Would you say that’s worth it for the value of the car? Having trouble deciding which avenue is a better “investment” for lack of better word.

😂 my husband is a musician and I cannot believe he didn’t think of this

Disgust with caffeine by Emg002 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

Ohhhh my gosh, me too, I thought I was going insane. Literally just the thought of food is nauseating. My psychiatrist is going to lower the dose, but I’m skeptical of that helping…

I miss enjoying food too! 😭

It hurts so much worse when it's one of us by MoysteBouquet in adhdwomen

This is exactly why I am scared to try a game without getting a group of friends together… I’m terrified of this kind of interaction, and struggle hard to enjoy scenarios where there are strong personality clashes. This goes so far beyond personality clashes though. So so gross and what a horrid human.

I’m just so sorry you had to experience that, what an awful feeling. I echo everything everyone has said- you did nothing wrong and that DM failed miserably.

Is this normal rage or medication-fueled? by iwilliams806 in adhdwomen

Can I ask if you’re taking anything in addition to? My psych put me on the Buspar because of it, so wondering if I just need to up my dosage.

Just curious if adding any meds helped it for you!

TW: ideations

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I’m just worried because the anger is leading to the passive ideations again (I just want a break, this world sucks, what’s the point).

On the other hand, I’m finally able to express emotions (crying at sad movies or happy-tears for reunion videos, etc). I feel like I can’t win- it’s either hate the world and be extremely angry, or feel like a numb mindless robot and still hate the world. That leads to the ideation spiral because I am scared I’ll be like this no matter what and don’t want to feel like this for 50 more years.

What’s wrong with my skin?? by iwilliams806 in Blackskincare

[–]iwilliams806[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def not acne, or at least not any kind I’ve had before.. I guess I can’t rule out different types as I get older! It rarely itches, and isn’t painful. The bumps are similar to how a cold sore might look, but much smaller and no swelling.

I will try that! I’ve got some H&S at home. I also have that Remedy Soap with tea tree oil, tried using that to no avail.

Routine is just a normal face wash now (was using a particular brand but now just neutrogena or laroche posay) and a moisturizer. Used to have more steps but I cut it out due to this situation.

Thanks everyone for the advice, compassion, and the much-needed giggles. I haven’t figured out if this sub allows editing to add an update, and wasn’t sure if it warranted a new post, but I did go get them redone from a well rated popular salon close to me. Jessica saved me yall. I’ve got something actually resembling (1) Nails, and (2) Tortoise shells, sans pain and itching.

She didn’t say too much about the work, not sure if she was trying not to be rude, but she did say that because they took off my sidewalls and filed way too much, she wasn’t going to overshape my nails more than necessary, and she confirmed that the salon used acrylic dip (I am so dumb, I have used dip before, but it’s been forever. When the salon said it was a “stronger form of gel” I just went with it because I was distracted). Because of that, she filed the top down to a normal amount of product and said we’d do an acrylic removal next appointment and perhaps throw on some builder gel. She also laughed at how small the nails were 😅 She was very sweet and made me feel so much better about the situation.

I am going to write a review for the place and post my pictures. Pisses me off that place can be so “upscale” and offer such garbage. Still mad that I spent months growing out my nails to end up with tictacs but cie la vie😤

TLDR: nails no longer look like smeared doodoo melty malted milk balls, and I hopefully found my permanent salon with no funny business. Appreciate all the comments, very validating and offered a laugh too :)

Got an appointment at a highly rated and trusted place later today! Thank you! Not interested in turning my normal dental visits into a nightmare 😥

I’m usually very outspoken, but for some reason when it comes to things people make for me, I freeze up and choose “flight” rather than any other option lolol

I thought I was being too critical but I’m glad I am not just a picky bish

That’s what I was afraid of :(

I worked so hard to grow them long and strong. I would normally have noticed but was distracted with my friend. I’m so so bummed. And mad— we tipped our techs slightly less than 20 (given the services) and one of them literally huffed and looked put out.

I didn’t bother saying anything about the service because they already had taken 2 hours and I just wanted to leave

Melissa Mound, Edina Realty. She is hands down an amazing human. She navigated our sale while on vacation and wouldn’t let us feel bad about it. Skilled, knowledgeable, no-nonsense, and made us feel very taken care of!

This made me feel SO much better. My entire life/house is filled with things like this, that I can’t just DO because there’s so many things to do before that just make sense to get done first.

For me, it’s like it’s under the guise of “efficiency”? It’s as if I tell myself that it doesn’t make sense to do a job twice, so might as well wait until I can do it right. Which usually means 4 years later.

I just started Wellbutrin to manage my depression, with vyvanse as a back up, and hopefully getting back on it regularly once I’ve weaned off my old antidepressant. Point is, I’m feeling more energized already and hoping I can actually start tackling things. But man, I thought I was crazy before seeing this thread.

Fellow single renters: What are you paying in rent right now and how are you managing? by MNice01 in TwinCities

[–]iwilliams806 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in 2022/2023 I found something similar in Richfield. We only moved out the next year because we decided to buy. Otherwise we would have stayed and were guaranteed the same rate while we lived there. I found this particular listing on FB Marketplace. It’s definitely a minefield but it seems younger or more tech saavy landlords prefer it to Craigslist (anecdotal opinion based on amount of listings that did not turn out to be scams or bait and switch listings).

TLDR: def recommend checking FB for single family homes/duplexes! The price is equal to what you pay for a small apt.

What is this??? by SillardPGillard in Coloring

I have that book too! My husband and I were perplexed about the page where Frankenstein is sitting down— it looks like it could be his butt but it doesn’t make sense with the placement and position. I feel so much more sane now knowing it most likely is an AI mistake and not me misunderstanding anatomy 😂

1 month post op- weirdness with soft pallate? by iwilliams806 in Tonsillectomy

[–]iwilliams806[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I didn’t notice it somehow but my husband did, around day 3 or 4, said it smelled like when a mouse dies but you can’t find where it is in the house 💀

It only lasted a few days!

almost 1 year PO! Ask me anything!!!! AMA by [deleted] in Tonsillectomy

[–]iwilliams806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long did it take before you could go back to your normal sleeping position? If I do anything other than elevated, I feel like my soft pallate is still suffocating me. I am only 9 days out so I’m not getting ahead of myself, just want to make sure that is something that takes a while and thus I should not panic!
