2023.05.30 22:45 imp-sues My wellbutrin story, so that it never happens to someone else
Hello! This story is about a medical accident with wellbutrin that really affected my life and I want to share. It may contain triggering topics so please be warned. Stay safe
When I was 19 almost 20, I was about a year into my medication/mental health journey. I had found out I was bipolar, and had ADHD, and these were the main things I was treated for. I was taking ritalin, which for a bipolar person can be a risky choice as it causes mania, as well as lithium, to control my mania. Lithium was a little too good at its job though, and I quickly became only depressed, so, I got wellbutrin. And I liked it. It helped. I felt better. And happy. We kept trying out doses, going up slightly.
And then, I don't know.
My doctor was moving me from 150mg to 300mg, and then to 450 mg. Easy enough. But, he had given me two sets of pills to achieve this. 150s and 300s. I was supposed to use them to transition upwards. Every other day, taking 300 + 150. I don't know how, but something was lost in translation. I started taking two of the 300s, thinking that was what he told me to do. I was taking 600mg (too much) everyday, and then taking 60 (sometimes 90) mg of ritalin.
I felt crazy.
I was home for the summer, but terrified of the house. Couldnt leave my bedroom after my parents had gone to bed. I kept my toothbrush in my bedroom and locked my door each night. I would see shadow people out of the corner of my eye, walking in the dark. I saw their feet outside my door. I heard them whispering in the hall.
I would sit on the ground just take tweezers and pull out all my leg hair. I dont even know why. It became a terrible habit, and a strange way to soothe myself.
While doing this, I started to hear something. It was in my head, like I was going to sleep and thinking of random things. But the thoughts weren't mine. I wasn't thinking those words.
I could hear two men arguing, and then it was like they noticed me. They knew I was listening, and they didn't understand how.
Over the next few days of exploring this new ability I heard lots of conversations, even had them recount childhood memories to me. I would hear them scream and yell at me. I would feel them inside me trying to get my attention. I would close my eyes and see impressions of screaming faces, people trying to get me. Loud yelling. Then, it was like they would possess me, and it was like I wasn't there anymore.
I didn't understand what was happening. And it only got worse.
I went on a trip with my father and forgot my ritalin. Luckily, I had more than enough wellbutrin, which I knew treated ADHD. I started taking a little extra. I would crush it to make it work like instant ritalin. If 600mg wasn't hurting me, 1000mg certainly was.
my friends would call me to play minecraft and my fingers couldnt even operate the keys correctly. I was always shaking. The voices in my head were telling me they were worried for me, and possessed me to "help". I would walk around the beach house, terrified of any dark corner or unoccupied room. Even watching my father wash dishes made me nervous he was only pretending to come scare me (why would he do that?). I heard laughter, and whispers, and there weren't in my head. It was like a person was right on my shoulder, or like I was always in sleep paralysis. I would look in the mirror and swear my reflection was doing something I wasn't.
I went home, and told my doctors. They thought I had lost it from the ritalin and took me off it. Permanently. I was livid and so sad. It had helped me so much and now they said it was making me psychotic and they wouldnt put me on it. I told them I didnt even have any at the beach. No matter what I said, they wouldn't change their minds.
My emotions were so high. I would sob and sob and scream on the phone with them. And yet no one caught what was really happening.
I stayed with my boyfriend at the time while recovering from being cut off my meds, and I would swear he got in bed with me. I could feel the bed move. feel him breathing. and then I would hear the shower cut off- I was hallucinating him. I kept feeling someone grabbing the blankets, tugging at my feet. I would look and the shadow hallucination would hide from me as all the shadow people would. Fast. Uncatchable.
I kept hearing voices. Kept feeling like they were in my head. Kept feeling paranoid every second of the day. And kept taking those pills.
And then at some point, my doctor was confirming my medications.
"Are we at 300mg of wellbutrin? or 450, right?"
"Uh, 600 I think"
"..what?"
"I take 600 in the morning"
"...what"
"I take two of the 300s. Right?"
"how long have you been doing this?"
Turns out, 600 was not the right answer. That amount can cause siezures. And I had been taking up to 1000 everyday. Everyday for over a month.
They stopped me taking it, but never brought back the ritalin. Said my mind had become fragile from the wellbutrin. I was in a full blown psychotic episode and now lost my adhd medication along with my sanity.
Without meds, my first semester that year was hard. I was tired all the time. Fell asleep at the wheel. I struggled to be an RA at college, and struggled to talk to people. My mind just felt cloudy 24/7. And it was like I couldn't think anymore, couldn't do math, or study. I was a physics major, and it seemed like that was going to be something undoable. Everything, all my memories and skills, has been scrambled by wellbutrin. I failed my classes. Almost got kicked out of being an RA.
It was like I couldn't do anything.
I have continued therapy, but within a year they diagnosed me with OSDD, and a year later full blown D.I.D (dissociative identity disorder). Of course, wellbutrin did not cause that, but I had no idea I had multiple personalities until the OD. Wellbutrin had taken down all the walls in my mind, and I had heard the personalities talking. And once the toothpaste was out of the tube, I couldn't put it back in: no matter how long I tried to ignore the voices. I had DID. I have DID.
I tell you all this for two reasons. For a warning: to READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS and to never diy your doses. Make sure you write down what you need to take. And if something it wrong, go to the doctor fast and tell them whats happening. The longer, the worse damage your mind could get.
The other reason, is what I needed to hear that semester: you can get better.
It has been 2 years next month since the incident. And I have done what I thought I would never get to do. I am back on ritalin (but extended release now) and I even am back on a lose dose of wellbutrin, which I never thought I'd say. I completed my physics degree in 3 years, which is relatively uncommon, and something I would never dreamed I could do. I am alert. I am a quick thinker again. I am myself again. And I am happier than ever.
I still have D.I.D. And its something I am working on a lot. I also still have some brain scramble, not all the memories are right. But I am aware again, and what they expected to be permanent brain damage just turned into a rough memory. Now doctors have me talk to their medical students about what happened to me, and when I tell them and they gasp I am even able to laugh about it. Its become a silly story for doctors in training to learn from.
So if you had something like this happen, its gunna be okay. you can survive this. and you can get back to living your life. The fog will clear, you just have to wait for the sun.
AND READ YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for reading. this is a really hard incident I usually keep a secret, but it was the hardest time in my life. Please be safe with your wellbutrin, and remember, 600 is too. much. wellbutrin.

