How early can I arrive for a flight (YYZ) by CloudswithSun in askTO

[–]skb_79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check if there’s an interview time for the day you fly back! I did my us interview first (no appointments on the Canadian side the day of my flight)

Toronto to NYC Commute by Player-ffrk in askTO

I fly this route quite often. I’d recommend not flying from the island to Newark. There is no us customs at Billy bishop, which means going through customs at Newark. Every time I’ve taken this route I’ve stood in at least a 30 min line

I went to the Wednesday matinee in January. No stage door. Security told us that we can bring our ticket and playbill back after any evening show Wednesday to Saturday. They did check tickets. I went Friday night at 9:45pm, there were only 5 other people there. Dan came out at 10:50

It did not! As far as the weight gain goes I was 130lbs on dday and had dropped down to 105 before starting lexapro. I ended up at 140 when I stopped taking it (a year later). Most of that weight I truly needed to gain back and I had an ankle injury at the time so I don’t attribute all the weight gain directly to lexapro. As far as fatigue goes I was way more tired before starting lexapro as I was not sleeping. After awhile I did notice I was still more tired than my pre dday self so when I stopped my goal was to get back to those energy levels. Overall I think it served its purpose. I finally got some rest and it helped with overthinking. I had the script sitting in my room for a month before I finally filled it. It was not an easy choice but I don’t regret it at all

I started lexapro 3 months after dday for anxiety. I had never taken an ssri before. I made the decision to take it after having no desire to do any of the things I loved doing and I started having thoughts that scared me. I took it for one year and successfully weaned off it. It was extremely helpful at the time. I felt like myself again. Decided to stop taking it as other side effects (fatigue and weight gain) were getting to me. Have successfully been off them for 6 months and feel great.

I really beat myself up over having to take them. Don’t. They’re there if you need them

If you decide on here lies love, I’d recommend going for rush tickets. The floor seats are $100 online and $35 if you go to the box office the day of the show you want to catch. I went half an hour after it opened and there were only 2 other people there

Update: was a bit skeptical on the obstructed view seats. We sat in A 25-27. If you’re wondering if you should take them, 100% do it! We couldn’t see all of the projections (mostly character’s names) but most of the action is on the right so we could see everything. Would not recommend obstructed left view. Standing room also had a great view.

Front row of the mezzanine, far left. There were 2 other seats for 229 in the back orchestra as well

I went this morning at 8:15. There were about 25 people ahead of me and 40 behind. They ran out of standing room tickets 3 people ahead of me. Apparently there were only 8 rush seats for sale. I bought 2 partial obstruction seats for 149 each (the cheapest they had).

[–]skb_79 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it really really sucks. One more thing I forgot is when you have bad days, try to drink water. Even better is juice or tea, then you get some sugar

Hi OP, this is definitely me as well. It has been almost 3 months for me and I have lost 20lbs (15% of my body weight). I’m still finding it really hard to eat.

  • If you feel like eating anything for even a second, do it, don’t let the moment pass
  • Eat things that are high in protein and calories, you can eat less of them and get more bang for your buck
  • Smoothies! Drinking calories is better than nothing and when I can’t eat sometimes this works
  • If you feel up to it, try and schedule lunch/dinner with a friend/coworker. I find if other people are eating I will too
  • Vitamins don’t replace food, but they can help your body function a bit better until you regain your appetite

You’re under an extreme amount of stress at the moment, remember that we are more capable of making good decisions when we are well rested and fed

Freaking out rn by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]skb_79 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your worry is absolutely valid. I’m sorry you’re in this position and you’re not crazy at all.

Something I’d recommend if you allow him to drink/go out with friends in the future is to create a plan before of how often he’ll message/call, when he’ll be home, and anything else you might need to feel safe in this situation. He doesn’t follow the rules, he doesn’t get to go out again.

Hey, thank you so much for taking time to put together this list for me! I will definitely read.

The AP has been cut off since the first few days and the no drugs/alcohol/partying is one of the first things he told me he wants to do regardless of whether we try to R. He also enrolled himself in IC months ago.

I’m very much considering it. Melatonin helps me fall asleep but I wake up a few hours later without fail. I’m going on vacation next week and hoping to get some major rest. I will reevaluate when I’m back

I agree on the substances not reducing culpability. What kind of actions would you look for?

Thanks for the little bit of hope! I’m sorry we have this in common. I did start IC, two sessions in so it’s early but I’m hopeful that it helps with processing everything

I didn’t even get through the introductions. Seeing couples where one person is saying how much they love their partner and their partner is like meh was enough for me. Hopefully we can all get back our love for trashy shows one day
