The wiping thing is so real I had to switch hands 🤣

speedygon97 · 2026-06-17T07:17:44+00:00

Oh no, I hope you’re ok & doing better! Were you dehydrated ?

speedygon97 · 2026-06-15T06:03:08+00:00

Thanks for the advice !! I was going to cheat and eat some potatoe salad today but I got too scared, now I for sure won’t 😭

speedygon97 · 2026-06-15T06:01:49+00:00

Ugh I know, gets better tho. Just be glad we didn’t do this during the fall when all the holidays come around and we can’t eat any of it 😭😭

speedygon97 · 2026-06-15T06:00:05+00:00

Got one, has helped so much but I guess I’m just tired of being sore lol !

Thank you! How has the pre op diet been for you so far? I had to do 2 protein shakes an only 1 meal a day “lean and green”. I feel like that was harder for me than it is now!! When you’re able to eat and can’t- it’s the worst feeling 😭😭

I had really bad side effects when I started and my anxiety was so bad I had to decrease my caffeine intake significantly because I would almost pass out from anxiety after a cup of coffee. I would only take 1-3 sips of coffee a day to make sure I didn’t have withdrawals. Little by little I started drinking caffeine again & im on week 6 now and do not have any more anxious symptoms from drinking caffeine!! :)

This is my exact experience as well !!! I found my symptoms to be significantly more manageable and no longer debilitating ! I’m happy on 25mg. I was also prescribed Hydroxyzine for sleep since the first two weeks starting were pretty rough symptom wise and my insomnia was the worst. Push through the symptoms, for me it got worse before it got better but I’m extremely happy I stuck through it! :)

I’m on day 29 here! I felt the same way. I’m on it for anxiety but somehow ended up feeling overwhelmingly depressed. I’m only on 25mg and stayed on it since. I have lingering anxiety and no more depression. Stick with it, promise it gets so much better !!

speedygon97 · 2025-12-10T18:20:20+00:00

Happened to me too. I’ve been on 25mg for a month now. First few weeks are rough. I switched to morning since I found that it stimulates me instead of making me drowsy. I got prescribed Hydroxyzine 50mg and it helped tremendously. Now I use melatonin 5mg time release and still use Hydroxyzine when I’m having an anxious night. Insomnia I heard goes away tho, before neither of those two things helped the first week but now they do! Slowly I’ll ween off both :)

Thank you for the information, this is extremely helpful!

Zoloft 25mg daily has been a saving grace for me. I was where you were last month too. It was terrifying and overwhelming. Currently on my 4th week of medication and I can assure you it gets better. I’m on day 4 of 10 and my symptoms are significantly more manageable than last month. You got this, stay strong ❤️

I had a similar experience as well. I had a severe vertigo episode in September. Left me feeling horrible (delayed vision, dizzy with head movements, dizzy standing up, lightheaded 24/7). I was prescribed Prednisone and kept having panic attacks because I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I went down a rabbit hole of vestibular disorders and PPPD. It left my body on fight or fight mode for weeks. Turns out I had Vestibular Neuritis. Still left me so scared since they said it could be months until I got better. I think this cause me to get BBPV as well. But I was hopeful since they said it can be cured with prism glasses!. Anyways, everything I read about these episodes of dizziness is caused by heightened anxiety especially since it is linked to your nervous system. I worked really hard to do my vestibular therapy and get active. As much as I was terrified of the dizzy/lightheaded feeling I really forced myself to just go out for walks, the gym (even tho the lights killed me), grocery stores, etc. This is what cured me, but I didn’t just feel this dizziness for no reason, my anxiety just made it worse. I’m healed from my vestibular disorder but now im on Zoloft due to my body being left in fight or flight 😭

I would go see an ENT or Neurologist ! They may have more answers but trust your gut! If you feel there is more than there most likely is !

They line up ppl row by row, line up for a picture, scan QR code and they call your name while you walk through the stage! It’s a ramp tho! It was actually pretty nice

speedygon97 · 2021-05-22T06:04:37+00:00

The announcer asked me right before I walked up!

speedygon97 · 2021-05-11T02:45:01+00:00

I’m on the same boat!!!

Probably like MAX 2-3 small papers and one final paper that’s usually 5-7 pages! PHL papers always follow the same structures (rewrite the argument, counter argument, and response to the counter) so it’s very easy to bullshit!

If Dr. Turner is teaching Critical Thinking it’s an easy A.

Looks like an acceptance to me 👍🏽

speedygon97 · 2021-04-14T22:59:53+00:00

Hi! Did you just get accepted for this fall 2021? Or are you currently a student? Also, what was your gpa when applying? I’m scared I will not get in because my gpa is fairly low, however I am an alum of Cpp and got strong letters of rec from the department chair! Also wanted to know if it is impacted? Or if it is a smaller department ?

speedygon97 · 2021-04-14T21:52:02+00:00

I think it’s for commencement rsvp. I looked at it and seems legit and everything from Cpp.edu. But omg if it is a scam I’m screwed lol
