For example, bf always leaves cabinets and drawers open about an inch for no apparent reason. Ironically his ex wife nagged him about it incessantly so he doesn’t do it at his place. I just shut the drawers after initially confirming there was no reason he left it open. It’s such a tiny thing in the grand scheme so I’m willing to tolerate it.

Does that make sense?


Yes. And lately I actually haven’t been nagging. I actually don’t say anything anymore. I just take it off or close the cabinets etc

I guess so. They're just being annoying. I can't use a stronger word because it will star it out.

Maybe it's for the better. I don't know.

But if you’re ok on rexulti then just stay on it, usually you hit a set point and you won’t go higher, it just may be higher weight than you like.

If you want to fight th gain, exercise and a veg diet worked well for me until I got tired of doing it.
Thanks SP. I think I am at my set point but I have to lose weight because I'm way overweight now thanks to this med. I was actually losing weight before I started on Rexulti. Then I gained each time we raised it. I'm exercising (more) but not enough. I need to limit bad carbs and probably quit soda but I'm addicted to soda. Try not to eat meat. Just veggies and beans and rice and stuff like that. Problem is, I eat what my Mom fixes me. I gotta get her to stop cooking meat all the time. We usually have chicken which is healthier than beef, but still, gonna have to do something.

I think sometimes bosses do this to be almost like available to you....it’s actually a good quality in a boss even though with my anxiety I see it as bad when it happens.

If you have the time I recommend learning to cook, you can make so many more fun things and veg is the easiest because it’s not so easy to overcook like meat. And it’s not slimy except okra which is gross anyway.

I don't mind once a day. More than once a day and I get paranoid. I'm like WTH. My coworker told me not to worry about it. So I'm trying not to worry about it. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings when I was like, do you want something? Ugh. Social interactions are not my forte.

This is about you and the rest of your life so decide what you personally want, if they won’t let you back in your family will just have to accept it.

Hugs SK, I’m sure it’s just how your boss is as a person not anything to do with you specifically.

Oh, right, okay. Yeah, sounds like he is concerned about you, whether he knows the full story or just the short version. Is he generally supportive of you and your work?

Dirty mirror selfie.

I’m set kinda. Got my new phone case in, my new hoodie and other things. My dog chewed a hole in my other hoodie, right in the chest area. Got this black one for 9 dollars on amazon. Yeet!

And no I didn’t get another piercing. I bought this fake lip one. Of course the nose piercing is real, for those that don’t know me. I used to have my lips pierced but I took them out cuz it’s such a hassle to eat with!
