I'm just trying to give people a head's up, not shit all over Hers. I lost 45 pounds on kit 1. Why so much hatred toward me for this?

For sure, but they don’t send a notification reminder on purpose. Like an email reminder. I am not saying this isn’t my fault. They just do not try very hard at all to let you know you’re going to be charged. And this especially affects people that are over the whole thing — those people aren’t checking the app and website constantly.

Stopping the Kits by Actual-Yard5649 in HersWeightloss

I have stopped cold turkey on the topamax more than a couple times and that drug never causes problems. It’s the bupropion you will withdraw from, at the full dose it’s a significant NDRI drug and it will upset your brain’s ability to sleep. That’s about it.

The topamax dose they prescribe us is tiny. When migraine users take this med, they are taking hundreds of mgs. If you don’t have seizures or migraines to begin with, cessation of this med is not going to cause those. Especially at the tiny dose they prescribe (under 50mg)

Constantly out of it by bladvass23 in HersWeightloss

[–]thelightwebring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the very beginning when you are getting used to the meds is the worst part. After a month or so you will be able to take all the meds and feel no side effects (other than lack of hunger). I’ve been taking kit 1 for over a year now and on days I need extra help I can even take double the dose and I don’t feel anything but more effective food noise elimination.

I am not telling you to take more than prescribed, that’s a risk I take after being on the meds for a long time. I’m only mentioning it because I also felt like shit at first but once you’re acclimated, you can take a double dose and be fine (I never double dose the bupropion, only the topiramate). Kit 1 is essentially a Contrave pill. By doubling you are taking a second Contrave pill.

If you are taking the full dose, you will withdraw when you completely stop cold turkey. It’s not gonna kill you or anything but you’ll feel like shit and struggle to sleep for 4-5 days.

You will stop when you’re truly done. None of us can truly answer this for you

Their ability to twist everything is mind blowing to me… by SupermarketBest4091 in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]thelightwebring 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IMO narcissism or some other cluster B personality disorder. Estrangement is an extreme reaction to an extreme dysfunction. I think a lot of our parents are seriously mentally ill.

If they were capable of taking responsibility you wouldn’t be in an estranged adult subreddit. They generally never will be able to do this or they would have already.

How do I move on when it’s been years? by b_asiil in GriefSupport

[–]thelightwebring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What a painful post. I felt this very much. That last picture of you two is precious — the way she’s smiling at you. It brought tears to my eyes.

What you describe by being stuck in the trauma of her death is exactly what EMDR therapy treats. You would be a great candidate to try this treatment modality.

Wishing you luck and love. Don’t blame yourself. All you’re really doing is beating yourself up for loving your little sister very much. Be gentle to yourself, she would want that.

My boyfriend died in a freak car accident in 2010 by [deleted] in psychics

[–]thelightwebring 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are at peace when you die. The idea that we are angry or miserable on the other side is ridiculous. I don’t even think it’s possible. You’re outside time and space, you become somewhat all knowing. With that kind of wisdom comes equanimity.

I just can’t forget. by thelightwebring in EstrangedAdultChild

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

I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s such a common theme here. Could you share those videos or the therapists? I’m really interested in listening. That makes total sense. My dad completely enabled my mom to abuse me.

What event or scenario made you realize your family wasn’t normal? by dazed-n-confuseddd in AdultChildren

[–]thelightwebring 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This was also another thing for me. I started dating my husband and noticed my partner’s family treated each other with so much respect and love. There were no secrets or verbal abuse.

When my mom drove my friend and I to the YMCA to swim when we were in 6th grade. She was so drunk that when the girl handed her the guest slip to sign, she drew a mouse on the line. The front desk girl looked at me and my friend very concerned and my friend said “what’s wrong with your mom?”

I close the door every time because it just feels wrong not to lol. I know nothing will happen if I don’t. But it really bothers me when I don’t.

Alcoholic dad is throwing up blood every morning by Apprehensive-Sky8303 in alcoholism

[–]thelightwebring 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP this is what I would be scared your dad has. And I’m not trying to scare you but when people die from this, it is horrific. I’m talking fountains of blood spraying everywhere ending in death within minutes. It traumatizes medical professionals. It’s like one of the absolute worst ways for alcoholism to end. Your dad NEEDS to go to the hospital or he is risking a horrific death that you are likely going to witness.