2023.05.30 22:45 EngineeredEnby Day 3 - Arrogance
Hi all,
I went to my fifth meeting this morning, and had a huge thought that shifted how I see things re: Step One.
I was an arrogant. I was told my whole life that I was brilliant and smart and all of that, but that’s a curse. I believed I could outsmart alcoholism because I was “smart”. I genuinely thought I could do it on my own, with no one else.
That’s absolute crap. As I talked about before, it is community that allows us to be vulnerable enough to make really hard changes. It’s community that allows people to admit our faults and be called out for them, but also be supported in fixing them. I was horribly arrogant to even think I didn’t need it.
Anyway, have a good rest of your day, I know I will.
Just for today, I will not drink. ❤️

2023.05.30 22:45 Impressive-Regret187 [UPDATE] not sure if this is preeclampsia or I'm just crazy (31 weeks)
Thank you everyone for you advice about going to the ER. I did end up calling an ambulance because i ended up having worse breathing problems and almost fainted. Once at the hospital doctors checked me and we're about to send me to ultrasound. As I was getting up off the bed I began to have extreme chest pain and almost fainted again. Was put back into the bed and they began to give me a lot of acid pills?. No idea why they thought I'd need acid pills for chest pains and no acid in my throat but I digress. Then my back in between my shoulder blades was in sharp pain with my chest. They just kept checking on me. Then ultrasound came and they said my LO was not using her lungs to practice breathing which caused me to be transferred to a different hospital for observation.
Once there I was kept in triage and my BP was at one point 153/109. HR was low 50s to lowest 43. Continued chest pain. Nothing changed overnight but they did give me a shot for the LO to help her start to use her lungs. In the morning I had an EKG and chest X-ray which came back normal. The cardiologist then ordered an ECHO for me and I waited majority of the day. The high risk Dr came in after my ECHO and proceeded to say if the ultrasound comes back and she's using her lungs your good to go home. I was confused since my BP was still in the 140s and my HR hadn't passed 60. Plus the results of the ECHO hadn't come back yet. But once the ultrasound came back and she was seen using her lungs I was discharged immediately. No answer on ECHO or any of the swelling pains, breathing issues, chest pains or anything. Just to follow up with my ob within a week.
It's now been a few days and my swelling hasn't come down but has gotten worse. My hips and my lower back have now swelled insanely where I can barely walk. Can't sleep due to pain under my ribs. Im also pretty weak. Some people are telling me to go back to the ER but I don't want too. I was kicked out and made to seem like I'm 100 fine when I don't think I am. Maybe I am going crazy idk. I see my Ob on Monday so holding out till then to hopefully get some clarity. So yeah that's my small update. Thanks again everyone.

