Anybody feel like they had crazy weight gain on Prozac? I am switching from Zoloft to Prozac due to major weight gain and inability to loose weight on Zoloft. I’ve been thin my whole life. Curious if anyone experienced that on Zoloft and had a better experience with weight on Prozac. I of course know everyone’s different.

Anyone else notice vision changes when starting Zoloft .. I read it’s a possible side effect.. curious if your vision when back to normal after stopping the Zoloft?

Anyone feel very depressed/angry/irritable if they miss a dose ?..

How has Pilates changed your life? How many classes/years are you in? When did you first notice a drastic change in your body?

I F29 have been married for four years. And tbh, I’ve been thinking about leaving for what feels like my whole marriage. There are many things that make me unhappy. We have two kids together who are the most amazing children. I’m just so unhappy in the marriage, I can’t imagine continuing this way for the rest of my life. I just don’t feel know how to leave, I have my masters but I haven’t worked in years. I’m a SAHM now. And honestly, even if I went back to work, I don’t think I can afford to provide for my kids on my own in the state I live in. I feel so stuck.

I have had a problem with drinking since my college years, on and off. Once I started, I could never stop, until I just blacked out. I have had periods throughout the past couple of years where I didn’t drink at all- and the longest periods when I was pregnant with my two kids. My first child born summer of 2023- I was sober during pregnancy of course and for about four months postpartum. Around month 5, I had severe, severe post partum depression/ anxiety / OCD. I started drinking vodka ( the devil for me ). When my baby would go to bed, I’d start doing shots of vodka until blacking out. Yes, it was insane. I’m ashamed of myself thinking about it.

My husband would get angry, try to argue with me WHILE I was drunk. We were very on the outs. As the months passed the vodka binge drinking was on and off. The summer came around and it got bad. I was having booze delivered to the house by DoorDash.

My husband has always known I’ve had a bit of a problem on and off throughout the years but it was NEVER this bad. That summer we had a party at our house for MY birthday, and I blacked out. He was left holding the bag, hosting 30-40 people at our house. I acted dumb, but everyone else just thought “she drank too much on her bday like we all do sometimes”. Until he proceeded to tell many people, what was going on.

I truly believe in my heart, my husband told people out of anger, that he was left to host and cook on his own, and just his anger of me, rather than turning to my loved ones for help.

The next day my parents came by, and literally everyone was mad at me. I tried explaining to them what I was going through, how I felt I just couldn’t stop. And pretty much everyone just wanted me to suck it up, and I guess just didn’t wanna believe I’m an alcoholic? These were the closest people in my life, my parents, so this was devastating. I think my dad denies the alcoholism in our family bc he has lots of trauma growing up with an alcoholic mother.

I truly felt like I had nobody.

I could live with him telling my parents, even tho I feel it was not with sincerity or looking for help, just anger. Because when my parents were lacing into me about what an asshole I am, he did not defend me once and say “well I truly believe she has an addiction etc”. However, I still to this day cannot live with how he told some of our friends and made a fool out of me.

Fast forward, things got a little better for the rest of that summer and at the end I got pregnant with second child. Of course stayed sober during pregnancy.

And now this time around - he shows compassion - he’s proud of me for joining AA- I no longer black out on vodka- i don’t touch it- however I’ll have two glasses of wine at night, without blacking out or being drunk, and I’ll justify it in my mind that “at least I’m not getting drunk in front of my kid”. He claims he finally understands that I cannot help it- and that it is a disease.

However I’ve been sober 8 days and I’m feeling fantastic. But today, something happened that made me thing of what happened that summer, how betrayed I felt by him , by everyone- and it lead me to tears and anger.

Curious if anyone has dealt with a similar situation. I don’t know if I can ever look at my husband again the same, after the way he made a fool out of me with our friends and told our other business as well about our sex life, and because I don’t believe he told my family either about it in hopes of them helping.

Like I said everyone just laced into me and told me what an asshole I am for drinking like that and door dashing booze as a mom.

Just looking for somebody to relate. I am an alcoholic obviously. I haven’t drank in about a week and I’m feeling good. However, Today was super challenging and stressful with my two toddlers. I was losing it, but I still didn’t drink. How to deal with the stress? Hoping to connect with other moms who understand.

I recently started potty training my son. My 2.5 year old does excellent with peeing, almost no accidents, however he will not poop on the potty even though I know he has to go. However, he will not go in his pants. So he will literally go on the floor, after sitting on the potty for 20 mins. Any suggestions for this?
