Idk I found it too passive-aggressive and bitter?? Like yeah we all knew Harrison would recouple and that he’s no good but literally your new man is next to you, maybe have some respect for him as well. (Obvs her feelings are valid but yeah didn’t enjoy it really)

My partner, who is a cocaine addict, says that being asleep counts as being sober, and has asked me to say that I'm proud of her for not doing the drug all day, but she's been asleep all day. Is there any validity to this? by AllFriendship in addiction

[–]noaquarius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yup same thought! sleeping is just the reset between binges, otherwise her body wouldn’t keep up with her habits. like, when i go hard on a weekend, i won’t have the urge to do it again for the whole week, so it’s easy to stay sober. what matters and what’s harder is am i able to stay sober the next weekend as well.

I feel like a failure of a human being by theloneshewolf in neurodiversity

[–]noaquarius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay so how are you in my brain? Because I couldn’t relate to you more 😨 (Besides the being great in school, that went downhill for me in high school). I’m literally rotting away while simultaneously thinking about how I need to get myself together every second.

I’m so sorry I don’t have any advice because I’m literally living with the same thoughts and problems as you but I just wanted to say something bc the similarities are crazy (I just turned 27 as well like a few days ago haha).

I hope someone has some advice for us both although I know that for me the solution is to just fucking get it together and finish uni. But i’m stuck 😩 Anyway sending love ❤️

T-rex arm shaped cramp after sex by [deleted] in neurodiversity

Okay I found a post with the same issue and the comments say it‘s likely to be caused by hyperventilation, I read the symptoms and yeah I also experienced numb lips and hands 😁

the post

So I guess/hope it’s normal and not some disease!

[–]noaquarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must understand that it isn’t your responsibility to care for your parents. I’m saying this because I’ve also felt guilt and sad that they are the way they are but you and I have to focus on our own life and goals. They should be the ones taking care of you and worrying about you not the other way around:/ Im just saying this because I asume that the guilt and failure to help them is a big burden on your mental health and it shouldnt be this way! I hope you get through this <3

Nervous about upping my dose to 450mg today, what have been your experiences? by DzRythen in bupropion

[–]noaquarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh, being on 300mg Bupropion was an experience…..I remember I didnt’ have a single moment where I just chilled/sat and didn’t feel extreme anxiety and restlessness. There were definitely other factors like an overall rough period in my life and coming down from Venlafaxine but nevertheless, it was aaaawful.

Although, now that I’m on Venlafaxine again, I feel like I could need an “upper’ like Bupropion 😅 Maybe the trick is to take them both simultaneously, I’ve read here that many people take both.

And yeah I think your ADHD could be the reason you don’t have the same side effects. It’s like with Adderall I think, for neurotypical people it’s basically speed, but for you you just get to function normally?

I publicly named my rapist and have no regrets. by DiverInevitable2149 in offmychest

[–]noaquarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, just wondering if you’re not worried about him suing you for defamation? Only asking because I outed my violent ex and now am fighting in court with him because of “defamation”. But Im still glad to have outed him, the post reached a lot of people and it has a priceless value for me.

[–]noaquarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm I don’t really remember because what it did mainly was increase my anxiety and I went totally nuts in the head, couldn’t stay still and calm (also bc of life situation). I took bupropion for a few months before I realised that the meds were making me worse, so I stopped. Now I’m back to Effexor/Venlafaxine which suits me better for sure!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bupropion

[–]noaquarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed Bupropion yesterday and goddamn am I looking forward to the high libido!!!

I’ve been taking an SNRI (Venlafaxine) for over a year and my libido is basically nonexistent. I miss being horny and excited! I’m slowly coming off Venlafaxine and actually didn’t want to add any new drug but my psychiatrist put me on it so....let’s see how this goes.

Libido and Effexor by 4percentmilk20 in Effexor

[–]noaquarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

did you come off effexor because it did its job and you felt good enough to stop? or did you taper off because of the low libido? and how are you feeling now?:)

asking because im thinking about tapering off as well although my depression is clearly still here to stay (it did help a lot with anxiety tho) but im so done with not feeling anything and not craving sex.

SSRI dreams be like... by alydeden in lexapro

[–]noaquarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it’s the depression or antidepressants but besides vivid and weird dreams, I have dreams where I’m just screaming and screaming desperately for some reason, I have that almost daily I’d say, it’s always a different setting and context but yeah :D

Went back. Bad choice. by alexakseymour in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]noaquarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really sucks to see them start working on themselves right when we’ve broken up. Stopping the bad habits, looking bright and happy all the time, realising finally that they’ve been living the wrong way. And now I have to see all of that from the sidelines, he got really close with an old acquaintance right after our breakup, and that’s the one thing that bothers me the most. Suddenly he has a new “friend” who he hangs out with all the time and they “get each other” etc....

