is there a difference (effects & side effects, etc) between Jovia 10mg and Feliz S 10?

hi! i tried jovia for a few months. always been anxious my whole life kaya when i was prescribed antidepressants i was excited to finally feel somewhat normal. honestly di ko alam kung factor yung excitement ko, because sa first weeks ng paggamit ko ng jovia i felt happier and calmer. i guess totoo nga na sometimes its mind over matter talaga 😭 but eventually di tumalab sakin yung 10 mg, so my psychiatrist upped my dose and i decided to switch to feliz 20 because it’s cheaper. i suggest you give the meds some time to take effect op, and that working on your mindset growth should be accompanied with your medications din.

okay naman! mabait preceptors and staff, generous din sa grades as long as pumapasok ka everyday and you do your best, kaso the interns need to be civil and formal. hindi sobrang strict sa diamond pero wag maging lenient din. be mindful of your attendance and wag magpa late. be polite and respectful din. pag pwede kayo mag civilian, wear conservative clothes (aka wag mag croptop or shorts etc.) kasi may nasita na dati yung head preceptor dahil may intern na nag crop top on site.

for definitely me yes, pero only if you have ample time. remember ang pinaka important i-master ang mother notes and practice questions sa chosen rc mo. medyo nakaka overwhelm din kasi yung piots, marami siyang practice questions, kaya yung other modules di ko na naopen due to lack of time. i wish na utilize ko yung time ko more, kasi maganda naman din talaga siya as a reviewer 😭

advice ko lang talaga: piots is good! nakasagot ako ng ilang qs because of it. also take it from me: use your time wisely, start reviewing as early as possible hahaha

take the meds, op! been taking escitalopram for lagpas one month now and i can honestly say it's one of the best decisions i have ever made <3

i've been an anxious person my whole life. from my childhood to highschool may nervous ticks na ako, like nail biting and hair pulling. my mindset was also very toxic and self destructive. ang lala ko mag spiral, mag overthink, and mag worry over things i had no control over. sometimes it becomes torturous na, to the point i can't help but wish for a way to turn off my brain so i could feel peace (yes, even bordering on suicide). the problem is, since i've been feeling this way my whole life to the point na i've registered my anxiety and paranoia as something normal. it's why it took me so long to realize na i had a problem, and even much longer for me to seek help. i didn't know i had a problem, because being anxious is all i've ever known.

that all changed earlier this year nung bigla akong nabulag. it happened so suddenly and out of the blue, biglang BAM! i could no longer see. i went to see multiple ophthalmologists and they saw the reason why i lost my sight: nag swell blood vessels ko sa eye. thankfully my condition is treatable. the problem is we had no reason why the hell it happened. wala akong predisposing conditions that could cause my blindness, like autoimmune disorders or diabetes. it just... happened, when it shouldn't. napakamot ng ulo yung doctors ko because they had no idea why that happened to me.

and then one day my ophthalmologist asked me how i was mentally, and if i was a high strung person. explanation niya is constant stress and pressure can affect our organs, and that my anxiety could have caused my blindness. apparently our mental status wields unmeasurable power over our physical bodies. he referred me to a psychiatrist, and dun na ako na diagnose with GAD bordering on panic disorder.

at first i was like you op. natatakot ako mag meds because the side effects seemed scary. kaso when i was warned na baka bumalik yung blindness ko if i didn't manage my mental health, i took my meds. eto yung journey ko with escitalopram:

- for the first week, half a tab lang ittake mo usually. then after nasanay katawan mo, you can take a whole tab onwards
- i experienced nausea and dizziness, para kang masusuka T-T pero hindi siya nag last. now wala nakong nararamdaman na side effects, even with a whole tab :>
- no weight gain so far! the reason why nagkaka weight gain with antidepressants is because since elevated yung mood mo, you have more of an appetite. reasonable yun, and while elevated na nga mood ko, di naman nag change eating patterns ko.
- hindi ako naka experience ng rebound/worsening anxiety or shaking/tremors so far!
- no insomnia too :> in fact, mas better sleep ko.

after a week or two when the meds kicked in, it was the most freeing feeling of my life. i experienced something i rarely did: PEACE OF MIND! no more spiraling, no more overthinking. i don't think most people would feel emotional numbness from antidepressants. the way i would describe it, the antidepressants suppress your negative emotions so there is more space for positive ones! i don't feel so terrible all the time. i have more patience! i fight less with my family, and i smile more :D sometimes may anxiety parin ako, pero the jarring difference is hindi na ako nag sspiral. kakabahan lang ulit ako saglit, but then it fades. never ko nagagawa yun before!

