I saw a post about a study done on women who took escitalopram antidepressants, where half of them were also given 5mg of creatine monohydrate, and those participants saw significant improvement within two weeks for depression symptoms, and continued to see improvements 8 weeks into the study as well.

As a depressed 33f woman I am intrigued and interested in it. But have no clue where to start. Any brand recommendations? Is it powder only or is it a pill form? Do I HAVE to workout right after taking creatine or will I be ok not to? Anything else you know about it lmk! I’m intrigued and just gathering some intel before making any purchases.

Idk if maybe I got a bad batch or what but Simply Herb Lucky Charmz is the absolute worst flavor of anything I’ve ever had in years. I figured it would be marshmallowy flavored but noOoOoOo this ish is like stale a$$ cereal. Like literal a$$ though. He never tasted anything so bad before. Anyone else ever get this cart flavor and had same experience? Please tell me I just got a bad one or something lol.
It was manufactured 6/24/26 so not expired yet or anything.

I had $0 in my account the other day (Monday 8/3 to be specific) and know for a fact it was at $0 because a bill tried to come out at 6:17am and was declined.

Later that day around 2:15pm I check my account and there’s $225 in there. No transaction history to reflect that at all, no deposits, no pending transactions or deposits, literally no sign whatsoever of where that $ came from.

I transferred it immediately to a different account I have because I’ve had a rough year and thought it was a random blessing. How stupid of me.

Now Venmo tried to take back the $225 and my account is restricted (luckily not negative).

Has this happened to anyone else this week? Random $ with no transaction history for it?

I plan on calling customer service tomorrow to ask if they can at least tell me where it came from or what it was for because now I just feel doubly stupid for having spent the $ on groceries and a bill.

I haven’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. I’m not a flosser and having been super depressed at times, not always a 2x a day brushes, either.

Off of that vague info what is a rough estimate of work that I’m in for?

I don’t have any teeth pain except for if I drink like a white claw or a twisted tea, for some reason. In the back of my mouth.

I get tonsil stones every now and then. I do have post nasal drip.

Sooo what do we think? Do I need all my teeth removed? Lmao. Just curious what dentists might think I’m in for. My appt is Tuesday 7/14 I can provide an update on what they say if anyone actually cares.

I KNOOOOW I know, I know how that sounds trust me I do. But there’s just certain aspects of it that I miss. First and foremost is obviously the weight loss. I went from 220, down to 140 (felt weird tbh) and then sat comfortably at around 155 ish. I never got insanely skinny, I only used for 2-3 years. But my GOD do I miss the weight loss. I remember calling my then-boyfriend because I was ecstatic that my knees finally didn’t touch when I was walking.

I miss the energy. I miss the confidence it gave me, I miss how my social anxiety went out the window. I miss how it made me determined to complete a task. I miss how I viewed the world and how I was more open minded. and you know what? I still slept while on meth. I would literally take naps because I knew too much non-sleep would ruin me. So I forced myself to take naps on it. I still ate, still cleaned my apt, still hung out with family.

Looking back I know doing meth is wrong (it’s been about 7 years since I’ve done it) and I try so hard to not go back to it.

But lately I’m at my second highest weight ever (first is 265, now I’m at 250) and my GOD do I just want to do some to get that ball rolling again. But I have a family now, and I def don’t have any $ to put towards it lmao, nor do I want to dance with the dragon again.

It just sucks being so fat and depressed now (my life and living situation are main causes) and looking back and remembering g how happy I was on meth.

I know, rose colored glasses. I know going back to meth now would just ruin anything I have left. I know that.

But sometimes, man 😩 sometimes I wish I could.

I was on lexapro & adderall before (after the meth; before present time) and loved the combo. Was only 20mg extended release adderall so nothing too wild at all, nor did I abuse it either. In fact I’d only take it on week days and give myself a break on the weekends. I didn’t feel any urges to abuse it or anything.

I just want that mindset back; the positive version of me.

I finally got a golden duck sprite today, and it wasn’t from looting or killing anyone! You know when you open a chest and sometimes the one quest that can pop out is a duck in a glass container? I was doing whatever quest that was and when I was done, it gave me some loot and a golden duck sprite! Was so happy lol. I’ve done those side quests before but this is the first time I’ve gotten a sprite from it!

I also tracked someone from the bus today for their gummy dream sprite 👀 no shame 😅

My partner asked if I could make him a tuna sandwich. I was just gone for an hour and he waited until I got back to ask me to make it for him. But it’s Father’s Day and so I said sure.

I go into kitchen and ask him “how many cans of tuna?” because I wasn’t sure how hungry he was. Crickets. I ask again, and again, and again, and he’s just laughing at some video on his phone.

Then I ask “and do you want a long roll or regular bread?” Then he starts playing an audio from his phone that literally says “bitch shut the fuck up” and he continues playing it OVER AND OVER again when I’m asking him these questions. I asked each question about 5-7 times each, and he’s not answering just playing this stupid fucking audio.

Finally I yell because I’m at my tipping point “can you please just answer my fucking questions????”

Then he says to forget about it he doesn’t want sandwich anymore and anytime I try to speak after that he just tells me to shut up! THEN HE CALLS ME A PSYCHO FOR YELLING.

I’m told him I wouldn’t have yelled at all if he’d just answered my questions about the food HE ASKED ME TO MAKE HIM.

Like I know I’m not crazy I know this is gaslighting to a T or something like that.

