I'm posting this to look for advice from people who might've gone from the same situation as me or just anyone who could help me clear my head

I was recently prescribed amitriptyline for migranes, anxiety and sleep. This medicine sounds like it could be a huge help for me in so many ways (in case it actually work on me well) but I come from a background of really bad ED and I am terrified of gaining weight.

I know this might sound stupid to some people but Im sure some people can understand the absolute fear of being unable to control your weight

The side effect of having increased appetite wouldn't be so scary for me as also knowing that this drug also slows your metabolism and hearing other people's experience even with working out and eating properly they still put on a lot of weight.

I know everyone's experience is different and i might not have the same side effects but i still can't bring myself to take it no matter how logically I know it can change my life for the better

(I did talk to my doctor about my issue with the gaining weight, all he said is that this medicine shouldn't cause this side effect... Typical doctor bs)

Mermaid melody being my first ever anime at around the age of 6-7 I liked the anime and was pretty obsessed with it my whole life but never realized how distorted my memories and opinions were, I'm so glad I finally decided to re watch it and finished both seasons last week.

First of all, I owe the biggest apology for my baddie Rina. As a kid I remembered her being very cold and boring (which was only half true for like one episode) after the rewatch she became one of my top favorites, what a great and well written character (arguably the best written in the show).

And speaking of favorite characters, oh my god the trio of Karen noel and coco was a gem for me. This might be an unpopular opinion but season 2 was the peak of mermaid melody and tops season 1. Noel and coco were so funny and brought out Karen silly side (which was a complete shift from s1, she did feel like a different character entirely). They made the series feel much more lighter and fun

The ROMANCE !!!! Rina and masahiros relationship, PEAK !!! Nagisa and hanon were also very very sweet. Most of all i know most people are mad about this plot point but I absolutely loved kaito being away from luchia. Luchia had such a character development there, seeing her dealing with kaito and mikaru she handled everything very maturely and still kept being kind besides everything and yet she still has her breaking points and felt very humane. I personally never cared much for kaito and luchias relationship so just seeing her being on her own for a while was refreshing for me and the other girls relationships were so much more engaging and emotional, especially considering that they had to deal with the topic of having to say goodbye one day unlike luchia.

My only down side to s2 were the villains, I missed the dark lovers so much. Sheshe and Mimi's conclusion also broke my heart

Overall I truly cannot tell if this is just my love for the series and bias talking, if a stranger to mermaid melody went on to watch i can't imagine they'd be able to tolerate it for more than 5 episodes. But I love it now more than ever before.

I'm so surprised by how fun and great all the characters were, I wish Sarah's backstory was adapted into the anime and that the ka-no-co trio had more screen time. But for a supposedly "kids" show it managed to draw me in even after so long.

Now I'm on to read the manga to complete the experience since I've heard there some big differences there for better or worse. (No I will not read aqua)

This was a long post, if you read it so far or just happened to jump here please let me know what was your opinion if you also got to rewatch it during your adulthood and what changed for you :)

TLDR: is it okay to take one 150mg pill in the morning and another 150mg at night?

Okay so I know the title is pretty confusing, I fully acknowledge I might not get any professional advice but I would really appreciate to hear your opinions / personal experience

I've been on Wellbutrin 150mg xl for around half a year now, I'm not exactly sure how much it has affected me but I was told by my close friends that my mood definitely seems better and more stable.

I have talked to my doctor to increase my dosage to 300 to try and see if it helps with my focus. I upped my dosage to 300mg for around 2-3 weeks before but was getting very jittery, unmotivated, and pretty panicky.

Since then I lowered it back to 150mg and I'm all back to normal but I can't shake the feeling that maybe if I tried to tolerate it for longer eventually I would stabilize and feel better, so I again increased my dosage but on the first day I already get so shakey its unbearable and I immediately stop.

Would it be helpful to split my dose (not split the pill itself!!) one 150mg in the morning and then another 150mg at night? Could it maybe help my body slowly adjust to the dosage? Maybe slowly take the evening pill earlier until eventually I can take the 300 mg at the same time?

I grew up very depressed and traumatized, I had a bad childhood both at home and at school. Because of that I was very mean to everyone around me, I hurt people, and was very egoistical and selfish to protect myself I guess.

I am now 23 years old, which isn't much but I can barely remember my life. I only remember around 30% from the age of 6 to 20. Most of my memory loss is caused because of drugs abuse, overdosing and trauma.

I started healing around the age of 20 and I'm still in the process, during this process I've been having sudden memories surfacing and flesh backs to my childhood and I don't recognize myself, it's like the old me literally died. I feel like I'm stuck in a body that isn't mine, these memories belong to someone else who isn't me. I can remember things but it's like it never happened to me, I see it from another persons perspective.

But even though I've changed and became a better person (I think) I'm still stuck with the mistakes and regrets my past self made. She died but I took over and need to deal with all the trouble she caused.

I lost many people who were amazing to me because of my behavior, I even lost contact with family members and only now Im processing everything and grieving all my past relationships

I wonder if anyone else have a similiar experience. It's been hard to deal with this healing process

Hello, I have been drawing for the past few years using an ipad and would like to start using a drawing display.

I do own cintiq 16 and have been using Wacom for many years but overall moved on to using an ipad since it felt more comfortable for me to have a touch screen as I never got used to keyboard shortcuts / the Wacom pad (and also it's nice to be able to work anywhere without the need of a computer)

I am now wanting to get a new cintiq that will be as close as possible to the experience of using an ipad but one that will be connected to my PC as I need to move a lot back and forth between Photoshop and my other programs. My main focus is to have a fast responding touch screen I could use to zoom in and out, move the canvas, double tap to undo etc. any recommendations?

I've been looking into the cintiq 24touch, 27, and then also saw the 22 pro that are extremely expensive so I don't know if it's worth it.

Any help or leads on which version would work best for my needs would be super appreciated !

Looking for ideas! Placement on body does not matter.

ANYTHING BUT THE USHIROMIYA EAGLE PLEASE!!

THANK YOU!

Hello migrane friends, I've been suffering from migraine every month in the past year or so, at the beginning of my migrane journey I used to take paracetamol which worked good for a while and then just one day stopped working completely, ever since then I've just been enduring the migrane pain until last month I finally got to try sumatriptan which not only worked on me incredibly fast it also seemed like I completely stopped having migranes for a while...

That's until 3 days ago, where I got a migrane again and took my sumatriptan and it did nothing on me, increased the dosage as prescribed by doctor and still nothing. The migrane wouldn't budge. It's been 3 days now of non stop migrane and non of my meds work, is that normal for my body to get used to these medications so fast? I don't know what to do anymore I can't even get up to go to the toilet, every movement makes my head throb

I keep seeing people treating Jessica's condition as completely fake and that she never had one in the first place, assuming this obviously comes from her admitting to faking it in episode 7 I was thinking what she meant was that "sometimes she fakes it to change the subject " = she has it but sometimes fakes it, not just straight up never had it at all.

This is just a silly thing I had on my mind so I was wondering what you'd think because I understand how this can be interrupted in 2 different ways (fakes it and never had it, sometimes fakes it but does have it ) and I tend to see more people thinking the former, going as far as to theorize that nanjo knew it was fake but played along with her . maybe I missed something ?

Please bring a witch to state the truth in red

Repeat it. Jessica's condition is REAL!
