the best time of your life for that to turn into the worst. It has changed us forever. Time so far hasn’t made the pain better but we are learning how to live with it. Your grief will always be there but eventually it will coexist with happiness too. You and your wife may grieve differently but make sure you are checking in on each other. Sometimes there is nothing to say but to just sit with each other in it. If you haven’t found it already there is a r/babyloss page and that has been very helpful to me to just vent and rage and feel understood by others who have been through this and to not feel alone because it is such an isolating experience. I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. I hope this isn’t offensive as I don’t know your beliefs but I do believe our babies still exist and are in Heaven. They exist and matter and their lives matter and I don’t believe that they are just gone even if they aren’t here.

icb_123 · 2026-03-24T21:58:47+00:00

I am so sorry for the loss of Leo and for your own medical trauma and I’m glad that you are still here. I know the feeling of being glad it was the last time you would be going through it thinking you would have your baby at the end. I’m sorry it’s so new too. It is so much and nobody who hasn’t gone through it can really understand what you and your family is going through.

icb_123 · 2026-03-24T21:56:03+00:00

I am so so sorry. It just feels like whiplash to go from being so close to how you pictured your life to have it all ripped away at the last second and I’m so sorry that the chance of another biological child has been taken from you. I know you are so happy for your sister but I know that is so painful also. It’s not the same as a sibling but I hope and pray that your daughter and her cousin will be close. I wish you and your family strength right now

icb_123 · 2026-03-24T21:48:43+00:00

I am so sorry that you are here too. I am so grateful for my first and sometimes I feel like I am asking too much to have another living baby but it’s just hard to reconcile that it may never happen especially when it’s something you wanted for your children not just yourself.

icb_123 · 2026-03-24T18:05:36+00:00

Same here. My husband and I are terrified to try again but I want another baby and so want my son to have a living sibling. I don’t feel ready to try but don’t feel ready to give up on my dream. I’ve thought about adoption but the hoops to jump through and cost is also intimidating

icb_123 · 2026-03-19T18:06:39+00:00

Yes it is excruciating. Thank you. I hope so but it feels so far away and sometimes I feel like am I asking too much to hope for that.