It’s been like an hour and I’m still holding a grudge because what the actual fuck????

I’ve been staying at my current hotel for almost 2 months. In the beginning of staying here they said we needed to come down to make the payment for a new check in (our stays are usually 2 days, then 12 days, then 2, then 12, etc due to our paycheck cycles). So I would go down to pay. Then one time a about a month ago I got a phone call from the front desk saying that if I can authorize them to use the card on file for the check-in, I can just do it over the phone instead of having to come down. I said sure! I work from home and have my toddler with me, so not having to go down saves a trip and some morning chaos.

For all of the times since then whenever we had a checkin day they did the same thing - called to get card approval, and usually at 10am

Well today I called around 10:30 because I hadn’t gotten the call yet, and the manager who sounded a little snippy with me, told me that “well ma’am you have to come downstairs to the front desk to do that” I was a little surprised but said ok and told my work chat id be right back. (For info, this manager is one of the ones who has previously called me a few times for card approval for check in days)

When I get down there he was like “yeah well I could’ve charged you the early check in fee but I didn’t do that this time”. Again I was surprised (because I had never been told this before) and said thank you. But in a “thank you..?” way. Because his attitude was what was taking me back lmao.

I am a guest who has not had any complaints since being here, I make friendly chat with everyone who works here when I see them, no complaints against my room from any other guests as far as I know, and it’s not like I’m even the kind of guest to get new sheets & towels every day, you know? If anything I don’t go down often enough for those things because I don’t want to be a bother to them..

So why the sudden switch up in interaction attitude..? Idk I’m really curious lmao

Hi, so I’m normally a console player (ps5) and sometimes I want to play FN on my phone. I have the app downloaded and updated properly but it always gives me an issue signing in. The issue is that when I hit “continue” for wanting to use my epic games account to sign in, it has me sign in with my ps network info and then says that I need to finish “setting up” my epic games account. Then when I put in all my info (email, password, name, display name) it gives me an error saying “this email is already connected to an epic games account” but like??? Why can’t I just log in with my ps info and play! 😂 it’s like it won’t even let me set up an epic games thing?? I downloaded the app months ago and it gave me the same issue then so I gave up, so I’ve uninstalled & reinstalled the app, and have also just updated the app too and here I am trying months later with the same issue. WHY can’t I just log in and play? I don’t want to have to create a whole new email and epic games account just to play on mobile because it’s not like those stats would carry over to FN on the ps5.

Am I like really stupid here or something??

Are there any private landlords in this sub (or do you know anyone) to rent a house or apt or condo from right now? We are 2 adults (32 and 31) 1 kid (3) and 1 cat (13yo, non negotiable - pets ok is a must), looking for a 2br around Warminster/Horsham/Hatboro area. $2k max. Can go as far as willow grove and doylestown ~10 miles from Warminster. Any guidance appreciated!

I 32f have a work picnic on 6/26 and I wfh so I don’t see everyone as often as I used to. Back at Christmas time for the Christmas party I was 260 lbs (I’m 5’5”). I’m at 250 rn (small but mighty steps) and would love to lose another ~15 lbs from 5/5-6/26. Is this possible? How rigorous would I have to be to achieve this? I am already intending on a significant calorie deficit and working out 2-3x a week and generally moving more. I’m a wfh couch potato normally lmao I can’t lie. So I know moving every day and having a calorie deficit will be of the utmost importance for my goal. Any other advice to achieve this? No access to a gym, just at home workouts.

(I should also mention that me losing 10lbs happened kind of randomly from just eating less for a few weeks, I didn’t even put real effort in yet lol)

Last order of the night and it was this 70 item order from wegman’s, originally popped across my app for $37.50. 27 miles. I declined because I didn’t feel like driving that far. Then after 2 other declined orders, it came thru again for 39.50. 2 hours until store closed. I figured f, it I haven’t taken an order this big before, and it could be my last one for the night. 1 hr 20 min shopping (that’s my fault lol I was slow at first then picked up my pace).

I make the delivery and the lady hands me a $10 in cash which was nice. So I made $49.50 on this order, cool!

I just looked at the app though, and was actually shocked at what the DD pay was and what the customer tip (in app) was. $39.50 total on the app. Go on, take a guess!! It was pretty shocking to me lmao

Answer is… DD pay: >!$36.50!< Customer tip: >!$3.00!<

I hope this is the right group to put this in. I was born in 93, and there is a stuffed animal toy that I have been searching for for a long time. I had it as a child and it helped me through a lot of rough patches in my life until young adulthood where it just either broke or I lost it. Unfortunately, don’t have a picture of it, but I do have the description.

It was a yellow crescent moon, maybe 8 to 10 inches long. It had a moon puff on the bottom of it, and it also had sewn on eyes and a mouth. It had a pull string where when you pulled on the string, it played a lullaby rendition of “fly me to the moon “by Frank Sinatra. The moon may have had a sleeping cap on it as well, but I can’t remember for sure.

If anyone has any inkling of a clue of what I’m talking about and could point me to somewhere where I might be able to even look at a picture of it again, it would be greatly appreciated. It’s some random hole in my soul that I just would love to Solve and see that toy again. Like I mean, I used to hold this next to my head while I was crying and pulled the string to hear the lullaby over and over again.

My grandmom and my mom used to frequent strawbridges and Macys a lot (east coast, NJ) so maybe it’s from around there? I really have no clue. Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
