Hi!!! I'm looking for penpals too! Would you be interested?

Hi!! I'm looking for penpals too! Would you be interested?

Hi! I'm looking for penpals, not for hooking up/dating. I'm collared and monogamous. I love the idea, brings me back to when I was younger writing friends. I love putting stickers on and using fun pens. I'm 28 and a middle and love animals, food, music, shows and tv, nature, hippie vibes ✌️. Just looking for friends :)

hey sweetie! So sorry you're having a rough go of it coming off the prestige! A couple months back i stopped my Wellbutrin without talking to my Dr but I didn't have any problems with that one. I can tell you a few years ago I was on Ultram (prescription Pain Medicine ) I was having lower back issues, and I was on it for I think about five months before I had my back surgery. And I had the absolute worst withdrawal coming off of that! I was sick as a dog! Like I couldn't even sit up and the world would start spinning on me!! You might be able to reach out to your provider and ask if they could give you something for the nausea. Or you could ask if it's OK to take something over-the-counter. Sometimes the medicines that you take for motion sickness can help. Like the two over-the-counter ones that I've used are just Dramamine and meclizine. But I definitely wouldn't try those unless you've talked to your doctor to make sure they're not gonna interact with your other meds. Otherwise just taking it easy, eating frequent small snacks and meals kind of helped me. Definitely make sure you stay plenty hydrated! like one of those drinks with electrolytes like Pedialyte or even Gatorade. (I think the Pedialyte even comes in like a freeze pop) And I found laying down with a cool compress on my forehead or the back of my neck really helped! Hope this helps a little bit . sending you some big hugs as well!

I was just wishing for a whole playroom the other day where I could decorate it and have all my little stuff in. Then lock it up and just tell people it’s a storage room or something hehe. I don’t have an actual room for that yet, though. Might get a little she shed in the future, but make it a little shed instead. im still very shy when it comes to being a little. I want toys to play with, but still feel weird asking for them or spending money on them. I have lots of stuffies that are all over the house, and I have coloring books and crafts, but I really want my little ponies and a baby doll. I really want a baby doll to take care of. I think, like you, I am thinking maybe keeping them in a closed tote in my closet for now so people don’t see when they come over. I don’t have any small children in my home to play it off as.

*little wave hi* I want to be very careful and preemptively say I am not a medical professional and this is out of my licences wheelhouse as a therapist. 🤣 But speaking just from the place of supporting others as their doctors make changes to medications or wean them off, I will agree completely with what you wrote. It can be common coming off an SNRI to experience the symptoms you named. Sometimes talked about as FINISH (flu-like symptoms, insomnia, nausea, imbalance, sensory disturbances, hyper arousal). You are already doing the best thing possible which is having the doc lead the weaning process and going slowly. Im glad you’re not having to deal with the brain zappys but I’m sorry it feels so yucky otherwise. You can use off prescription short term aids to help manage symptoms from the withdrawal but I would check anything with your health team. Otherwise just knowing you’re in a withdrawal window that does eventually end and just being really gentle with ourselves. Extra rest, extra self-care. I hope it slowly starts getting easier for you little bit by little bit. Sending virtual hugs.

Trauma hits everyone different. You are doing the right things. You will make it through this. I believe in you.

I’m so sorry this is overwhelming and hard right now. It’s beautiful that you recognize the trigger, the trauma response and old coping patterns even as they happen. That is the biggest part of the battle in slowly changing them. I can hear the way you are holding yourself with compassion in it too and I am all out Pom-pom cheerleading you doing that. I know sometimes a return of old coping mechanisms can feel like a game over button that starts us over. Womp womp. But this isn’t retro Mario style gaming, it’s 2026 rpg style! When we return to the coping mechanism we are not back at the beginning, we bring with us all our xp, and gear!! I swear this metaphor works. 🤣 Even in an old behaviour YOU are a different person than each time before, with a little more awareness, a little more practice. Like you write, you are not alone. One breath at a time, one moment at a time. You are human and beautifully imperfect. Also *climbs into the hard place with you and just sits* we don’t need to fix nothin. Happy to just sit with you in it. ♥️

That’s so wonderful! I love these ideas and how much you know what works for you. Scent is the most powerful sense for memory recall so it’s a great one to invoke feelings of calm or safety. 💕

I'm still here! A little behind, but I'll catch up quick. 😊

I like adding things that hit different senses, like a smooth stone, a calm scent, and a snack I enjoy. Small reminders of safety help me settle faster.

Trying to break patterns is not easy! I think you're showing great bravery. Sending you warms thoughts 🌟
