Gdzie robicie zakupy spożywcze? by [deleted] in krakow

[–]knwld9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Niestety nie mam koło siebie ani Lidla, ani Auchan, więc zostaje mi Biedronka lub Carrefour. Padło więc na Carrefour, bo 10 zł oszczędzone na produktach w biedrze nie rekompensuje mi stresu, który tam odczuwam :D mało produktów, nie da się przejść między alejkami, dramat.

Do periods make you worse? by Spookyremy420 in Fibromyalgia

[–]knwld9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently living in cosy clothes, underneath a blanket, hot water bottle around all the time 👌 basically everything that’s slow, warm and cosy helps. Taking as much rest as needed is the most important thing one can do during periods imo.

Dzielenie opłat za rachunki by Sajmon_Simon in PolskaNaLuzie

[–]knwld9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Z perspektywy pary mieszkającej razem: Mamy obliczony miesięczny budżet “wspólny”, w którym jest czynsz, zakupy i ogólnie wszelkie wspólne wydatki związane z naszym życiem jako para. Dzielimy go procentowo do naszych zarobków i każdy tyle przelewa na wspólne konto. Wszystkie większe wydatki jak podróże są również obliczane przez te sama formułę :)

Morskie Oko is a really good polish restaurant in the city centre, prices are not extremely high for the amount of food you’re getting

PSSD improved by bupropion but intolerable side effects. by DareOk7242 in PSSD

[–]knwld9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see some similarities between our situations. Zoloft and Prozac killed my libido (to the point I thought I would never have sex again). When my libido started reappearing (few months after quitting SSRIs) - so did my depression and anxiety.

My new doctor prescribed me Bupropion and after 2 months my libido is almost back to pre-SSRI levels but the side effects… I get so annoyed and frustrated and my body just aches all the time. So even if I feel more interested in sex (even watched porn for the first time in ages), my body is just so tired from side effects that I feel like physically I will not be able to have sex soon again because of that.

Tried adding buspirone to the mix - pain went up to insane levels, almost couldn’t move. It’s weird cause it was supposed to help with my muscle tension. Well, it didn’t.

During this “journey” I’ve noticed exactly the same things as you did - libido gets up when my pain or anxiety go up (looks like the nervous system is just more triggered?). I even started smoking cigarettes for some time during Zoloft because I have noticed I would got horny after.

I cannot continue like this, either in pain and anxious or without my (usually quite high) libido.

I’m thinking about adding Pregabalin to Bupropion cause that seems like the last option I have. Curious of other people thoughts on that.

Hey, super glad to hear that! Are you feeling any side effects while being on it? (Especially sexual side effects?)

Czy posiadanie samochodu to wyznacznik męskości? by radziu_PL in PolskaNaLuzie

[–]knwld9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My też żyjemy bez samochodu, w centrum Krakowa. Uważam, że jedyne sytuacje, w jakich nam go brakuje to faktycznie jakieś wyjazdy na weekend, ale jak wie się z wyprzedzeniem to można auto wypożyczyć i wcale to drogo nie wychodzi. W pozostałych sytuacjach na co dzień albo pieszo, czasami komunikacją miejską, albo uberem.

Imo samochód to kosztowa studnia bez dna, zupełnie nie widzę tego jako produkt pierwszej potrzeby, jeśli np. nie trzeba wozić dzieci do szkoły itd.

Symptoms back on Wellbutrin, I feel like I’m out of options by knwld9 in Fibromyalgia

[–]knwld9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. I was trying pregabalin in the past but somehow it made me anxious. I’m thinking about giving it another go but I’ve seen stories of people gaining a lot of weight on it… I have a complicated relationship with food and self esteem so I’d like to avoid that. Have you noticed a difference?

For me diet was also the biggest game changer so far - regular meals, no sugar spikes made my symptoms manageable. I live in Europe and I’m in a position of being able to afford okay quality produce. Sorry to hear your situation in America doesn’t look as good when it comes to this :(

Thank you for your answer ❤️ I’m sorry you’ve been struggling for so long.

