Roll Call 192

I'm probably never going to realistically get down to the weight I want at least while on the meds I'm on. But I can still make healthy choices, increase my physical activity and stop eating so little/not enough that I get physically sick. It's still good for me to do those things even if the scale doesn't seem to want to budge past what I'm at now, 167 lbs. Idk. Maybe the weight will come off eventually maybe it won't but I'm gonna try to stop obsessing over numbers and just be happy it hasn't gone up at all. I'm actually down from 172. It's not a huge difference, 5lbs. But I seem to have maintained the loss the past month.

There are many ways to lose weight - Sugar industry made sure to propagandize and spread disinformation about food etc.

The diet of hunter gatherers is key. If we eat like them, we'd be very healthy.

I'm making codfish (not the battered kind, the plain kind baked). w/ broccoli cheddar rice and vegetables tomorrow

I want to make something for my sister, like some kind of dessert. She's in the midst of separating from her husband of 25 years. She's also working on selling their house so she's got a lot going on right now.

Feel like you're "All over the place?" Here's what to do | Sue Sundstrom.com

I can't accept any advice about these things!

WastingAsparagus · Mar 31, 2022 at 08:47 PM

I officially sent in my thesis proposal. I should feel proud for doing that. I guess I am somewhat proud. Anyway, this is actually happening.

WastingAsparagus · Mar 31, 2022 at 08:48 PM

I really felt depressed though today. I hope my psychiatrist can raise my dose of Effexor. I have been struggling lately.

I feel like I'm all over the place for sure. I just don't know what to do with my days. It's difficult right now.

Desoxyn · Mar 31, 2022 at 09:39 PM

I'll be taking on a second part time job... I'll make some extra money - Not sure how I'll handle it but I'll try.

I'm only doing it for money + to help people out.. It could be good for me idk. It could also be bad.

I'll need 2x 15mg Dexedrines twice a day - So I'll ask my psychiatrist about that. It's the only way that I'll have enough motivation/energy to do it.

Although my meds are pretty good. Zopiclone is a lifesaver for falling asleep. I've been on zopiclone for 3 years without any problems.

Then.. Idk if I'll have time for myself - And what to do.. It's like I'm swimming in a pool of colourful nonsense.

It's like all of us, talking here.. while a crack opens up in the ground and we are seeing people, falling into hell - and we're just holding onto the thing.

Desoxyn · Mar 31, 2022 at 10:09 PM

Nah.. Maybe 60mg of Dexedrine is too high - I'll talk to my psychiatrist about it. I'm sure my dose right now is fine.

Long-Term Benzodiazepine (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan) Use Destroys Neural Connections in the Brain

I knew I wasn't wrong when I say that Klonopin dulls my senses. Hah. I mean I'm not responding to anyone in particular on the forum. Just the fact that I knew my two cents were always right on this. My intuitions about the Klonopin have always been right.

Just had my ultrasound…something is up….tech said I’m just a tech I can’t say anything but call your doc today and if you have that pain again goto er. Anyway, last thing they were on was my ovary which wasn’t even part of this order so I suspect that. I guess I just have to wait to find out.

Blue_Bird · Apr 01, 2022 at 10:25 AM

Hope everything turns out okay and hope you get some relief soon SP

Blue_Bird · Apr 01, 2022 at 10:28 AM

I'm ordering Stash this scratching post today

Hopefully she likes it, she's been scratching on the carpets lately so I'm sure she will enjoy it once she tries it out

I'm also ordering her 32 cans of cat food, so she should be set for over a month

And I'm putting down the $30 deposit for her spaying appointment

Stash is so spoiled in a good way

She's a good girl

The maintenance people came over to change my air conditioning filter today, they were so amused to see her because of her mustache, lol they had never seen her before

Blue_Bird · Apr 01, 2022 at 10:53 AM

They also mentioned that my apartment was very clean. They weren’t there to inspect or anything but that made me feel good because I’m always worried that it’s not
