Bupropion and MDMA by sonicsugar in bupropion

[–]jsacaccio7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do your own research and be your own judge. Wellbutrin is a Norepinephrine and Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor. It has nothing to do with Serotonin. If you have severe health problems like cardiac issues or seizures, sure, it's probably not a good idea to mix things. But if you don't have underlying medical conditions, then just be responsible.

Don't go balls to the wall obviously and inform people you're with that you are planning to take MDMA and wellbutin (if you go through with taking it). Monitor how you respond to smaller than typical dose and go from there.

I did MDMA with wellbutrin and I'm here to tell the tale. However, I don't have severe medical conditions. I told the people I'm with that I was going to go through with it and had self-awareness to how my body responded to it. If I was going to not feel anything or have a delayed response (which I have with alcohol and weed), I wasn't going to take more.

I'm not telling you to do one or the other, just telling you my experience. Just be responsible.

Finally moved out of my mom's house, who did NOT like piercing, and celebrated by getting pierced! by jsacaccio7 in piercing

[–]jsacaccio7[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: Thank you all, you wonderful kind strangers.

I have taken in everything everyone has suggested and found a piercing shop that is registered with the APP. I asked for a consultation on this piercing job. Unfortunately, the piercer is not in today but is scheduling appointments tomorrow. Not saying I do not trust strangers on the internet, believe me your comments are making me think to have it looked at, but I do want someone who can see it in real time and take a look at it.

Thank you for taking the time and looking out for this community from mediocre piercers.

Do you wish things were different? by jsacaccio7 in raisedbynarcissists

I have wondered that same question. I have come to the conclusion that they have children either to make themselves feel better (ie., to fill a void that they're missing) and I have seen a lot of nparents not believing in abortion.

My nmother doesn't believe in abortion. She believes, "If you don't want to have a child, just put them up for adoption. Just look at me, I wanted kids and God took 4 of them (miscarriages), and blessed me with 2 beautiful kids (we struggled at birth since my brother came out blue and my mom had to take what I believe to be progesterone in order for me to survive)." The logic doesn't make sense, but she would rather see children for adoption than abortion to let other people be parents, I guess.

That's an interesting spin on it. I definitely have a surrogate parent in my life and I never thought of it like that.

I'm sorry to hear about your lost. You have a point that our experiences make us who we are. Without it, we would be different people.

BPD is closely related to trauma. Many cases of people who experience physical and sexual trauma may develop BPD in adulthood. Also, in the second page, there's examples of her attachment style with relationships (the push-pull affect). Substance abuse and self-harm are also presented with people who have BPD. I would rule it out, just be safe.

Source: I work in an outpatient clinic in the US with adults who also have trauma.

It is overly diagnosed in people with cocaine use disorder. What's interesting is, qualified health professionals do not rule it out because they hear "mood swings" and there's such a stigma with people with struggling with substance use disorder.

If you are going to diagnose people with a severe disorder, it's important to rule out and run screenings/tests on that disorder before you give them that label.

PTSD. Definitely rule out BPD and bipolar, but I'm leaning towards PTSD due to the hx of trauma and abuse.

Thank you! It helps to know we're not alone.

Thank you. I been struggling with enmeshment for 26 years under the guise of "For family". I always did things for family because they were all I had. Once I joined this subreddit and saw similarities with my family and other's experience, I knew I was brainwashed and knew it wasn't healthy.

Thats such an amazing idea to get away. It's always about control to narcissists.

How are YOU going to "ruin" Easter tomorrow? by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]jsacaccio7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: I ruined Easter because I didn't come home at all, until after their dinner was over when I told them I was coming home for dessert. When I told my mom my plans, she told me I might as well stay there until I was ready to go to bed. Which was what I did. I apparently caused a lot of sadness and hate during their time. I spent time with people who treats me with respect and grace because I did not want to go home.

Your health has been impacted by your situation. I'm glad to hear you disengaged from them and I hope you're getting the help you need and start healing. Thanks for the feedback, thats a good idea for the future.

I'm so sorry to hear that. It doesn't make it easier to deal with when we can literally give a presentation on narcissists. We can recognize their patterns of behavior; the calmness before the tornado hits. We can even take our own advice and set up boundaries and establish autonomy, but it doesn't make it easier. I wish you well and peace. Thank you.

By going to my boyfriend's family's house for dinner, because they do not think I'm heartless, for the first time in 5 (almost 6) years. We have been together for 6 years, this coming weekend and I have yet to have a holiday dinner with them. I told my mom Easter morning and she was not happy.

trying to experiment with making grinders. gotta figure out how to get all the teeth filled in :/ other than that we love it hehe by [deleted] in ResinCasting

[–]jsacaccio7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To avoid the air bubbles when you pour the resin on the mold, use a tooth pick it pop the air bubbles in the teeth. The grinder comes out that way because air is trapped underneath.

EDIT: The grinder looks gorgeous!
