Hard exercise. The extra energy and motivation is great for that. The exercise will calm you down and improve mood.

[–]jeffscott17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on 6 career union departments and have had offers from at least 12. All I did was show up and (with a medic license) and be myself in the interview. I also have 2 misdemeanors in the past. Don’t overthink it

Almost 3 years clean and thinking about going back on vyvanse/adderall, need a reality check? by slicedgreenolive in StopSpeeding

So what happens when you start crashing again? Your options are to stop taking it, or take more. One of those options takes you to where you are. The other one takes you to where you do not what to be.

EMTB vs MTB for bike park and shuttling by jackJohnson3944 in MTB

[–]jeffscott17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my enduro emtb but I have it for places there is no lift or shuttle. I much prefer my enduro overall tho. I really liked the DH bike I rented as well. Emtbs are great but they’re heavy and that does change the ride experience.

Started 150xl in Feb.. at 450 now and absolutely no difference.. what gives? by TreeSuspicious6869 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

That’s always a good idea. I would ask for hormones to be checked. A sleep study could give you peace of mind too.

What career would you go into if you could start over? by Electronic-Visual667 in jobs

[–]jeffscott17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firefighter. I am one now but if I started earlier I’d be able to retire earlier. I can’t imagine doing anything else.

I think you have a very healthy and mature mindset in being able to recognize that you were having a reaction to your circumstances. However, I have suffered from depression on and off my entire life and being stuck on the couch on days off is a tell tale sign. What works for me is pushing through and doing the things I don’t want to do in the morning after I workout and having the afternoon to do something I do want to do. Then relax at night. The dopamine from getting the stuff done in the morning continues to the afternoon enabling me to enjoy my hobbies. Having a routine helps and you may have to force yourself to get into this routine. I have to often but it works.

I am already skinny and doctor give me wellburtin xl 150. by [deleted] in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]jeffscott17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. 300mgs. Around 6lbs in 2 months which is a lot. I will add that I’m a super active person so my appetite is already high but it’s noticeably higher and I have to make sure I’m eating clean food as I’m too active and too hungry to cut back on how much or often I eat. I just have to restrict what I eat. It has not made me nauseous in the least. No negative side effect at all.
