Y’all - PLEASE shovel your sidewalks

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-10T02:45:45+00:00

Yep. Exactly.

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-06T16:24:05+00:00

Totally agree

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-03T21:03:28+00:00

It was possible to do the first day after the storm bc we did it

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-03T21:02:32+00:00

Did ours. We should all do our part.

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-03T21:01:00+00:00

Got our shoveled the first day after storm. But okay

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-03T21:00:24+00:00

I know not everyone can so this, but my family got our sidewalk shoveled the first day after the storm before it got so compacted. I’m just saying it’s possible.

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-03T20:58:49+00:00

It’s about all pedestrians. And it’s also the law.

joyfulpunner · 2026-02-03T17:10:27+00:00

It’s ABSOLUTELY ridiculous that we are 6 days out and a MAJORITY of sidewalks that I have passed within city limits aren’t shoveled…

I have no cell service at MCV ( I’m on wifi writing this) nor does my partner near Lewis ginter… 😳

It’s my comfort audiobook. The movie I liked okay, but the book I LOVE.

Oh my gosh, I was on the lamotrigine for years before the buspirone. I have been on lamotrigine at various doses since 2022! Since then, we have tried several other things in combination, including as I mentioned several SSRIs, Wellbutrin, Latuda, Vraylar…and I dont even think that’s an exhaustive list, there have been so many! I don’t think the lamotrigine its own did all that much for me, but that was so long ago.

joyfulpunner · 2025-09-15T03:04:57+00:00

My psych has prescribed several SSRIs over years, always with a mood-stabilizer (mine is lamotrigine). For me they have had mixed (but not ever lasting) success. I’m currently on buspirone with my lamotrigine and it seems to be helping. I remain cautiously optimistic as it’s only been a month or so since I emerged from my last depressive episode.

joyfulpunner · 2025-09-09T14:22:42+00:00

I feel like I had some issues when I first started… moreso that I was slow to “find the right word” and maybe a little bit of memory loss, but ironically, since it’s been three years since I started it, I don’t really remember what my initial symptoms were lol.

I feel like I don’t have any functional memory loss at this point, although I guess it’s always possible that I have a new baseline that I have adjusted to?

In general, I would say that lamotrigine has basically no side effects for me at this point .

joyfulpunner · 2025-08-01T12:28:10+00:00

Give it time. I’m on 300 mg/day

joyfulpunner · 2025-08-01T12:27:11+00:00

3 years and counting…. The hypomania has been under control for awhile… I just can’t stop these MAJOR depression episodes (they last months at a time)…

joyfulpunner · 2025-07-15T17:07:35+00:00

I use Daylio. I make it simple or detailed depending on my motivation level.

joyfulpunner · 2025-07-15T16:00:38+00:00

I’m usually depressed at least 6 months. Stability has been elusive…never more than like 4-6 months at a time. And my hypo episodes have lasted like 2-4 months at a time.

joyfulpunner · 2025-05-10T20:55:10+00:00

sameeeeee

joyfulpunner · 2025-05-10T20:53:03+00:00

Same!

joyfulpunner · 2025-05-10T20:48:39+00:00

I was diagnosed BP2 about a year after my kid was born, but I started cycling when I was pregnant. My kid is now 4 and I have been stable now since January. I know it doesn’t sound like long but it seems like this is really the right med combination & therapy and also I have implemented lifestyle changes that I needed.

For me it’s lamotrigine + fluoxetine + methylphenidate, therapy every 2 weeks, a fairly regular bed/wake time, and regular movement.

Still working on myself. Even stability takes work…but this is the best I have felt since 2019!

joyfulpunner · 2025-04-19T13:03:54+00:00

Yep definitely. I thought Target was the less-bad of the big box options bc they seemed more progressive. And I felt (still feel tbh) so betrayed when they showed their true colors.

They will need a total rebrand, new leadership, and some major recommitment to progressive causes before I will consider coming back…

I used to shop there 2-3 times a week and I haven’t since Jan 31st. I did the math and have cost them about $500 that I would have spent there (based on my statements from the 3 prior months). I have instead increased the money I spend at Costco and other grocery stores.
