So far, pregnancy feels like a chronic illness

37 years old, 9 weeks pregnant. So far, this has been very hard. I feel nausea, I am dizzy, I am tired, I have cramps (yesterday they were so bad I wanted my partner to call the emergency room) my boobs have been hurting terribly for months now, I am tired of having to eat all the time (mostly healthy) because if I dont I feel even sicker. I guess I naively hoped I wont feel THIS bad. I am taking pills (Xonvea) for the nausea on full dose, but in the last week it feels like it has gotten worse a notch. I have no real consciousness that this is gonna result in a baby, so I cant use that motivation to try to accept my state. I guess my age is a factor here. Oh and I hate men now, what a useless pile of flesh. I totally understand why I wanted to wait until going for this. Wish I could be the father honestly. I was a 100% pro choice before this, now I am even more so if possible. I hope I feel better in the second trimester, but one never knows! I just wanna cry. My partner is absolutely supportive and stuff, but he cant make me feel better. It is my body going thru this. If you feel similarly, I feel for you. Hugs.

Slynd. What the heck.

Decided to toss Slynd today. 3 months almost on the dot, skipped placebo. The last week has been an absolute s*it show emotionally. Panic attacks, anxiety, hopelesness, depression, you name it, Slynd caused it. I really wanted this to work for me. I had almost no physical symptoms, my body just kind of adjusted but my psyche never did. Gyn suggested switching to Microgynon (Alesse) but I am so scared of being f-ed again. Also 12 years ago when I tried Yaz I developed an obsession with checking for blood clots. Alesse has low risk for it, which is why the doctor suggested it even tho I dont have any history of blood clots or similar. I am 37 btw. Please if you are planning to try Slynd do so, this may not be your experience with it.

Ritalin suddenly causing panic attacks and anxiety?

Hey, so I have been diagnosed 3 months ago or so. Was started on Vyvanse but didnt like it at all. Switched to Ritalin, and for 2 months or so it worked great, but in the last week or so my mood has been terrible, lots of ups and downs and half an hour ago I had a panic attack similar to the ones I had on Elvanse. I also started hormonal BC (Slynd) for PMDD like 40 days ago, so I am not sure which one is causing these side effects, but they sure remind me of the ones I had on Vyvanse. Is this something that can happen? Ritalin suddenly causing anxiety and mood swings after almost 2 months tolerating it well? I also took brand name yesterday, after being on a generic substitute since I started. Even tho the dosage was the same, it felt stronger, so I went to another pharmacy and got the generic type again. I took that today, and boom panic attack right about the time it should be wearing off. I don't know what to do. I have an appointment with my doctor next week, but considering taking a couple of days break from Ritalin to see if my mood improves.

Just had a panic attack. Not sure what caused it.

I was diagnosed with ADHD just a couple of months ago. 40 days ago I also started on Slynd for my PMDD. This last week I have been in a really crappy mood, up and down, anxiety, sadness, agitation, you name it. And just now I had a pretty intense panic attack. I thought it might be the Slynd, but suddenly it hit me that I had this kind of reaction to Vyvanse as well. Can Ritalin start causing anxiety and panic attacks 2-3 months in? Or is it the Slynd? I am considering skipping Ritalin tomorrow to see if I feel different. This is terrible.

I love all the seasons (including 8 & 9) and some other maybe unpopular opinions

I watched seasons 1-7 3 times, and now on my second watch of season 8 and I will watch 9 too. I gotta say I really like all the seasons. I love Michael, but I dont miss him in the last seasons. It`s like I know he is living his best life with Holly. Also love Holly btw. I think the other characters really got to shine with him gone. Not all of them, but definitely Dwight, Andy, Angela, even Kevin, Gabe. I looooved Robert California too. I totally get why people dont like and even dont want to watch the last seasons, but I am just happy I get to enjoy more seasons. 😃 Not sure on Jim and Pam tho, but hey, they could not have been perfect for the whole run.