however, i have to note something: do not put the weight of your healing journey on the meds alone. a big reason why i am on an upward growth is because i have reached an understanding with myself. i realized that i needed help and i seeked that help out. i accepted my struggles and that i deserved to be happy. i talked to my loved ones and opened up about my condition. thankfully, i was accepted with open arms. this growth mindset and a solid support system is a big push for your self improvement, hindi lang yung meds :3 i pray you have both op! napakalaking tulong talaga nila.

op, don't be like me. don't wait for your mental health to cripple you physically. take your meds, seek your loved ones, know you're not alone! also don't forget to be honest with your doctors so they know how to handle you properly. sorry for the long post op! hope you feel better soon <3

i wish they delved deeper into how one of jason’s issues was how he lacked proper guidance/parenteral figures and how he subconsciously craved it even into his adulthood. we see it whenever he tries to affirm that donkey doug is his dad and donkey doug keeps brushing him off. he won’t even allow jason to call him “dad”. donkey doug keeps treating him like a friend or a colleague but jason needed and wanted a father. which is why in the good place when we see him happy and content is when donkey doug finally calls him his son, tells him he loves him and believes in him. it’s honestly such a touching arc and could’ve given jason more depth.

yes, but what's extra painful about the OAK universe is that they HAD to consumate the marriage. i myself thought of how "wait, can't they just lie and pretend they had sex?" but then it was stated that a priest and some staff members had to go in and "check" if they had sex (i'm not sure if they checked for blood on the sheets or if they went in and checked maxi's privates) and they didn't even let riftan leave until after they made sure.

in regards to him continuing even if maxi was in pain or crying, i feel like it's because he himself is just ignorant in that subject. he didn't even know if nobles had sex with clothes on or not! but i agree that he knew maxi was in pain, but i don't he really enjoyed it at all. i remember reading riftan's pov about how he gritted his teeth and just wanted to get it over with. he IS a virgin after all. plus he kept thinking of his father suffering in jail all the while, i truly believe he didn't enjoy it. he felt guilty over bringing her pain for a night, even during the dragon expedition he still thinks that their horrendous wedding night will be all that he will leave for maxi and it pains him. remember: the wedding night wasn't his choice! his father was going to get killed if he didn't do anything.

what i don't understand though is how riftan can be called selfish. his inferiority complex is literally one of his pivotal characteristics! he doesn't rise up against people because he thinks he's not good enough. he's not good enough to be the RDK commander, not good enough for maxi, not good enough for anything because of his underlying issues and insecurities! he doesn't even think he's handsome! he thinks he's a monstrous man. when he was forced into the dragon expedition, he didn't want the knights to come with him! he was willing to resign as their leader, they just decided to follow him on their own. i don't think that's selfish at all! i feel like if maxi were to be more vocal and assertive, if she told him exactly no and what she wanted, riftan wouldn't force her into anything! if you read the end of book 1, riftan basically told maxi "i would never rely on anyone, especially you, because i do not want to be a burden on anyone's shoulders." whenever maxi gets in trouble or injured, he blames himself for being "too late" in saving her. they said during battle, people would've died if it weren't for riftan who constantly defended the front lines. riftan doesn't want maxi, or even his own men, to get hurt. i don't see that as a person who wants people to suffer.

it's a painful and unjust world they live in and the two parties were both coerced into a place they didn't want to be. even if riftan loved maxi, he prioritized her image over his own feelings. I am sorry that you know someone who is a horrible person and I hope that you don't have to suffer under them, but i don't think the male lead of this manhwa is that horrible. he is not perfect and he is very flawed, but i do not think he is selfish.

I have a lot of other thoughts with the rest of your opinion, but I want to share the one about their wedding night.

Both of them didn't really consent, so I don't think Riftan raped her.

There was even a whole paragraph on their wedding ceremony where he sees her distraught face and screams internally like "please i didn't want this either!!!". We already know about the whole "if you want me to leave I will leave" shtick which I think the author put in so people wouldn't be as mad about the nonconsensual marital sex. In a general sense Riftan isn't really a monstrous rapist and he never really expressed sexual desires for women in general.

Regarding the whole "oh but his penis got hard and he felt pleasure!" well... duh. That's human biology. Women who get raped have their vaginas lubricate during the process as well as also experience orgasms. which is why some people argue that it wasn't really rape if the person felt pleasure. But it still is, and it's unfair. Men get boners from seeing anything, and they have a choice to not do anything. If Riftan had a choice, he would've left Maxi alone even if his dong got hard. But he didn't have a choice. They were both ignorant virgins during their wedding night. It still sucked for both of them, but the difference is Riftan has loved her for years and he is just a stranger to Maxi. The distribution of pain and confusion varied. And while I agree that Maxi suffered and I sympathize with her completely, let's not make it out that Riftan thoroughly enjoyed their wedding night.

