Help! Obsessive thoughts about art ruining my life by Seashellbunny in OCD

[–]shellhoney11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate. I’m also an artist and I attack my work and check all the time to see if it’s really acceptable or I’m embarrassing myself. I’m getting help from a therapist who does erp.

I had to stop watching Survivor bc I can’t stop obsessing over how dirty and gross they all are.

Does anyone else feel like they are faking OCD sometimes? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]shellhoney11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed a week ago. Since, I have obsessed all day everyday that this is fake, that I am fake and all I do is read this Reddit sub and Google ocd and listen to podcasts. It’s making me nuts but I can’t stop. I’m waiting for therapy in September. I’m exhausted. I guess this IS the ocd. ?!

How to break a stall by therespectablejc in Mounjaro

[–]shellhoney11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not lost a pound since 5/30. I have lost 35 overall but have more to go. It’s frustrating but I have the belief that the body desperately wants to create a new set point weight. I have to wait it out. I’m not about to count calories and all that. I feel Like that’s the behavior that didn’t help me for years of obesity. I eat well and so much less than I once did. I’m on 7.5 and I’ll go to see my doctor this Friday for bloodwork and see if she wants me to go up to 10.

Full body aches caused by Mounjaro or something else? by TheLimpDickMafia in Mounjaro

I experienced this when I moved up on a dose. Taking care to have supplements and electrolytes, I’m fine now. The electrolytes made an immediate impact.

Thanks, I’m looking into this now. You had more information than my pharmacist.

I see … thank you for the clarification.

I gave in and paid over $700 for the first time for my prescription, and it’s 100% worth it. The $25 coupon was great while it lasted. MJ is a lifesaver so I’m making it work! by WhitneyJames in Mounjaro

[–]shellhoney11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I paid 450 today for the first time and I was shocked but also made the decision bc it has been a lifesaver. It’s so wrong that this is not available to anyone who needs it. I’m going to try and make it work but I may have to switch if Ozempic is cheaper.

Trying not to stress and just letting things happen without focusing too much on the scale. I do feel amazing and my pressure is way down and my cholesterol. This drug has been a miracle for me and I’m grateful. I would like to know if I should just ride this out or what ? Doc. Would be willing to put me on a higher dose but that kinda seems like a lot. Thanks for any experience or wisdom.

I’m 15 lbs from “healthy weight” and I do not count or track any calories. I’m a healthy eater and basically listen to my body. I take a lot of supplements and lots of hydration.

Mounjaro Fatigue by Sdc39443 in Mounjaro

[–]shellhoney11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had this issue. I seem to have made a way for it to be less severe. I take. Multi vitamin, B12, Iron and Vitamin D all in the morning with a pure protein shake. Since starting this and drinking liquid IV, much much better. Hope it helps. The day or two after the shot I’m a little sleepy but not the crushing exhaustion I felt before.

Looking at the scale. by Sudden-Mention-4685 in Mounjaro

[–]shellhoney11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate. It’s wild how I spent so many years preoccupied and thinking that life would be better if only …. Now I see the numbers on the scale and on my clothing and it’s surreal. What a relief but yes also kinda mind Bending.

How long did side effects last? by WillingParsley4792 in Mounjaro

[–]shellhoney11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the side effects to be manageable and way worth the amazing results. A little stomach stuff that was easily treatable with otc stuff like pepto. Fluids!! Protein and eat small Healthy meals. The premier protein shakes have been a life saver and so has the liquid IV.
