Kaze Wo Hiku Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I got my new brain meds today! I am optimistic since these were matched with my genotype after I did a test. Apparently, I didn't know this, some antidepressant might not work on some people due to their genotype and how the liver breaks down the medicine. The two medicines I had been on before fell into the category of not having an effect on me. I swear more people should know about this since I basically wasted two years taking medicine that my body wasn't able to break down and use properly so I'm actually excited to try the new ones and hopefully, finally feel balanced again.

Kaze that's awesome if you don't mind me asking what test was it that you took because I feel interested in taking the test if it's in if it's available cuz that might help me try to find alternatives to the Depakote I take Link to comment

It will depend on what insurance will cover. Link to comment

•.*°•☆. Q .☆•°*.• Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 @Ashlex depakote is an anti-seizure medicine, i wouldn't recommend going off of it if your doctors have put you onto it, without talking to your doctors about it first, since i know you do have a history with seizures.

Shay Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 For over a decade I've suffered from severe noise sensitivity(as well as general environmental sensitivities) and fireworks can be a huge trigger for me. Due to changing laws about fireworks where I live, the situation last summer was about a hundred times worse than it had ever been in my three decades of living here. At times it was so bad that I was on the floor in full meltdown mode because it sounded like an air raid going over the house. Because of all of that, I was really dreading the holiday this year. I discovered a technique called EFT and I used it when someone was shooting off fireworks last saturday, that sounded like they were right next to the house even though they were a few streets away. It definitely helped to keep me from going into a full panic attack, but didn't help 100% at relieving all of my stress, but I'm sure it requires practice. I've also been doing some new meditations over the past week or so that have been amazing at elevating my mood and have actually helped reduce my chronic pain even though that's not what they were specifically for. Because of those meditations, I wasn't even stressed out at all today when I'd normally be a sack of raw nerves dreading the fireworks. When the fireworks actually started, I didn't panic in the least. Normally I would have had a jolt of adrenaline and be scrambling for my earplugs or noise isolating earbuds. When the fireworks got to the point where they were starting to get a bit irritating, I calmly popped in the earbuds and put on rain sounds. And I'm not sure if the fireworks were objectively not as bad as last year, but the ear buds seemed to do a much better job than I expected of drowning the noise out. So I was completely fine today. I had this EFT video made by a war vet specifically for fireworks that I had all ready to go, and I didn't even need it. I'm kind of in this state where I can't quite believe how well I'm doing with this, and I wonder what other areas of my life I can improve next. Link to comment
SneezyHolmes Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Had a lovely date today! She is so sweet I can't even. Told her I'd never been to IHOP the other day and she drove me an HOUR just for IHOP. Then we went shopping together and just drove around blaring music and singing like a couple of loons. Can't wait for date #2! Link to comment

Anonymouse Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I am always so pleasantly surprised when people are interested in me in the same way that I'm interested in them. There is no longer a seed of doubt in my mind that I am a full blown lesbian. I had no idea what I was missing while I wasted my time with guys. Being a lesbian fucking rules. Link to comment
SneezyHolmes Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Finally sat down and forced myself to watch 'Good Omens' and let me tell ya, I'm only on episode two but I already love this show! Shame it's only a limited series! 😮 Edited July 11, 2019 by SneezyHolmes Link to comment
Rook Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 I want to get in on the good Omens bandwagon with the only way you can watch it as Hulu I think and I don't want to do a trial but if anyone has any recommendations on where to watch it if it's not just Hulu hit me up I can't believe I'm asking this but if worse comes to worst can I hijack someone's Hulu to watch good Omens Link to comment

SneezyHolmes Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Seconding what Facet said but adding that Amazon does give away free trials of Prime on occasion to their users. I don't have a Prime membership but was given a thirty day free trial and just in time for the hype so it might pay off to be patient and watch it when you have a trial.
