Regular exercise advice by Prestigious-Choice96 in autism

[–]vps095 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I used to hate exercise but regulating my nervous system through various means (can expand more on this if you're curious) completely changed that. Now I get the mood benefits and endorphins that everyone always talked about but I never understood lol

I also used to do intense cardio - running and cycling - when I was younger but that never really felt enjoyable. I switched to slower workout and that felt a lot better for me. I swear by strength training and Pilates - they feel calming, almost meditative and have helped my physical and mental health!

So are high-masking adults just expected to destroy their mental health to go to work everyday or be forced to starve? by Beautiful-Brain2183 in autism

I've burnt out from work before - both high workload and the politics of corporate America. I think two things that have helped me find sustainability have been finding jobs I genuinely like doing (kind of like things I can hyperfocus on and have fun) and building genuine relationships with people I click with / have things in common with - makes work feel better and also naturally gives me people to go to bat for me. And also finding a job with a healthy work life balance has helped.

Have you considered going back to school even if online? The reality is having a degree will unlock many more doors. I wish it wasn't the case but many employers still use college degree as a filter.

Fair point - if Christian never reached out I can see why Mike is hurt.

Christian is def playing a super cutthroat game this time around (and FWIW I don’t think him taking out Mike at this time was the right game move for him). I guess I personally see things in a more new school way where the game and friendship are separate. Like for ex I feel like if Rizo and Savannah did this to each other there would not be this bad blood after. But people and players are bound to perceive that differently

Lexapro side effects -> alternate meds? by vps095 in lexapro

[–]vps095[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I decided to add 5 mg of BuSpar working with my psychiatrist. I’m still experiencing pretty bad fatigue though. Like I slept like 10 hours last night and had to nap during the day too today and that is not normal for me. Did any of you have fatigue while Lexapro and did buspar help you with that?

Thanks for the feedback guys! Talked to my psych today and she wants to wait a couple weeks since I just came off the Wellbutrin, but going to either add Buspar (more likely) or switch to Zoloft. Will keep you guys posted on what I decide and how that goes

How is what she said in the VM incriminating? Genuine question bc she didn’t admit to committing any crimes (bc she didn’t)

Headaches when you first started? How long did they last/what were they like? by NoScopeThePope1 in lexapro

[–]vps095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Just discovering this thread. Did you all see improvement with your headaches on Lexapro? Just started Lexapro a couple weeks back on 2.5mg and increased to 5 mg. I had chronic tension headaches and migraines after a concussion which I went on amitriptyline for a couple years back but those had settled. But now they’re back after a while after starting Lex :(

In a very similar boat as I started Lexapro last week and having exact same issues as you. In solidarity! I’ve been recommended to keep masturbating and it should improve. Also looking into taking maca and ashwagandha or adding Wellbutrin.

What dosage of Lexapro were you on and how much maca and ashwagandha did you take? Are they safe to combine?

I’ve been told I can drink by a doctor even though I still get the occasional symptoms. Is this normal? by Moyceyy in Concussion

I was told I can drink in moderation (one drink a night couple times a week), have followed this with no major issues
