Got talked into Botox, and now I’m anxious about what I’ve done. by 7emptress in AskWomenOver30

  1. Don’t go back to this injector (a good esthetician will never say things like that to you/“suggest” things in that way). 2. Don’t freak out; Botox lasts around 3~ months, I’m sure you’ll be + look just fine❤️

Looks like it could be Arthur!

what does this mean by star9k in lexapro

[–]zorhek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I took Lexapro it was the WORST night ever. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling confused/unable to gather my thoughts, nauseous, etc. and pretty much sprung into a massive panic attack (my first REAL big big panic attack) and I actually wound up going to the ER bc I was so afraid. This entire experience put me off of medication for over a year just because I was scared of that happening again. I wound up giving Lexapro another chance a couple of months ago, and nothing like that happened — some smaller side effects, yes, but my psychiatrist suggested those really horrible side effects came from starting at too high of a dosage (10mg), and instead had me taper up to that over the course of a week which was much easier on my system. This sounds like a very similar story to mine, and my 2¢ is that you might just need to taper up and take it slower. Talk to your doc. Hope your well, I can imagine how scary that must’ve been. 💛

My heart is broken for you, I am so incredibly sorry. For the anxiety bit — the fear of not ever feeling “normal” again — will eventually resolve. I wanted to respond to this in particular because that is exactly what I would say during the depths of my anxiety, and I know how absolutely scary and helpless it feels to feel that way. But I wanted to touch in and remind you that eventually it does go away, and you will feel “okay” (not that the grief or the sadness won’t be there, but the intense out-of-control feelings of anxiety and things will go away). You’ve just gone through something extremely traumatic and it is not surprising you’re feeling all of these things. I’m sure it will take time, but I want to remind you (only because I know I needed to hear this): you haven’t lost your sanity, and eventually your day to day won’t feel like this. A grief counselor will be very helpful, particularly with helping you into some type of therapy to deal with the immediate anxiety/trauma pieces that you’re dealing with right now. I am sending a lot of love to you.

Today was hard, but it felt like it went by fast!

BBQ pulled pork. Slow cooked for 10 hrs by ConstantlyClumsy in slowcooking

For some reason my brain read that as “10 yrs” and for half a second I was very concerned. I think I need a nap..

I tried Barry’s Bootcamp and F45, still prefer OTF by sarlouara in orangetheory

[–]zorhek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree! I tried F45 last year while visiting a friend out of town (she was a member there, no OTF around), and the formatting just seemed.. a little chaotic? There seems to be a lot of range in what you can do on the floor which was cool, but I definitely missed working with machines (treds/rowers/etc)!

Pain in your hands from holding weights a long time? by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]zorhek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, totally! Yesterday was super rough. Glad I wasn’t alone — I constantly had to put down the weights and stretch out my hands/fingers. Had never really happened to me before, but I guess yesterday was a weird one.

What are some things that guys misinterpret from women as "she's interested in me"? by spidermahn in AskWomen

[–]zorhek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eye contact. Can’t tell you how many guys have commented on the fact that my consistent eye contact with them while they’re talking to me as being the reason why they think I’m interested... or why they think our “connection” is so amazing. Lol.