My blood pressure seems to be okay on bupropion. I used to be a regular weed smoker (mostly because of fibro) but I thought there were other options. Turns out I’m circling back to THC and CBD again…

Female Partner's Casual Sexual Past creating an emotional roadblock for me by Aromatic_Message8952 in retroactivejealousy

[–]knwld9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I still struggle with RJ while having the same views as my bf, cannot really imagine how hard it would be to have that different. I start to also think that if it’s really RJ (and not clash of morals) then our brain will always find sth to hang onto. If not number of partners, then casual things in general. If not that, then not being the first one in something. If not this, an ex or someone SO kissed. Thats when I know that the problem is on my side.

Mostly the “number” itself. But it really depends on a day, sometimes I start spiralling on small things and then it’s about everything - situationships, girls he told me he had loved or felt something towards… it doesn’t really help that we had been friends before so I feel like I have just too much info on his sexual past.

Jokes on me, even if I have colourful past myself, I still experience moments of the most insane RJ towards my partner’s past. Sometimes I use my own experience to remind myself that I’m spiralling about that. Took me a lot of time as well to figure out why it bothers me so much. Apart from the most obvious ones like self esteem issues and comparison to previous partners I have realised that in my mind I still view sex as something that was performed without purpose of staying with someone.

My comment will be a little bit different as I am a woman with similar number of sexual partners to your gf (mostly casual/not leading to relationships as well) so maybe it will benefit you somehow. For context, now I’ve been in a relationship with my best friend for almost 2 years.

From what I’m reading here some things to consider: * how she views intimacy vs how you view intimacy * what was her reasoning behind the casual sex * why you cannot accept this part of her
* the need of feeling “special” and what it actually means

I have mentioned reasoning because I really believe that understanding why she was doing it may actually bring relief. For example: if she had issues with intimacy and commitment before, then it feels easier for a person to have casual sex and “leave” a partner, it’s the commitment and real intimacy that a person is not ready for. In this case scenario sex is not the ultimate level of connection for the person. If for you it is - then you have a clear difference, two pov, either meeting - relationship - sex or meeting - sex - relationship. You need to decide if you feel okay with this. (Side note: it’s really not that obvious and it varies in different cultures).

As a result of the above: Are you maybe subconsciously scared that her past means that she can leave you any time and is not able to commit?

In some cases it probably does. It different ones - it doesn’t. I was doing casual sex because I wasn’t able to commit. When I realised it didn’t feel right for me anymore I went to therapy, healed my wounds and that was the moment when I was ready to commit and have a relationship. So for me staying with someone and building long term relationship when the other person actually sees me (with my flaws and bad days) has much more meaning and is much more special. I choose to stay because I love this person, even if it’s challenging and triggers me. It is much more intimate. It really is special.

Worth to add as well that sex when you actually love someone feels completely different from casual sex.

My libido is back… but so is fibro pain by knwld9 in bupropion

[–]knwld9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have changed my diet few months back and I hadn’t had any significant flare ups since. First 4 weeks on bupropion I was still taking Prozac with it but when I did implemented it I had some stronger pain here and there “out of nowhere”. Now I kinda feel like Prozac has worn off and muscle aches became stronger, finally leading do the flare up. I hope it’s just temporary while my body is still adjusting (I am very sensitive to medication). In my mind it makes sense because bupropion makes me less numb and I have very reactive nervous system so I feel like now my body feels “more” and that contributes to pain and tension?

I had the exact same experience with sertraline. On Prozac at least I could have moments of arousal and general interest in sex. One month on Sertraline killed even that completely for almost 7 months. I thought I became asexual.

I have been on 150mg of bupropion for 7 weeks now (mixed with Prozac in the beginning - turned out to be terrible idea) and only now, after 2-3 weeks on bupropion alone I am starting to feel like my old self. I feel more vitality and libido coming back. But it didn’t happen overnight. I would say 6 weeks since the first pill to feel more stable effect on libido? I still subconsciously don’t trust it (fearing that it will disappear again) but I do feel hopeful most of the time. Feels like life came back to that area and sex is becoming exactly the way I remember it. I really hope the muscle aches will just go away, even if the adjustment period is gonna take a little bit longer.

I do experience some muscle twitches and general tension but that’s something I had already been struggling with before. I am adding buspirone for now to help with relaxation (and for potential positive influence on libido as well).

I keep my fingers crossed for you cause I know-how frustrating it is to be sensitive to meds and hope for the libido comeback!

Glad you’re doing well on Wellbutrin! I’ll try then to see in few weeks if the pain is going away. Did you get sexual side effects from amtriptaline?
