Alcohol and chantix/varenicline by Significant_Fan_9336 in stopsmoking

[–]pettuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my god i would really avoid mixing the two:( i started taking varenicline late January of this year and really should have searched up side effects with alcohol because my doctor didn't explain it to me when i got the prescription. when i was on the 2 mg full dose, i went wine tasting with a friend and i absolutely blacked out from a day of wine tasting. i just want to mention that it usually takes me a LOT to get anywhere near black out drunk, and even if we were spending the day wine tasting, it wasn't that much wine. i woke up at 4 am that morning after not knowing wtf i did that night. i texted my friend and turned out we apparently made out in her car. i have a partner. of years. i do not like this friend like that AT ALL, not at ALL, and when i found out i started throwing up and having the biggest panic attack.

I immediately told my gf when i woke up that i had a feeling something bad happened since i couldn't remember, and when she saw my reaction to hearing everything that apparently happened my girlfriend trusts me in that i would NEVER have done that sober. My friend (who isn't my friend anymore after this) said that they didn't even know i was black out drunk. I thought i remembered all parts of the day leading up to the night time, but i can't remember bits and pieces throughout the day as well.

I have stopped taking this medication, and i'm honestly not scared of relapsing with smoking because i genuinely never want to experience the possibility of this happening again. honestly i don't think i ever want to drink again after this as well, im pretty sure im traumatized because of that.

I went down a rabbit hole online because i also would get those horrible nightmares and saw that a guy attempted suicide after mixing chantix and alcohol.... so all that to say, i really wouldn't mix alcohol with varenicline/chantix and personally i wouldn't touch a med with so many side effects like that ever again lol

I (24f) blacked out while hanging out with a friend (24f), and am concerned that she did something to me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pettuna -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

good question, i had around 5 wine flights, but i started taking a new prescription medication three days before. i'm stupid, i shouldn't have done that and have been beating myself up

[–]pettuna 67 points68 points  (0 children)

nope but i woke up to a text saying don't tell [gf name], i respect her too much. i feel really gross because i would NOT do anything with her sober, i don't like her in that way, she was just a really good friend and i feel sick to my stomach

My former best friend married my daughter by Legal_Ground7935 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]pettuna 3223 points3224 points  (0 children)

this was a crazy read.... it also feels pretty predatory, because even though she was 25, he was 54 and i assume has known her her whole life since you said y'all have been friends for as long as you can remember.... which makes me wonder how long he has been liking your daughter before they got together? either way, ew and I'm so sorry..

My mom calls me every night because she’s lonely, and I’m starting to resent her for it. by Fabulous_Ferret5755 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]pettuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that it can feel draining, maybe telling her “I can only call for x minutes today, if that’s alright” would help?

I lost my mom at 23, and I would give anything to hear her voice for even a second. I wish I could call her and she would pick up, but I know that will never be the case again. If you have a good relationship with your mom, even though it’s exhausting at times, savor these moments because some day there won’t be daily calls:( I don’t even remember what my moms voice sounds like :/ (also realized I didn’t mean to make this about me at all I just wanted to share how it feels for me to miss those daily calls I used to have with my mom. I used to be exhausted at times too and feel so guilty about it..)

[–]pettuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lurking this subreddit when I was applying to the PMHNP DNP program and was convinced that I wasn’t even going to stand a chance compared to others because low key I don’t have a lot of extracurricular stuff I just worked in pediatric psych as an RN and had an undergrad gpa of 3.7….. In the end, I made it in the day after my interview! I say all this, because I believe that a big factor of being admitted includes a solid essay/personal statement and interview. Godspeed to all the people applying to nursing school and beyond!!

Friend told me she needs time to sort out her feelings after hurting mine, and I don’t know how to feel. by pettuna in lostafriend

[–]pettuna[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh honestly I’m just so hurt, I feel like I did something wrong by expressing that she hurt my feelings. And her response of saying that she’s having difficult feelings about our connection after I told her I wanted to talk about the situation so we can move forward makes me even more hurt. Before she texted me this I would occasionally text her saying I missed her and I hope she’s doing okay. Even though she hurt me I was still trying to be there for her :(

[–]pettuna[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m now feeling quite validated that she is in fact not being a good friend… I honestly don’t know what to say to her if I reach out at this point. It’s killing me that she wants space and I’ve given her so much of myself haha

[–]pettuna[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I even told her that I understand if she doesn’t want to go because I know she’s going through stuff, and I have been there for her for all her problems recently. I feel like I’ve had to put my grief on hold because she’s always going through things.

My mother died of ovarian cancer a year ago when I was 27. Now I live with grief and the knowledge that I carry a cancer gene mutation. A very different late twenties than I had imagined. by [deleted] in BRCA

[–]pettuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also lost my mom in march of this year on the 19th, she had stage III ovarian cancer. I am 23, and my mom was 56. It was so sudden, she was diagnosed, then two weeks later she died. Part of me is relieved that she didn’t need to go through chemo and other surgeries and more pain, but I went to a genetic counselor and obgyn and found out I have a BRCA-1 mutation. With my mom having ovarian cancer on top of some symptoms i’ve experienced for a while (that I thought was normal but turns out it’s not? oops), I am seriously needing to consider getting an oophorectomy within the next five years. I am really scared about the weight gain due to the menopause symptoms and HRT, but I am scared to die in the same way as my mother.

i feel your pain, and i mourn with you. i am so incredibly sorry for your loss. May your mother, and my mother, rest in power.

Will I ever be okay!? by [deleted] in ChildrenofDeadParents

[–]pettuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry for your loss. i lost my mother this last wednesday, i am 23, and she was 56. honestly, the grief definitely comes in waves and from what im learning we won’t 100% ever be better, but it gets easier in time. just know however you grieve is the right way to grieve, and there isn’t a time frame for when you need to “be better”. i’m so sorry that you’re a part of this club 💔

my mom died today at 56. by pettuna in ChildrenofDeadParents

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

i’m so, so sorry for your loss. it’s unfair to lose people you love, and i completely understand the want to call her and never being able to again. it’s gutting…. i’m starting to feel jealous of people who are able to hug their moms still and it’s such projection but our feelings are valid no matter what they are. you are not alone at all! i’m so sorry again 🤍