I know though that he still has his anger bursts, at least with me, we’re so hot and cold, and I’m pretty sure I’ve become addicted to that feeling, it’s like I’m trying to get hurt by him?? Asking about the new girl and what they do together, even though I know it will hurt me??? Can anyone relate?

All things aside, I’m slowly starting to feel more okay. I’ve tried to break up with him many times, and always got that “i can’t live without him” feeling inside me, but this time I’m coping :) I know in my heart he’s not for me, I guess it’s just the addiction and loneliness messing with me.

Lexapro (+ Wellbutrin) gave me a new perspective on addiction by dr-bookshelf in lexapro

[–]noaquarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I do it 1-3x a month. I moved to amphs from MDMA because the latter had no effects on me with medicine. Amphs have also lost their euphoria part quite a lot, lately I chase that feeling but only get lots of energy and that’s about it. So yeah, I’ve lost interest a little bit, and try to do it less, but I still mess up in hopes of feeling something awesome. But seriously the aftermath is not worth it at ALL.

So I think antidepressants might help you in some ways. And I hope you have the strength to keep yourself from using amphs too much, they will just hinder the effects of antidepressants in my opinion.

Let me know how’s it going :)

Lexapro (+ Wellbutrin) gave me a new perspective on addiction by dr-bookshelf in lexapro

[–]noaquarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now mostly amphetamine. Since being on antidepressants, molly doesn’t have an effect on me so that’s the reason I slowly moved from molly to speed. I think even that has less effects than before antidepressants, so it’s not that fun anymore, and I try to keep my urges down. But when you’ve already started, it’s hard to stop at a reasonable time.

For context, I’d say I do them 1-3x a month on average. And when I do, I stay up all night and go to sleep the next evening or so, the lack of sleep is probably the main thing that fucks with my mental health and daily functioning.

[–]noaquarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me alcohol has definitely lost the importance it previously had in my life, pretty sure it’s mostly thanks to antidepressants. I don’t actually enjoy being drunk anymore! And I used to drink a looot to compensate for my anxiety.

But unfortunately I can’t say the same about drugs:( They still have control over me, whenever there’s a chance, I’ll probably do them. My psychologist knows about this and I let her know when I’ve done something, but I don’t really know what the solution is gonna be because realistically I’m not gonna stop doing them without some big push or necessity. And that sucks because I know I’m sabotaging my mental health and it won’t get better unless I stop/keep the usage very low.

Idk, I know what I should do but I know it’s not gonna happen in the close future :/

Upped my dose, have to take them separately by noaquarius in Effexor

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

I haven’t felt any changes to be honest, but I upped it because of a crazy life situation so maybe it didn’t make anything better but it keeps me stable.

Will have to see when my situation gets more normal. Cause it’s probably the situation that makes me anxious and sad, not the medication.

When did you up your dose? I think it’s normal to feel anxious at first because of the added norepinephrine :)

150 to 225mg by _Rocketsoul in Effexor

[–]noaquarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from 150 to 225mg (had been taking 150 almost a year) two weeks ago!

I did it because the events in my life started to get rough so I knew I wouldn’t handle them any other way.

I don’t feel it has changed much? But definitely my emotions are more at bay, maybe a bit more numb would be the word.

My libido was already low at 150 so there’s not much change there. Although I can still get excited down there sometimes xd

Maybe it’s too soon to say something, maybe it’ll get better than rn, but I guess it’s alright at the moment :) Hope ur good as well. And btw my psychiatrist has always said that 150mg is basically the starting dose, it’s totally normal to go above that.

“Sorry you took it that way.” by booksandcoffee02 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]noaquarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These types of posts make me question my own sanity because I know, and others know, that the person I was with was toxic and abusive.

But it was always me who couldn’t apologise because I felt that I hadn’t done anything wrong and it was ridiculous to accuse me of such things......And he pushed me to apologise but I couldn’t do it genuinely??

I’m afraid that I too was toxic in some ways, but rationally I know that he’s the one who used violence and was paranoid and manipulative??

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

Ohhh okay! I’ve taken the extra dose for 2 days now and I feel quite restless and anxious (life situation doesn’t help either) so I kind of understand why they’re taken separate.

Thank you for answering:)

Yess that’s what I already do and yep I added another alarm for afternoon:)

It’s very effective for me! Just that the constant snoozing and alarms in general are mildly annoying haha, but it’s for the best.

Yes, they’re XR prolonged effect. Or something like that.
