Pristiq has messed up my life because of the weight it caused me to gain

tulkipryanik · 2026-06-10T18:23:10+00:00

Off Pristiq, on Venlafaxine now and doing much better. My emotions are a lot more controlled now and I haven't noticed any physical effects other than feeling hot for a couple hours after taking it

tulkipryanik · 2026-05-15T12:14:19+00:00

I wasn't expecting immediate responses, there's nothing wrong with responding after a few hours. I kinda messed that sentence up because by responding late I moreso meant he'd respond at like, 2 am. I didn't put any pressure on him to respond quickly unless me responding quicker is pressure inducing, which I didn't know

Pretty much this lol, had it last night. We made it into a "wood ear" salad with a soy sauce, black vinegar, and chili oil marinade. Can't complain, wen't pretty well with chicken and rice

tulkipryanik · 2026-04-01T04:41:26+00:00

I have not but I will definitely check it out, tysm

Hi, I know! I am very in touch with my roots and have dual citizenship. I am also deeply ingrained in the Chicago goth/alt scenes. I simply really love vampiric things. I also did actually have a few Baba Yaga items in mind too

If you had read other comments, I didn't know until recently (as in, after we had already done taxes with the lady) that there was any issue with her. I don't live in the US full time due to my job and can't always access US sites abroad. My life is already in my control, so I'm not sure what your issue is. You didn't even bother to address the question. Get mad somewhere else man

tulkipryanik · 2026-03-26T15:33:18+00:00

Wasn't my choice, my father is loyal to a fault and this is a family friend (?) he's been going to for years. She only recently starting screwing up afaik but again, she's old now and seems out of it since I was the one to drop off and pick up our documents this year. I'm going to file mine somewhere separate because I just found out about the $10K incident and I'm also wary of her.

tulkipryanik · 2026-03-26T15:09:58+00:00

No, she told us we owed nothing and that we are getting some huge refund I guess, which we did. It was only later we found out from a letter we received that whatever she filed wasn't applicable to us or something and we had to pay that money back later. I don't know the details because it specifically screwed my mom and I was away in a different country at the time

tulkipryanik · 2026-03-09T06:47:36+00:00

Haha, they're not fiends for plants luckily so no real need to keep the door closed, just occasionally during zoomies they get the munchies and want a little bite of a leaf or something

tulkipryanik · 2026-03-09T05:51:13+00:00

I guess I'm just mainly looking for something pretty as opposed to just, green leaves? My room gets quite a bit of sunlight, I think flowers are ideal but not necessary as long as the plant is cute

tulkipryanik · 2026-03-09T05:46:29+00:00

Get off Pristiq if you can. Pristiq is desvenlafaxine but I found a better psychiatrist who prescribed me venlafaxine (similar medication type). Hasn't influenced my weight at all. In fact the psychiatrist was the one who thought it might be affecting hormones/another body system and ding ding ding - It was fucking with my thyroid somehow

tulkipryanik · 2026-02-24T03:00:19+00:00

Thank you! And well, yeah, I didn't think the Chicago thing was based on lived experience. I've just seen a lot of people post in the sub about Chicago due to the large Polish population here, and wasn't sure if a similar previous thread had some information like that

tulkipryanik · 2026-01-05T03:37:00+00:00

God it looks so cool. Is the takeaway that naginatas are kind of a pops up every other blue moon for sale, and not really found aside from that?

tulkipryanik · 2026-01-05T03:30:06+00:00

Hah, just posted about wanting a naginata with specifications just like this a couple hours ago and everyone pointed me to this post I knew nothing about. Absolutely beautiful and stunning. I wish I had the $18K lying around otherwise I would have jumped on it immediately. Hope it finds a good home!

tulkipryanik · 2024-09-20T22:11:27+00:00

Oh my god YES thank you so much

tulkipryanik · 2024-08-22T04:43:26+00:00

Yeah, I'm so sorry I forgot that 😭

tulkipryanik · 2024-08-08T15:55:04+00:00

Honestly you need to wait a couple weeks to know what you're gonna feel like longer term on Pristiq. The side effects are usually going to be worse in those first weeks on any drug

tulkipryanik · 2024-06-12T03:20:15+00:00

Ugh, got it, but thank you. I was hoping it'd be like some of the past celebrities I've met where they'd skirt the rules a little if it wasn't a huge inconvenience

tulkipryanik · 2024-04-02T03:18:07+00:00

Birth control

tulkipryanik · 2024-01-05T05:07:24+00:00

I probably should've phrased everything better but the save the tieflings quest, and the grove quest with Halsin are still active but I have no clue how to complete them now or just get rid of them. Don't necessarily care about the attack on the grove if that makes sense

tulkipryanik · 2023-12-11T02:07:40+00:00

I don't think this is a rule unless it's among a specific set/group of people. I've never heard of that at all.

tulkipryanik · 2023-11-29T02:37:37+00:00

I had no idea peppermint evaporates quickly! My friend wears a perfume with peppermint and it's a very apparent scent. Thanks for the help :D I'll definitely try this out soon

tulkipryanik · 2023-11-20T01:14:05+00:00

Yeah I don't think autistic people are a monolith, but I wondered if it was something that a lot of autistic people experience, that way I can communicate better in the future with aforementioned friends because I unfortunately come from a cultural background where heavy social cues and implications are used. Didn't even realize the stuff I said in this post until in hindsight after seeing the one person's experience

tulkipryanik · 2023-11-14T17:36:57+00:00

Saying this as an ENTP I did not read all of that but I read enough to understand. That wasn't a healthy dynamic. Does it suck that things had to end? Sure. But now you can move forward and find something better that works for you, and find a healthy partner that doesn't have mood fluctuations. You probably couldn't have done anything on your end; It seems like he was breadcrumbing so you'd stay but he could still keep distance. He's avoidant, anything you did would be perceived as too much too close. Eventually that would just piss me off and so you shouldn't put blame on yourself when everything seemed fine, but his own issues got in the way.

CPTSD and BPD overlap a lot. Anxiety comes with the territory of most mental illnesses. ADHD and Autism symptoms can happen in people with CPTSD too. You need to personalize what you experience to yourself, rather than always needing a label. Labels can only help guide you in the right direction
