21F, like the title says I've been on Trin for almost 2 years, it'll be 2 years in October. I had a bad reaction to it in the first 3 months and was having panic attacks all the time while just on 5mg but after I upped to 10mg I felt better and eventually could function again.

I have a job, I can talk to other people without getting intrusive thoughts abt our existence (sometimes lol), I eat 3 meals a day and go to therapy.

But these past few months... I'd say starting from April-May of this year I've been feeling weird.

My spacecial awareness is down the drain, I keep walking into things and hitting my arms and hands on stuff, my brainfog is awful and I often wake up in the middle of the night questioning whether I am consious or not, my insomnia takes up at least 2 weeks of every month, I keep mismatching words when writing AND speaking and I can hardly remember words when actively talking to people which makes my job a little harder.

Idk I had a lot of these things before getting on Trin so Im concerned.

Is there like some kinda time limit people should be on Antidepressants for before it becomes more harmful than helpful? Has this happened with anyone else?

21F here, and 6 months seems to be my limit before I feel exhausted and take less shifts and begin practicing coping mechanisms (maladaptive daydreaming, eating more junk for quick dopamine hits, obsessing over my comfort characters more than usual and doomscrolling as a distraction) more and more.

​

Despite this the first job I had at 16 lasted almost 2 years (however I did begin resenting it around the 6 month mark but only stayed as long as I did cuz my mom was my manager lol) and I couldn't find the courage in me to get another one until another 2 years later. Now I've been working somewhere new but similar (a different optical clinic) for about 8 months and at the 6 month mark I swear it's like a switch flipped... I was working 8hr shifts, dealing with the public all day, 3 days a week but sometimes back to back and was on my feet the entire 8 hrs besides my 30 min break and was doing just fine until after 6 months. I cut my hours to just a day a week but even that feels like too much for me some days.

​

I dunno what to do... Like should i get a new job or just suck it up? This is very tiring... And I'm sure my boss is tired of me calling in for mental health reasons multiple times a month atp. Maybe its just cuz im not very passionate abt glasses and optics despite it being the only field of work I've been in..?

Hi! I got my medusa pierced when i was 17 and took it out when I was 20 and looking for jobs (desperately) I am with a company now that doesn't care abt piercings or tattoos and I am thinking about getting it redone.

I never got stitches or anything like that to "close up" the hole so i still have a pretty deep crevice above my cupidsbow where it used to be and on the inside of my lip when i feel around with my tongue it feels like there is some scar tissue... I would want to get it in the exact same spot. Is that gonna cause complications during healing? I got really sick the first time I got it done but besides that it was fine.

Also feel free to add any other things I should know about getting something re-pierced since I kept all my other ones so this is the first time I'd be getting something again.

My Derm really wants me to take Accutane and after my acne clears, do laser sessions to remove the scarring and any excess stuff under the surface.

I have the prescription for the Accutane but I'm very hesitant to take it since my PCOS is gonna stick with me forever... Won't it just come back? So why spend all that money on laser and risk my health taking Accutane when it probably won't do anything in the longrun?

At least that was my thought process.... Has anyone actually had succsess from either of them or both?

Idk it feels like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound for lack of a better analogy.

I finally got a 120 pack of Ohuhu Alcohol Markers because besides Copic Ive heard great things about them.

Yesterday, I tried them out and they made my eyes a little irritated but it was hardly noticeable and I have dry eyes already so I kinda assumed it was me not the markers.... But then last night my eyes were watery af and when I woke up they were bloodshot and had a small amount of mucous in the corners and hurt.

I panicked thinking I had pink eye somehow but my sister brought up that it coulda been my markers... She then looked it up and apparently Copic AND Ohuhu are known for irritating your eyes from the alcohol.

I had no idea this could happen and now I don't know what to do cuz they work and look really great so I don't wanna send them back but also using them is like micro dosing mace 😭

Is there anyway to combat the irritation the markers give off?

I have a few mental illnesses so I'm unsure which one is causing this if not all of them working together but I get dizzy a lot.

I have MDD, OCD, DPDR ( used to have it regularly but now it's in times of extreme stress) and general anxiety caused by those lovely listed disorders.

I used to be dizzy everyday, from the second I woke up til I went to bed and even felt semi-dizzy in bed sometimes. This continued for months until I got on Antidepressants and it slowed down.

I now only notice my dizziness when I'm either really stressed, overwhelmed or dissociated.

My doctor thought it was a sinus issue but it turned out to not be from anything physical.

Does literally anyone else experience this??? It's so weird. I haven't fallen or anything from it but I do get a full body feeling like I'm on an elevator or sinking into the floor sometimes and then I usually have to sit down.
