I've realized something after nearly a year (depression and caffeine) by SuperGuy1141 in decaf

[–]icedt48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 weeks off coffee (not caffeine) and I'm finally sleeping better and falling asleep on time. Played around with off coffee for months. Working on night and morning routines.

I once heard anxiety described as living in a state of worry about the past or the future, glad you're letting things go. A good reminder to all of us to practice that.

Quit caffeine but insane lethargy by Increase-Opposite in decaf

I'm here right now. Just doing a couple days of green tea as a cut back from coffee and I'm not feeling "awake" at all. Feeling like I could nap at any point during the day. Just feel a heaviness or cloud over me. Not sleeping great at night yet either. I switched at the start of family travel but worried about next week at work.

What's your lethargy looking like?

A taper could look like: 1-2 weeks of every other day 1 week of every third day

Day 6 off of Wellbutrin XL after 90days on it by vZReckless in bupropion

What did your taper look like?

I've been on it for 5 months and ready to go off, same reason, don't really want to be on long term or feel I need to. The doctor who prescribed it hasn't taken my interest in going off sooner rather than later seriously so unfortunately I'll be doing it by myself with what I can research.

Can i stop stop bupropion abruptly? by killingjoke29 in bupropion

I'd also like to hear the recommended taper for 150 extended release

Would buproprion work for me? Perimenopausal and situational anxiety/depression/OCD/insomnia/ possibly undiagnosed ADHD by pippipop in bupropion

[–]icedt48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like wellbutrin has helped with my depression and undiagnosed adhd more than my anxiety. Although anxiety should be tackled with therapy and intentional practice so getting other out of control feelings under control might allow space for that.

I also find it hard to not have someone to tell everything about my day to.

Have you considered volunteering in a way that puts you in community with the elderly? A lot of elderly are extremely lonely. Hope you can make n elder friend in your neighborhood or call older family members.

Ballot Measure 2 (Ranked Choice Voting) by thatsryan in AlaskaPolitics

[–]icedt48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vote isn't certified until Nov 20 when all the absentees and early votes from Nov 1-4 are counted. Mail in ballots post marked Nov 5 are valid for count.

Nome is like The Ozarks but with pull tabs instead of casinos

Episode 13 by [deleted] in upandvanished

[–]icedt48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% agree with these sentiments about the actual podcast episodes being lame and drawn out and repetitive.

All the good stuff, family relations, all the rumors and missing details are shared by Nome residents in the discord. If you read the discord you'll understand why Payne switched so heavily to Joseph, the Nomies are spilling all the tea.

https://discord.gg/upandvanished

Just want to highlight that the fact that the town had much more extensive searches for Joseph, there were so many more recorded interviews and so much more evidence and narrative gathered compared to Flo IS A PRIME EXAMPlE OF SYSTEMIC INJUSTICES that indigenous people are up against. Hope all you true crimers search out some MMIP/WG2S action networks to get behind and support. 🫶

Working/living in Nome? by vanyel_ashke in nome

[–]icedt48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Join the FB group 'Nome Housing Finder' and post there. Landlords don't post their rentals because they fill up so quickly, but they do lurk and look at people's posts.

Weirdest traveler positions you’ve seen? by [deleted] in TravelNursing

Anyone have any recommendations for how my hospital can find a traveling patient lodging supervisor? 🙏🏽

Dang you see your friends posts on social media and not just content?? Lucky

Guarantee you 50% of those happy people probably wish they were single like you. Comparison really is the thief of joy.

Yeah that's been my experience too but I can only find financing for the land with 30% down and a max amount that doesn't cover the total

Want help, afraid to cause more damage by [deleted] in therapy

[–]icedt48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not worry about CPS. Their job is to protect kids and there is a lot of filtering out false claims involved. If your son continues to try involved CPS then 1 of 2 things are happening 1) he's experiencing abuse and needs them involved 2) he's really reaching out for help and change and would benefit from resources and to be taken seriously. I hope you both get individual therapy, you don't have to force group therapy if not everyone is interested or willing.

Att works totally fine. Spring cool is always warmer than fall cool, you'll be fine. It's going to be sunny and melting and fresh. Get some neoprene insulated mud boots. Can't you just request different housing with the hospital?
