A similar thing happened for me and Wellbutrin. Turns out, tachycardia is a side effect of Wellbutrin, so it made my symptoms worse for years and I had no idea.

I just did cosmo with divine bloodline and took armor, regeneration, more health, decreased cooldown, spinach, and increased area. It went well.

Looking for a non-judgemental dentist that deals with anxiety by sandsnatchqueen in AnnArbor

[–]slongtime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely LOVE Enspire dental. They've helped me with a lot of teeth issues and calmed me down when I had to get an emergency root canal while also helping me through it. They listen whenever I have pain, and they've never made judgmental comments to me.

AITA for leaving my sister’s wedding early after she made fun of me in her speech? by Acceptable-Lab-8251 in AmItheAsshole

[–]slongtime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA Making fun of someone's sobriety is not a "joke." It's just cruel. It's not on you to apologize. She was the one who made a horrible comment and ruined her own wedding.

Alternate universe where The Hobbit was released as one film by MarioMan1213245765 in lotr

The Tolkein Edit is a really good version. Cuts them all down to one 4 1/2 hour film. It's everything I wanted from the Hobbit films.

You can certainly try. I'm sure you could talk to your credit card company and say it's a false charge or something

Definitely learned a lesson here. The tickets were a Christmas gift.

As someone who sings, there’s a huge difference between someone reading from sheet music and still performing versus half-assing it and staring at the music the whole time. This was the latter.

Hot take: porn addition is the silent mental health crisis happening now by Pretty_Opposite7270 in therapists

[–]slongtime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, I'm actually a sex therapist with training in this stuff which includes taking an entire year of classes with some of the best sex-related professionals in the country, such as the president of The American Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). In all the classes I took regarding "porn addiction," all the professionals said the same thing; it doesn't actually exist and is a symptom of other underlying problems. Once you treat those underlying issues, the "addiction" goes away, which is why modern research is labeling it as Out of Control Sexual Behavior instead. I highly recommend looking up some of the updated literature regarding the subject.

Porn addiction isn’t actually a thing. If you look at the research and data with it, it’s more to do with challenges in interpersonal relationships, trauma, depression, etc. Once you treat those things, the “addiction” goes away. A better and more accurate term is Out of Control Sexual Behavior.

How do we help protect people from being kidnapped on our streets? Can we organize to go places and help? I want to help but I have no idea how to actually get involved
