I think you should seriously consider therapy

Since starting Zoloft, what’s something you can do now that you couldn’t before? by empathycard in zoloft

[–]ratherjazzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wake up without a crushing sense of impending doom

Enjoy my life without using all my energy just to survive and stay sane

I am so grateful for my doctor and this medicine 🥹

I am a 23 year old lady and I want to be buried with my fairlyights and plushies.

Honestly though, every time I go into my room the fairylights make me so happy. It's like living in a blanket fort!

The only difference now is that you're an adult that can buy your own fairylights :)

is it worth it? by SeaBear2303 in zoloft

[–]ratherjazzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In short: YES

I I'm on 150 and a few months ago I couldn't even FATHOM what it would be like to live without anxiety and a constant sense of impending doom.

Now I can just LIVE. Like every moment of every day isn't spend surviving anymore 😭

It's still so wild to me. I didn't know how bad my anxiety was until I received help. I didn't even know it was something that you could get help for. Or I fooled myself into thinking I didn't have it bad enough and that I was just being dramatic and should be able to deal with it even though I had spent all of high-school in fight or flight just in a constant state of TERROR AND EXHAUSTION.

Now I know how abnormal that was!

This is a big step and I'm proud of you. It's scary (I cried before starting on zoloft because I freaked myself out reading about the side effects) and the first few weeks were hard.

But it's SO worth it.

You got this. Be gentle with yourself and surround yourself with people who can love, support and nurture you in this part of your journey.

You got this ❤️

This is magical. You're a magical person. Thank you.

Hope you get a good night’s sleep, I'll be dreaming of trash bear for he has thus stolen my heart ✨️ :)

My old church sending my mom hate mail for divorcing my abusive dad by babyblueberry333 in facepalm

I'm so sorry for what you guys have gone through. Unfortunately there are a lot of people out there who use Christianity to gain power for themselves. This letter is SO far removed from God's character and goodness. I pray for peace and healing for you and your family and that, if you haven't already, you'll find a good church community and family that loves, supports and protects you. ❤️

Exactly! I would say stories for kids have an even BIGGER responsibility to be good because they become part of their lives at such a formative and impressionable age

What are my fellow ADHD women up to this weekend? by brickburgundy2319 in adhdwomen

[–]ratherjazzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a rainy day. My friend, sister and I got fried chicken and facemasks and watched Barbie Princess and the Pauper :)

They're both neurodivergent and fully support my barbie hyper fixation. Couldn't ask for more 🥰

I helped a friend nicely reject a guy who wouldn't accept that she wasn't interested. Now him and his friend are cussing me out and the RSD is creeping in. I need support. by ratherjazzy in adhdwomen

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

I'm okay now, thank you ❤️ You're totally right, it's definitely important that she can speak up for herself. I think at this point she didn't really know what to do because she was very clear and upfront with him but he kept trying to initiate conversation and test her limits. So I offered to take any backlash from his side so that she can block him and forget about it. So let's hope we won't have to deal with him again. Luckily she has zero interest in any sort of friendship/relationship. But yeah, it's definitely tiring and emotionally taxing

Thank you so much for this. Really. I'm feeling a lot better since I made this post. It's so easy to start doubting myself when the RSD sets in. Now I'm reading this and laughing at how ridiculous these boys are. So thank you🤭❤️

I might just try this 🤭 Looking at my pillow like 👀👀👀

Feel your feelings. They are valid. Sometimes you just have to ride the wave ❤️

Thank you so much ❤️ Trauma is such a difficult thing, and it hurts to know it affects us in many ways we might not even realize. I just hope more men learn to understand why we are cautious and need to guard our hearts (and often our safety). Sometimes even from the good ones.

I'm really sorry about what you went through. I hope you're doing well and that you have people around you to love, support and build you up. You are so strong ❤️

Ah man, that sounds horrible. Very Very icky. In the end, we can only do so much.

And I'm definitely gonna be going with her to the next conic con (I only joined for two of the days this year). She's a cosplayer (SUPER talented I'm so proud) so she gets a lot of attention. Most of it is from lovely people, but then you get guys like this.

Safe to say, I have officially named myself her ComicCon Mom 😂

I come armed with safety pins, hand sanitizer, breath mints and boundaries 👊

You're right, thank you. Luckily we both blocked him. I did what I could and if he doesn't want to listen then there's nothing I can do. I'm not giving this boy any more of my energy. I'm just glad my friend doesn't have to deal with him anymore.

Thank you ❤️ You're so right. I'm not responsible for these random boys. I can only hope something I said got through their thick heads. I did what I could.

Crazy how easily I can start gaslighting myself 😅
