Just got a prescription for a low dose of Lexapro

Hoping for no... side effects. I've got dates coming up

 

That certain side effect really hasn't created an issue for me. I wouldn't worry too much.

 

Thank you Chris, that is assuring

 

Glad I could help. ;)

 

Yeah I'm on 20 mg and I've been good...in that department.

 

I started a low dose of adderall today and I have 2 questions for you: are/were you a big coffee drinker? i know your username is a twy ref hehe. And 2, are you a smoker of the devil's lettuce?

Today I feel like my mind has wandered a lot less, but I still drank some coffee, and then later today I plan on partaking in said lettuce... I'm wondering if I'm fucking myself up worse by doing either lol

 

I am a pretty avid coffee/soda drinker so I constantly have caffeine going through me lol. I've been way way more focused and more positive and neither coffee nor soda has affected it. I do not regularly partake in The Lettuce™ But I have done it recently and it didn't hinder or harm me in any way. I think you should be ok

 

very good to read, thank you! I'm more worried about the caffeine tbh

 

Double post but today I talked to the one HR person I trust about the write up I got last week. I feel bad kinda pulling her in after the fact, but I don't really feel like asking my boss or VP of HR "hey how's my write up going?" I want to know how this shit works, if my email I sent with the signed document will be reviewed and if it can make a difference, like if they could look at it and then think "wow this write up is a bunch of bull" - and who I should send my doctor's letter to, to add to my file (and for this write up).

Honestly all I want from this is for them to tell my boss to respond to her fucking emails, particularly ones from subordinates ....as part of an active, ongoing email conversation that abruptly ended after I sent my question.

 

Every job I've ever had has negatively impacted my mental health and that makes me feel like a loser.

 

The couple of times I tried Adderall I had some, uh, intestinal trouble the next day

 

Don't feel like I can rant anywhere.

 

Adderrall turns me into a fucking machine...but I'm so much more irritable when I'm on it.

 

I'm always available if you ever want to message me your rants! Hope you're doing okay.

 

Thanks so much Joe you're a gem

 

Why can I never stop feeling empty inside?

 

Have you ever looked back at when you thought things were rock bottom and LAUGH cause you had no idea how much further down things could go aha ha ha

 

HA.



yes

 

It's been 33 days since the last time I purged, so just over a month. Longest in over 4 years!

 

Same here. I'm extremely terrified of the future.

 

I'm anxious about everything and I feel like I'm never gonna get anywhere in life. I really feel like there's no point in my existence

 

Don't feel like a loser because this is exactly what I go through.

 

Today was the viewing of a very close childhood friend. Just want to reinforce that people do care about you, and if you think nobody is there you can talk to, there is a hotline.

 

Had a really awful night. My dad emotionally abuses everyone except for me because I'm too scared to say anything so he leaves me alone and I try to keep the peace. So much has happened tonight and I feel sick from crying. I just want to sleep. Why does he hurt us like this? Why do I feel so trapped and alone?

 

Been sober for over a month now, going to the gym 4-5 times a week. It's amazing what not drinking/doing drugs and exercising has done for my mental health.

I definitely still have struggles but I am less depressed, and less anxious about things. No more cycle of self defeat.
