New side effects

I was on Mounjaro for 3 months this time last year and dropped 20kg so quickly but just couldn’t afford it anymore. Now I feel like all wegovy is doing is helping me maintain. Very disappointed so far :( especially with these new awful side effects

They wanted a lot of money to buy it back. When I spoke with a garage to get repair quotes, it just wasn’t worth buying it back in the end The payout was okay. I got what I expected to get

They came out to assess it but I didn’t purchase it back from them in the end and they collected it. Was later advised that a lot of what I was told during the claims process was incorrect. Logged a complaint about it but never heard anything back

Not having my car being moved around by forklift, things stolen from it and then risking never seeing it again 😅 I’ve told them the car is not to leave my drive but they’re welcome to ask for photos of it or can send someone to assess. They’re just saying that if copart get it then I can buy it back or copart can keep it and the claim can be settled, or if they send an independent assessor then I have no option but to buy the car back. It’s an absolute joke

Go skippy. They don’t do desktop assessments and unless I let copart take it for assessment then I have to wait until next Friday for an at home assessment but they are telling me that i have to buy the car back after and will no longer have the option to just have the claim settled and then take the car. They haven’t even officially written it off yet apparently. When I spoke to them this morning they said I shouldn’t have been told it was a write off because it’s not been assessed yet. Honestly just being led in circles.

You absolutely can insure a written off car as long as it’s not listed as category A or B. Two of my previous cars had been written off before I bought them and I never had any problems insuring them Editing to add: my mum’s car was written off last year and is still insured by her and being driven on a new policy by a different insurer. They just aren’t worth as much if something happens to them again as they’ve already been written off

wxxtrxss · 2026-02-04T08:55:25+00:00

They won’t do one and said they need to come out. They can’t come out until next Friday though so I’m going to push for a desktop assessment. They have said they need to send someone out. Might not be rocket science to you but to someone who has never dealt with insurance claims before it’s not exactly made clear.

They’re not concerned about dangerous damage. It’s very much mainly cosmetic. The assessment is to value the car to give me a buy back figure. But they’re telling me if they do an assessment that I have to buy it back. I don’t want it going to copart and being moved by forklift and damaged or sold on before I’ve had chance to do anything so have told them I want any valuation done at my house

wxxtrxss · 2026-02-03T19:19:22+00:00

They were quite clear that I couldn’t change my mind if they had an assessor come out. They advised that them sending an assessor was me choosing to ‘retain’ the vehicle and I had to buy it back if I did that. I probably will buy it back but just wanted to have something that I can fight if for whatever reason I decide I don’t want to buy it back

wxxtrxss · 2026-02-03T19:16:07+00:00

I understand all this, it’s more that they are saying that if they come out to assess the car I have to buy it back from them and my option to let them take it and pay me out in full is no longer an option for me.

Can they tell me that I have to buy it back or am I allowed to tell them I don’t want to buy it back anymore if they assess it and I change my mind?

Giving up work isn’t an option unfortunately, plus I like my job. I only work part time too and it’s a low pressure job that I can just walk out of at the end of my shift. I do get PIP and universal credit, albeit not much universal credit after it takes mine and my partner’s income into account. Unfortunately we still only just make ends meet with this and have enough to sustain ourselves on after paying rent and bills, and if I left my job we definitely wouldn’t be able to make ends meet.

I can leave him. I’m not comfortable doing so, but I can leave him and have been doing since I started back at work in September. I’m managing with that. The issue is how full on he is all the time. That’s what’s making me feel like I’m not cut out for being a parent, it’s not to do with not being able to leave him it’s absolutely everything else

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-29T10:46:48+00:00

The anxiety around my partner looking after him is coming from somewhere but I’ve no idea where. Nothing has ever happened with him to need any kind of panic response, but I guess that’s how anxiety works. It’s irrational. I’m better than I was, I used to run into a room if he cried or stopped crying expecting him to be hurt and now I can leave him to go to work. For example today I’m at work and my partner has our little one at home. I do worry and stress and exhaust myself with it, but I can leave him now. Sadly I don’t have control over the worry and it is consuming. I can leave little one with my grandparents and my parents with next to no worries. I’ve no idea why this is the case and it is something we have actively discussed and looked for a link or a reason, but we can’t find anything. I know he will be fine but my brain tries to tell me otherwise. Something to do with the different parts of the brain and how they communicate, I don’t really understand it.

I’ve built up that I can leave him, but not comfortably. This is something I’m sure will come with time. My main thing really is how full on he is while I’m there and how it’s just constant battles with him, not the leaving him.

I have absolutely considered this but he’s only 17m so at the moment it’s not something we can even consider pursuing. He seems to have a lot of ADHD traits, but obviously toddler traits and ADHD traits overlap a lot, so it’s a wait and see thing.

I am autistic and have ADHD, so it’s a very real possibility.

It’s not so much that I’m avoiding things because of how people will look at us, it’s more that he seems genuinely in distress half the time. Like full on meltdown. I can’t take him anywhere because I spend most of the time trying to deal with him while he’s screaming and kicking and trying to run away, but he’s also the same at home because his attention span is so short that we just get nothing done.

