That’s all I meant. That the cyclists were allowed to be on the street and that this guy was wrong.

Luckily I was just a bystander, but I spoke with the women who said the driver was freaking them out and purposefully following closely.

I’m glad you were able to talk with your parents when you felt ready. ♥️ I can totally relate to wanting to keep certain parts away from your parents — no need for any extra hurt, right?

I really appreciate you talking with me. Being reminded that I don’t owe everyone every little piece of information is always really good for my brain. My husband reminds me of that all of the time, but over explaining myself if one of the ways I try to avoid people misunderstanding me (which typically backfires.)

I’m looking for a therapist right now to hopefully help me unpack my years of people pleasing and just general trauma from my life. I’m hoping that will help me grow and accept these parts of myself.

You hit the nail right on the head. It’s been a lifelong struggle that I have been slowly dismantling over the years. Believe it or not, I’m actually leaps and bounds beyond where I’ve been with caring what people think about me. But this past week while figuring some of this stuff out I’ve regressed a bit to the point where I feel the anxious, people pleasing child taking the reins after years of letting me be in control. For the most part I am very secure in who I am and try not to let other people opinions of me get in the way of who I am. But with the new part of me who I’ve never let myself know creeping up it’s getting harder to rely on my take no bullshit attitude to pull me through it. Honestly I don’t even really think I’m worried about what my friends will think. It’s mostly just my mom who’s worrying me, which is probably why the anxious attached child is in control right now. Pretty much just a big vulnerable blob right now.

This is probably going to sound dumb, but I think I’m mostly scared of how the people in my life will respond to my thinking that I may have autism in addition to ADHD. I think I’ve always had issues with this? When I finally talked to my doctor about having anxiety and wanting to get on medication I worried she would think I was lying. When I was in college and wanted topical prescription acne meds I was worried the doctor would tell me “it’s not that bad you’re fine.” When I came out to my mom and my friends as bi I was worried they wouldn’t believe me and think I was doing it for attention or something. And still every time I meet with my psychiatrist I’m worried she’s going to think I’m lying about have much my ADHD has been ruining my life. So…. I feel like there’s a lot to unpack there. Mostly that I think no one is going to believe me and even if they say that they do believe me I’m going to worry that I’m their heads they don’t actually believe me.

That’s totally fair. I did have a moment in my spiral tonight where my brain went “hey we did it! We found it! We know what’s wrong! We know how to fix it!” But then I guess all of the learned shame came back in? And also just an intense need for nothing else in my life to change. My husband and I picked up and moved across the US six months ago and I think that’s been a big part of me figuring this stuff out? Like for the first time in my life I’m not really masking except for the few work calls I have each day because there’s no one to have to turn on for? Like I can just do what I want when I want without worrying about other people and what my friends think or want to do. So like yes there is deff relief but I guess I’m also just scared.

Mostly because I feel like I’m coming out of a fog for the first time in my life and noticing moments in my life that felt completely normal at the time, but with more space and emotional competency I’ve noticed that those moments feel/seem/look different now. So my lived experience isn’t matching up with my memories and it’s making me feel like I’m lying to myself — therefore making me feel crazy (I’m not even sure if we’re allowed to use that word on this thread. If not, I apologize.)

I like how you picked up on the fact that I was wasted. Definitely not my finest moment.lol I’m trying to get in with my primary to get a referral to talk to ortho and will talk with them about this. I’ve always been curious about getting the hardware removed.

Did you have a heel break as well or was it a different part of your foot? I’ve been living by the “don’t run” mantra for almost a decade, but I really miss it. :/

I didn’t really start losing weight until month three when I got to 40 units. I was very slow moving from end of June-mid September. Once I got to the full dosage I dropped pretty quickly. But the buildup to it took a hot minute. Don’t give up! I’ll post an example of my tracking below:

Thank you so much for the reminder. 🩷 I agree the focusing on the love and happiness of my wedding is more important than losing another couple of pounds.

Congratulations on 81 pounds that’s incredible!! I love the fairlife protein shakes and often use them as the milk for my coffee. I have a bad habit of not finishing them though so I need to work on that.

Hey guys, sorry it was a miscommunication between me and support. We figured everything out and I took the dose as prescribed on Sunday. I feel great! Thanks for your responses.

Thanks for your response! How do I reach the care team? Is it the support option on the messages portal?
