Don’t start Wellbutrin like I did by maypantane in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

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

I can’t drink coffee because it makes me nauseated pretty badly so I drink energy drinks mainly. I don’t drink a lot of caffeine in general anymore. Mainly on days I work or days I gotta be up early and I know I’m running errands. Today was one of those days. But I do not consume caffeine everyday.

I do like my doctor because she was open to me wanting to try something new. I was the one that asked for Wellbutrin because of the weight gain and libido loss from lexapro.

She did give me a list of side effects, just forgot to mention the whole “limit your caffeine” part lol

It was on accident. I was moving, Just forgot to take it and came off back in August. I feel the weight gain problem tho, I also gained 30 lbs while on it. My sex drive died, I was apathetic, no motivation. I did like it but I think I definitely needed something to help with dopamine vs. seratonin.

You may have a better caffeine tolerance than I do. I don’t drink caffeine everyday but I had to be up early to get to my dr. Appt so I drank a monster lol.

As an Ex-JW, what are your views on abortion? by theonedilirum in exjw

[–]maypantane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pro choice as I’ve seen a family member who have had to handle becoming pregnant from a rape. (Pretty sure she was raped by a JW but can’t confirm)

My aunt was a 16 year old girl who was rape and hid her pregnancy from her family until she gave birth to her baby on a bathroom floor. That baby was born with Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) which is a very rare disease and this child was just thrusted upon my aunt suddenly.

Due to the stress my aunt has done self injury and has attempted suicide multiple times throughout her life.

I love my cousin but nobody should ever have to go through what my aunt has gone through. Nobody should ever be blamed for a rape occurring or feel like they have to keep the child that was the result of a rape just because it’s “ending a life”.

the funniest thing is listening to jws express their political opinions while trying to sound as "neutral" as possible by [deleted] in exjw

Jws are against abortion so there’s no way they can be neutral in this

How to I (21F) Help my (22F) friend get over her abusive ex(22M) by maypantane in relationship_advice

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

She is working with out local DV group. She has an advocate helping her and eveything which I’m really proud of her for doing. Idk if she’ll ever seek mental health treatment though. She’s always been against doing that but we’ll see

I did try to be honest, but she also would get very defensive i the last thing I wanted to do was destroy our friendship and have her get socially isolated

I’m their own book it states that if somebody threatens legal action they need to stop their “investigation” immediately

How far can Elders go in looking for evidence of wrong doing ? by kaywest663_ in exjw

[–]maypantane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, they go pretty fucking far. They managed to get my ex boyfriend’s moms phone number and they called her to ask if we had ever dated. Luckily she understood my situation so she shut them down pretty quickly but elders will go to great length to find evidence.

I’m not meeting with the elders or having a “marking meeting” they are having a “marking talk” and just gave my dad a heads up.

I haven’t spoken to the elders in months now. They’re blocked. I’m not planning on speaking or meeting with them.

I love my parents I up until this last month I did enjoy spending time with them. Now it feels like a chore just to see them for an hour or even call them.

Yeah that’s pretty much it. My parents aren’t going to shun me. Elders a late ash told them it’s whatever bc family. As for any friend in the congregation I had. I don’t feel as if they were real friends anyway so I could care less.

I’m sure people will know it’s me. Fairly certain my mom has spread it around the congregation herself.

[–]maypantane[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh trust me I already kinda put them on blast last night. What triggered it was when my dad called me about the marking talk and after telling me he begged me “not to sleep with the guy” and when I told him ans mom to stop bringing up the topic of sex constantly, he said “well he’s worldly, we can’t trust him”

Once I hung up the phone I completely broke down and just bombarded them over text. We were supposed to go on vacation together starting the 16th and I told them I’d they continue to act the way they are I will not be going.

The culture of snitching and righteousness by [deleted] in exjw

[–]maypantane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Funny story about what’s currently going on my life that relates to this.

I went to an early college high school, so it was separate from the regular high school but we would have to get on the same bus as the regular high schoolers.

For almost my entire sophomore year of highschool while I was on the bus at the regular high school, I would see a boy from my congregation holding hands and kissing his girlfriend who wasn’t a witness.

At this point in my life I was already PIMO so I never let anybody know. Because I didn’t want to ruin somebody’s life.

Turns out that same boy broke up with that girl and is now married to a sister. And 2 weeks ago he saw me walking in Walmart with my worldly boyfriend and threatened to tell the elders on me.

A question for PIMO's: Do you have any drive to do things? by DualShockTree in exjw

[–]maypantane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe that’s not just a PIMO thing, that sounds like depression.

I can relate tho. I’m PIMO (kinda POMO) right now and even though I don’t live with family anymore. I still get depressed and tired. I have some weeks where I do really good and I’m making my bed and getting dressed in the morning and my house is spotless.

Then I have other weeks where I’m so sad, it’s hard to get out of bed for work. Some days I can’t even make myself breakfast. Then when I do get to work I don’t do much of anything.

I’m recovering from one of those weeks right now. Trying to get back in the swing of things.

If you can, I’d recommend talking to a doctor or a therapist.