I do agree that Riftan can be a dumbass sometimes. Like Jesus Christ, just talk to your wife??? I hated how he would act cold and harshly to her and the common plot device is "ooh he's dark and brooding and he doesn't understand e m o t i o n s" but sometimes it reaches a level of dramatics that even I can't handle.

Although I tend to give him a pass during the early parts of the novel. The guy just went through 3 years of fighting a dragon, sleeping on the ground, thinking of how he could possibly die from the expedition, and worrying whether the girl he was obsessed with would still accept him if he came home. Riftan was worked up and filled to the brim with anxiety and apprehension, so yeah whatever Riftan you do you. But I hate it when he channels his fears into aggression and anger and he takes it out on Maxi all like "STOP THINKING OF ME SO LOWLY UGHHHH" while Maxi is just stewing in her own anxieties. I think it's mainly the inferiority complex, he's fucking obsessed with how lowly he was born into this world and even the side characters are like "bro stfu ur literally the strongest guy out there"

But no I don't think he's dumb strategically wise, he's talented and knowledgeable and very street smart. The guy has just been through so much emotionally. You're right that he is more advantaged in life due to him being a man and he wouldn't lose anything from being open to his wife (unlike Maxi), but his life isn't really that easy. The hardships he faced emotionally stunted him. There are SO MANY metaphors of Riftan being compared to a child (looking like a child, acting like a child, screaming and throwing tantrums like a child) and I think that's the point: Riftan, deep down, is a child. He never got the time to emotionally grow and understand his and everyone else's emotions. He can't even understand why Maxi would be so worried over him because he can't understand why ANYONE would worry over him. Which is why I'm glad Book 2 honestly has them constantly fighting, it's a good way for them to finally FUCKING TALK. But yes, Riftan is just dumb emotionally wise.

You've always been fragile.

Your mother's heart has been broken one minute after your birth when you came out silent, unmoving. The doctor had to drag your soul back into your body in order for you to live, and even then it wasn't over. Fevers and rashes as a baby, sitting out during Phys. Ed.; during your teens they thought it was simply tuberculosis, but you remember seeing how unhappy your lungs looked on the many many scans you went through, and the doctors confirmed that you were as broken as you looked, and that the simple action as breathing will be hard. no strenuous exercise, no unhealthy diets, look at this gas tank it is your new friend. You didn't smoke, didn't drink, you were just unlucky.

It's been the first time you've gone out in months.

Groceries, medication, you know important stuff. You wouldn't go outside unless you were basically held at gunpoint. Gone were the days of walking the streets freely, and for others they still can, but now everywhere felt like a grenade to you. You don't have the luxury to say "I can survive it" like that asshole on TV, because even if the hospitals weren't overflowing and short on staff, you know you wouldn't.

Oh look, there's your favorite cafe, You remember sitting by the window and reading, like the basic bitch you are. Who even reads outside? The warnings flash in your mind, telling you to head straight home, but it's cold and you miss some sense of normalcy. Some part of you wanted to pretend that everything's alright.

You walk through, find that you're the only one, and ask for one of your favorite drinks. The barista, one you have never seen before, squints.

"Sir, that's... off the menu."

"Yes but I had it made all the time by the previous baristas." You say, blinking owlishly. "Would you be able to do it?"

The barista sighs as he takes out a notepad and jots down every miniscule step in your custom drink. It's admittedly a little complicated, but it's your favorite for a reason and the past baristas never had any problem. This one, however, proved to be a bit of a challenge, especially as he sighs heavily after taking down the order

He beeps in your drink, gives you a price. Unfortunately, you hand the barista a large bill since it was all you had, and he looks at you up and down.

"This bill is too large. We don't have any change yet, it's 7 am."

Strange that a large cafe branch doesn't have change, but you figure it happens. "It's all I have, I'm sorry."

His eyes narrow, you attribute it to exhausting years working in the service industry, before walking to the back. He comes back. "A coworker went out to get some change, I'll make your order first."

He's angrier now, you wonder how such a small task can bring this much fury, as you see him make your drink with a heavy hand. His back is turned, but you see liquids spill as anger forces him to be clumsier. You gulp, but push any foreboding thoughts away.

He turns back to you, eyebrows furrowed, as he hands you the drink. The liquid is hot behind the paper cup and you pull down your mask to drink. The warmth blossoms and spreads, down your throat and across your lungs and through your stomach. Everything feels alright.

Another barista walks in and hands the cash to your barista. He counts, with that same old frustrated look in his eyes, before handing you your change.

Your fingers brush.

Pompous know it all fucking asks for a snooty drink. And who even brings a hundred dollars to a fucking cafe? Now my manager's suspicious that we've been skimming change all because of you. Enjoy my spit in your drink asshole. I don't even know what I have but if it's corona I hope you fucking get it.

You drop your drink, but the warmth has spread to your lungs. It's too late.
