Any tips to combat this? I really hate it.

I own a working line GSD who has become reactive to certain dogs, people and kids. I was working him today at at local park, and when we were heading back to my car, this guy was standing right next to it with his husky. I immediately tried to go around them because my dog really struggles with huskies—especially brown ones—and this one may have even been the one he already has a history with (Simba), though I’m not positive.

I managed to get all the way to my trunk, but as soon as my dog spotted the husky, he completely lost it. I’m trying to wrestle an 80-pound German Shepherd into the car while he’s exploding, and this guy is just… standing there on his phone. He never moved, never gave us any space, nothing. He just stood there with his dog while I was clearly struggling to get my dog safely into the car.

It was unbelievably frustrating. I do not understand why he this idiot wouldn’t move away.

I’m so frustrated by humans and my dog’s reactivity. So tired of not being able to take my dog places and fulfill his needs.

And yes I am working with a trainer.

I’ve been on zepbound since mid July 2025. I’m thinking I might be a slow responder or I need to up doses more than others because I have PCOS. I went on this drug to feel better. I didn’t necessarily want to drop weight fast. I’m okay with moving slow. I have changed my eating habits, but I don’t really track my food. I also indulge myself when I want to. I have very minimal side effects. I know I could be better. I have only lost about 35 pounds, but I feel so much better. I’m not unhappy with my weight loss but wondering if I should really be tracking calories etc. Sometimes I just find it so toxic and exhausting. My starting weight was 275 and I’m down to 241 give or take a .5 lol. I’m currently on 7.5 and debating moving up at my 1 year mark. Over all, I definitely feel better and notice changes in how my body processes food, how I feel, etc.

My question is, is there anyone like me out there? PCOS, went on it to help your body, not just weight loss? Wondering if I should calorie count or just keep on going? Are higher doses needed for us PCOS girlies?

I’ve been on Wellbutrin xl 150 since April 6th. The first 2 weeks I felt like the energizer bunny! It was amazing. I had so much motivation and actually got things done that I was putting off due to depression and anxiety. I think my dose is still working but my motivation that I had isn’t there really. I find it slightly easier to do things but not like it was in the beginning. Occasionally depressive thoughts occur but not nearly as much as before. I’m not sure if I should move up or not. My doctor and I are going to reevaluate in July, but I can always message her! Thoughts?
