'Safe'
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yes, Calli.
Bye, TH.
GP got banned because she was snarking about a dude she had blocked who'd been creeping on her and other members via PM. They were both asked to leave. She refused to go of her own accord. Dude in question was someone I couldn't stand either, initials MG. The dudes were another reason I left, frankly.
Oh, THAT dude. Yeah. Umm. Fuck that guy.
She's gone, but her final thread continues to be a shit show. It's kind of revolting.
Personally having a really shitty run of days, and I'm not sure what to do about it. The anxiety hasn't been this bad in 5 years. I feel stuck.
I always feel weird coming in here when I haven't been in a while, but I'm right there with you, Maria. As I just said in Natter, I don't think my AD (fluoxetine) is working anymore, i.e. I haven't showered in two days and can barely get off the couch.
Dear ones, please do what you need to in order to get unstuck.
I've been having panic attacks often. Two days in a row now, which is very unusual for me. Shit is overwhelming, but I'm trying to get a handle on it.
Amy, I meant to say, SSRIs can just stop working. It's a known thing. Awesome Doctor refers to it as "pooping out." Switching to another SSRI may be all you need to do, if the fluoxetine was working.
Amy, I commented in Natter, but what Steph said. It's one of the things my husband has found most frustrating to deal with regarding my depression. What do you mean it just stops working? Why? What do you mean they don't know why? Can't you predict it? Not at all? It's just basically a toss-up?
Ugh, Amy. I'm sorry you are too.
I don't even know where to begin. I have never taken meds. I don't have a doc or therapist here. It's always been a "gonna get through this on my own" thing. But I feel like I'm vibrating out of my skin.
Maria, the way I tried to narrow down finding a therapist -- if that's what you want to pursue -- was by searching on Psychology Today's find a therapist listing: [link] and seeing who sounded like someone with expertise in my issues AND who was on my insurance plan.
If you decide you might want to pursue therapy -- it is HARD as shit and painful and ugly, but it's also REALLY helping me, more than I thought it ever, ever could -- I'd recommend using that website to try to narrow it down.