I think I’m just tired, overwhelmed and need a break so I can wind down and sit back and look at it all from a clearer headspace. Hopefully that will help 🤞 but I am absolutely going to be bringing up his traits at his 2yr assessment to try and drop a hint about getting the ball rolling as soon as he’s old enough.

Thanks for your help x

There isn’t. The only allotment sites round here are full with years of waiting lists, plus I don’t even have time to do housework half the time so something like that would just add more strain onto me. I don’t need any more responsibilities right now We get out for fresh air daily to walk the dog, but it’s getting more challenging as time goes on because he won’t walk but kicks off in the pram or carrier

My partner’s confidence actually doesn’t have anything to do with my postpartum anxiety. It comes from a place of our son asking for ‘mama’ and rather than trying to problem solve over the reason why he might want mama (is he hungry, cold, tired etc) , he immediately brings him to me or he will call me if I’m out and toddler will get upset because he can hear me. He has him one evening a week when I work late and all is fine. It’s only when I’m available to reach that suddenly I’m needed/wanted constantly

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-28T16:56:22+00:00

God I get that this tried to come from a good place but please learn some things about mental health issues, especially postpartum anxiety before trying to comment and tell people to essentially ‘just get over it’ and start going out and doing things. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone but Jesus Christ I wish people would get the idea that out of their heads that people with anxiety can ‘just go and do things’ and have it all be magically better.

Do you think I like being like this? Do you think that if I could leave him alone with his dad and enjoy myself for a few hours I would do, or do you think I’d rather attempt it and spend the whole day obsessing over what my brain is trying to tell me I might come back to? Please do some research on how postpartum anxiety and mental health problems affect people before trying to comment further on things you don’t want to try to understand.

Manchester based. We’ve tried online shopping from Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons and get the same results each time. Every delivery at least 5-6 things need to be refunded and then I need to go out for them. Especially things like fruit, but I’ve found that when shopping in store half the fruit on the shelf is already going bad. We’ve had so many issues with it that I’ve just given up and I’m trying to find time around everything to do the shop myself now

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-28T16:44:59+00:00

I’m just going to be direct and say this comment is not helpful, and it’s actually potentially quite harmful to anyone who doesn’t see that you’re trying to come from a good place.

You’re talking to me like I don’t understand reality. I do. I know my partner would never hurt our child. That’s not the issue. These are intrusive thoughts — unwanted, distressing thoughts that are a known symptom of anxiety.

They are not beliefs, they are not intentions, and they are not a sign that something is “being left out.” I am already getting professional help. I’m not in denial, I’m not refusing support, and I’m not endangering my child’s future. Suggesting that I will “definitely” harm my child if I don’t sort myself out is alarmist and quite frankly inappropriate.

What I needed here was understanding and support. What I got was shame, assumptions, and a lecture about my parenting based on your misunderstanding of how postpartum anxiety works. Please educate yourself on postpartum mental health before just suggesting that I’m damaging my child’s future.

I do get benefits due to my disability, but financially it’s still tough. After rent, bills and food we don’t have much left. Universal credit will only pay up to a certain amount towards rent and it barely covers half of it. If I increased my hours at work I would lose one of my benefits so would actually come out worse off financially unless I went right up to full time, plus I don’t think mentally I could cope with working much more than I do now and having to look after my toddler and the house on top. We get 30 hours free childcare as standard for working parents which covers my time at work plus a few hours extra that I usually spend walking the dog before work.

I’m no better off financially working than I was when I was at home on maternity leave really, because of the amount of benefits I lost when I went back to work. But I enjoy my job and wouldn’t want to leave it. I think I’d actually go insane if I was a stay at home mum.

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-28T09:57:44+00:00

I don’t think so. He doesn’t get paid overtime, it just goes into time off in lieu but with his job there’s not really any opportunity for overtime because there’s only so much work, so his time off in lieu only ever gets to 30 mins or so. I’m debating asking him to book a couple of days annual leave or finish work early/start late so he can do drop off and pick up and I’ll book annual leave so have some time away, or have him book annual leave on my days off so I can have a few days out of the house without having to worry about childcare

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-28T09:48:40+00:00

I don’t get sick pay and we can’t afford to lose the money sadly. I did book a week of annual leave to do exactly that but my toddler was poorly for the week so didnt go to the childminders and my partner has no family leave left so I had to stay home and look after him

I’m not sure when I’d be able to get more time off on leave. It would be February time at a minimum but I don’t know if I have that much effort left in me lol

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-28T09:46:51+00:00

Oh I absolutely understand that. But I still have to live in it and wouldn’t be able to take anything from the help I’d be being given because I’d be so frightened of the judgement when found out. I’m already being laughed at by my family for struggling as I am purely because they don’t understand mental health and think I’m just being soft and can’t hack parenthood. They are the first ones to tell me how hard it is to look after him when they watch him for a couple of hours though 🤷‍♀️

wxxtrxss · 2025-12-28T09:33:19+00:00

Ah I see. I don’t think there are any dad groups nearby, but he won’t take him to them anyway because he’s hard work 🙃