2023.05.30 22:43 throwaway01893852 Apartment fire.. given the “all clear” but we still have smoke in vents
We had an apartment fire last Thursday. It started two apartments down. 12 units are in the building. About 2 apartments were a total loss. 4-6 had smoke/fire damage. The rest were minimal or had no damage. We have no visible damage, but smoke blowing from our AC.
The morning of the fire, the property manager put everyone without a home into vacant units in the community or some found hotels through insurance. We stayed at my fiancés moms house. The restoration company put an air scrubber in our apartment, it has been running since Friday. Two days later, I asked the Maitenance manager we were given the “all clear” and if it were safe to live in our apartment. He said yes. We stayed in our apartment for two nights, and smelled smoke when our AC vents turned on every few minutes. I have complained to them multiple times now.
We feel unsafe to live there, have been waking up with headaches and sore throats. The fire inspector came today and they found no damage or faults to anything electrical.
Basically they’re saying we’re safe to live there, and have no damage. However we know it isn’t safe to be breathing in smoke 24/7. We are moving in about a month but have no solution in the meantime.
My fiancé filed an insurance claim earlier and we have to provide what is damaged, fire reports (we have not been given), and any other important info. We’re hoping to be approved on the claim so we can live in a hotel most of the time until we move to our new apartment.
We’ve been debating on breaking our lease, because it is not safe to live there, but we would have to pay basically two months rent and lose our deposit… OR firmly requesting them to cover our June rent while we (hopefully) live in a hotel.
Does anyone have ideas of what to do based off our ideas listed directly above?
We live in Michigan.

2023.05.30 22:43 Ellie_Bear_K Wedding blues
Should a second marriage be as important as a first?! My fiance and I will be getting married in October of this year (2023). We have both been married once before, to other people. Already our wedding has had so many sad and disappointing turns, and it hasn't even happened yet! My MOH was my brother's fiancé (mother to my beautiful niece), but she dropped out!!! She said she can still be in the wedding party as a regular bridesmaid, but it was too much stress to plan my bridal shower AND hers and my brother's wedding (which is also happening just a bit before mine). I was, understandably, sad about this but I also could see where she was coming from. I gracefully accepted, and then appointed my soon to be sister in law as my MOH. After assuring me she could handle this task SHE TOO dropped out as MOH! She said she would still do the roll, but couldn't plan anything that was the MOHs job. I was so angry and heartbroken that the women I thought were special enough to be in my wedding party couldn't come through for me! The other major issue is that my groom (bless his wonderful heart) has been dealing with family that doesn't care! We have a small budget and an even smaller circle of family and friends we'd want around us for such a sacred day. So imagine, you only invited a small amount of people and almost half of them won't be attending! No one in his family seems to think this wedding is a big deal! We assume they think, because it's his second wedding, they don't need to take it seriously! He's heartbroken at this! Our wedding is only a 50 minute drove from the town his entire family lives in! There's no reason they should miss this wedding! My family is spread out and most live about 2 hours away depending on traffic. They all still plan to be there! My fiancés PARENTS are the MAIN ONES treating this wedding like it's not important! We rent our home from them (as they have many properties they rent to people), and his dad continues to treat us like it's just a waste of perfectly good rent money in his eyes. To clear one thing up, he has no idea how much we are or are not spending, so therefore has no idea if we're wasting money! (Luckily my aunt and grandmother have graciously paid for many of the larger priced items for the wedding, saving us from going broke!) It's so easy to just say "F them, we'll be fine without them", but it doesn't make my fiances heart hurt less! We are completely, madly in love and everyone can tell! My family and our friends are all overjoyed to see us both finally happy with our true love! We just don't understand why (mostly his parents) don't care! His parents have seen him struggle time and time again in his previous relationship, and yet they show no support or happiness in seeing him Finally happy and loved the right way! What do we do? How do we move forward? How can I help him to hurt less?

2023.05.30 22:43 Drjordan Amazon requesting new approval in the category I've been selling in for years?
 | Seller since 2020. submitted by Drjordan to AmazonSeller [link] [comments] Account in good standing/healthy. No returns or any other issues. This morning I tried listing an ASIN (in a brand I have approval) in topicals. 80% of my catalog falls into this category. I received an error trying to list and received the following messages from Amazon. I'm also including a screenshot of when I originally received approval for topicals. Has anyone else experienced similar? I have no problem resubmitting a new invoice, but why is Amazon doing this? I've now gone back and forth in 10 separate messages with Amazon today, and I'm getting nowhere (shocker, I know).

