So over the last week I had decided to read Ultimate Invasion into Camp’s Ultimates into Ultimate Endgame, and I can’t help but wonder why Camp killed off Cap the way he did. Camp has written probably one of my favorite iterations of Cap in this book. It makes me wonder what a Camp written mainline Cap book would look like.

But then I get to Ultimate Endgame, and again like many have said, it felt the book needed more rooms. It’s like Cap has been built up throughout the entire Ultimates to die an unceremonious death. I get the point he’s trying to make with the next generation stepping up, but it still just doesn’t sit right with me the way Cap died and is then glossed over.

Seeing as I’ve been loving Williamson’s run on Superman and I see he has officially announced his LOSH series for September, I’m wondering what are the essential Legion runs to brush up on them? I have a very little basic knowledge of them only having read Geoff John’s Superman and Legion of Superheroes TPB, Legion of Three Worlds, and The Great Darkness Saga. I’d love particular creator runs or just a certain subset of issues I should read. Any help would be appreciated.

So I have went through flareups of terrible anxiety every few years. Back in 2018, I was 19 and went to the ER thinking I was dying but it turned out it was just anxiety. I made some life changes at the time and ended up being fine. Fast forward to 2024, I was in a good spot, living by myself, loving my job, then it hit me again. I did an intensive outpatient program, and I turned out quite quickly.

Fast forward to today, and I had to leave work on Wednesday due to a terrible panic attack from anxiety. I had met with a psychiatrist at the ER and she had prescribed me lexapro. Long story short, it did not agree with me and made me feel like I was losing my mind. I found myself once again in the ER. They had told me to stop taking it. Over the weekend, I felt so off, and just foggy. I attributed to the medication. But since taking it, my anxiety has been worse. The week before I’d be anxious but I could still go out and see friends for drinks. Now I’m even too anxious to leave my house. I’ve never wanted to go on medication (not that it’s bad or anything like that, I just personally don’t like things that mess with my brain if that makes sense LOL)

I feel ever since I took it though I’ve been worse off? Two weeks ago I was such an outgoing person, constantly going to the gym, going to my friends on the weekend, going on. I know I’m sure it had to do with my job, and how undervalued I feel. I have a new interview coming up at a much better paying job where I feel I’ll also have a lighter workload, but right now it feels so hard to get through the day.

I’d like to stay away from medication now. I have been taking a multivitamin the past few days. I also picked up some magnesium glycinate to start taking this week as well as some Omega-3. I guess I’m just wondering if I’ll be okay again? As well as some natural suggestions for getting through this. I do plan to start an intensive outpatient program this week as well. I know this is scattered and I do apologize

So yesterday I took my first dose of Lexapro and I genuinely thought I was losing my mind. I felt so out of it, felt flustered and hot, uncomfortable, and like I was out of body the entire time. I thought I was losing my mind so bad I ended up going to the ER. I can’t continue, even today I just feel so groggy and nauseous. I know everyone responds different to medication as my brother is on it, and it works great for him. It’s just given me fear of trying other SSRIs

Hey, so this past week my anxiety had finally became too much. I’ve always experienced anxiety but this past week it became crippling with me not even being able to leave my house without going fight or flight, and spiraling into a panic attack. Long story short, I was prescribed Lexapro, Propanol, and HydrOZYzine HCL.

With the Lexapro I was told to do 5MG for a week before bumping up to 10MG. I took my first dose about four hours again, at first I felt hot and just general uncomfortable. Since then I feel just so unmotivated, I haven’t moved of the couch since taking it. I’ve been gassy as well with just general exhaustion. I’m curious how normal this is, or when I’ll gain my motivation back as I’m usually a very outgoing person who never likes to sit in on the weekends
