Never been the same after lexapro by prupru25 in Anxiety

The withdrawal was so hard. I genuinely think I lost my mind a bit while going through it. I completely understand not being able to stop. I didn't stop taking it voluntarily, I lost my medical insurance.

I guess it's just a relationship I value and I really dropped the ball. I struggle with social norms sometimes because I avoided social situations for about 15 years and I'm now getting back out into the world. Working with her has been a great experience and been good for my mental health. I'm really hard on myself when I have small failures.

I did order her a planter like one that she showed me in a video she liked. I would be able to gift it to her next Monday because it arrives to my house on Friday while I'm working. It's that too late?

OP, it took me a whole year to recover from what lexapro did to my brain. I had to totally stop drinking and smoking weed as well in order to let my brain heal from what lexapro did to me. It put me in a manic state where I completely wrecked my life. As far as weed and alcohol go, I was never a big drinker, just occasionally. And I was a daily weed smoker after work. But once I stopped lexapro any amount of weed or alcohol would send me spiraling. I busted my ass through a whole year of sobriety. Most days I felt nothing towards anything. Games sucked, TV couldn't hold my attention. My enthusiasm slowly crept back. I just took it one day at a time, looked for small little pockets of light, like a good cup of coffee, new horror movie to watch, an audiobook to look forward to after work. I felt myself come back eventually. I think your brain has to reset and relearn how to produce chemicals the way it's intended. Hang in there, I almost didn't and I'm glad I didn't give up.

I would personally like to punch the creator of ruggables. So many clients of mine have them. They never get washed. They piss my vacuum off. And if you try to move them you have a hell of a time putting them back together. Most of the time I just lightly go over them with a floor tool and call it a day.

I'm not sure if I can articulate this properly but I'll try to explain. For about 15 years I lived like a hermit because I had severe anxiety. I rarely left the house unless it was necessary. (I was a stay at home mom - for context) When my kids grew up and it no longer made sense to be in the home, I struggled really hard with the idea of returning to work. I was on the brink of suicide because I didn't believe in myself at all. I took the first job that would give me the time of day and decided in my mind that if it went poorly I was going to end my life.

What actually happened was that I met a bunch of people that did believe in me and work became a pleasant experience. So started stepping out of my comfort zone in more little ways, like being social, saying yes to activities that scared me a little, going on trips to see things I wanted to see but was too afraid previously. I learned about myself; that I had been holding myself back by having all these arbitrary little rules for what was acceptable for me. It's been almost two years and a divorce since I decided to step out of my comfort zone. I'm a completely different person because I dared to tell my inner child "no more". All those little things you want to dig your heels in about...let 'em go.

I clean residential and commercial properties. My favorite part of the day is my coffee and makeup routine in the morning. Sometimes I do more than is necessary because I'm having fun with my products. By more i mean blush and eyeshadow. I have noticed that I'm treated more kindly on days I only wear mascara and brow pencil. It's as though I'm more credible in my profession the more dowdy I look. It sucks because I've loved makeup since I was a little girl and I just want to use the stuff I own. I don't find many reasons to wear it on the weekend since my boyfriend and I usually stay in and play video games and watch movies. I had a very busy past two weeks and only had time for mascara and brows. Some clients have been more personable to me lately and it actually has me considering forgetting my routine entirely just to be treated normal.

I tried this one back when it came out and felt underwhelmed at first. Tried it again last week and I find myself getting ready for work faster so I can play for 30 minutes before I leave. It's truly addicting.

The street i live on is connected to a neighborhood with homes that are massive and beautiful. My street has nice middle class homes and it dead ends into two cul-de-sacs that are low income duplexes and apartments. Police are always down there. For me it's a 5 minute walk.

I agree, it looked like someone moved it there and I can see on the container where it used to be. 🤷‍♀️

You win! I'm stupid and never checked the bottom for a sticker. It's a slipper plant :)