2023.05.30 22:42 Morgoth98 I feel the game punishes me for bad luck at every turn
Just now, the game crashed just seconds before the completion of a particularly hard and potentially rewarding Damnation mission. Once I restarted, the mission was over and I could not rejoin: Over half an hour spent for no reward.
The RNG in rolling for weapons is frustrating and demotivating. My friends had more luck than me, so they have weapons that not only work but are also something to be proud of. I don't.
After over 200 hours, I do have some weapons with 350+ stats (in a good distribution) and both of the "correct" meta blessings at Tier III (through reblessing), maybe even with one of the "correct" perks (through rerolling). But hunting for specific Tier IV blessings is such a massive time-sink that it is nearly impossible for me and I just have not been lucky.
The gameplay is fun. I want to play more and progress. But it feels I have hit a brick wall of being constantly punished for trying to progress. The game takes literally tenths of thousands of Plasteel from me (a whole week's worth of grind) and gives me nothing in return. There isn't even a higher chance for me to get something good next time. That's not how probabilities work. The RNG just decided that I get no ingame-reward for playing another 20 hours, except for "a sense of pride and accomplishment".
And the only remedy the game offers me is to... play more. Invest more hours. Many more hours.
An unfortunate disconnect denies you the reward for a hard mission? Do it all again, hope you get a reward this time.
Just spent 10k Plasteel and didn't get a good weapon for it? Earn 10k Plasteel again and try again.
It really feels like hostile design and it feels unfair. There is no clear way to progress to the things I want. No amount of Plasteel will ever guarantee me anything. If I am not lucky I may never see the right combination of high Tier blessings on my favourite weapons.
This is really disheartening. For me, the game had the potential to be my refuge after a long day at work. But when I play it, I am just simulating what it's like for my time to be exploited for little to no reward. I already have a job for that.

The RNG in rolling for weapons is frustrating and demotivating. My friends had more luck than me, so they have weapons that not only work but are also something to be proud of. I don't.
After over 200 hours, I do have some weapons with 350+ stats (in a good distribution) and both of the "correct" meta blessings at Tier III (through reblessing), maybe even with one of the "correct" perks (through rerolling). But hunting for specific Tier IV blessings is such a massive time-sink that it is nearly impossible for me and I just have not been lucky.
The gameplay is fun. I want to play more and progress. But it feels I have hit a brick wall of being constantly punished for trying to progress. The game takes literally tenths of thousands of Plasteel from me (a whole week's worth of grind) and gives me nothing in return. There isn't even a higher chance for me to get something good next time. That's not how probabilities work. The RNG just decided that I get no ingame-reward for playing another 20 hours, except for "a sense of pride and accomplishment".
And the only remedy the game offers me is to... play more. Invest more hours. Many more hours.

Now we are in extremely weekly momentum so one could expect a bounce off the supply and push higher which would then establish a new demand somewhere in this 417-419 area. However, IF the debt ceiling news shakes the market enough we could see a bigger push down to 414.55 demand or even 410.2 demand (support) to retest that support first.

This structure actually looks pretty identical to May 18th and 19th. If so then we should see a rejection and actually see a retrace back to at least the daily 8 if not 20ema. That gives us a price target of 414.5 to 416.8 for our retrace… Now in the off chance that we continue to move higher and hold this black bull channel (which support is at 420.3 which means spy has to open green and hold green all day tomorrow)… if we hold that then our upside target is 425.78.

Looking at this until a new supply (resistance) is officially put in this likely is a backtest and bounce off the 4209/4215 supply. However, if a red day is put in tomorrow we likely turn 4240 into a new supply which would take our 4209/4215 and that would then target a breakdown to 4156 and possible 4128 on a bigger sell off.

If we put a new supply in tomorrow at 352.68 then our targets would be 347.11 and potentially 337.6 if we see a bigger drop. However, there is a case to be made here if this keeps running that we reach 357.09 and 361.7 demand to take that demand out before we retrace. Honestly, from a technical stand point QQQ is so over extended it needs a pullback if bulls want any hope at 350-360s… The red bull support sits at 350.7 and resistance at 360 for tomorrow.

However, the EOD push up on SPY was met and led by a nice VIX drop… this doji here on VIX could with the potential SPY rejection signal a nice upside VIX and downside SPY move tomorrow.

However, it is holding that key 103.865 support. But with momentum to the upside breaking on DXY that actually could favor upside on SPY… the one interesting thing really is the fact that DXY rallied WITH SPY over the last month… The 10YR has the same trend in that it officially broke its uptrend with a rejection off of 3.813%... the key support to watch will be 3.693%.. now with the DXY I cant really wrap my head around why SPY would rally with it and drop with it… but on 10YR one could say that the 10YR rallying with SPY would be people going RISKY on and then a rejection here would be people going risk off.

2023.05.30 22:40 No-Light9581 GI stasis
I know this is long but if anyone can read and provide some insight or advice it would be so very appreciated.
My bunny, Jigglypuff, who is 2-3 years old, got GI stasis a month ago and has been perfectly fine since after a trip to the ER vet. They said his gut sounded and felt normal, but treated him anyways since he wasn’t eating. He was fine and back to normal within a day.
Then, my other bunny, Venom, who is 7-8, got it yesterday too. What’s odd is that Jigglypuff didn’t eat his veggies yesterday morning. However, he always follows Venom around, eats when she eats, etc and was munching on hay and took a treat from me that morning.
So, I take them both to the ER vet. Jigglypuff is fine, but Venom’s gut sounds slow so she got treated and was eating as soon as we got home.
This morning, their litter boxes were empty and full of poop. They both took a treat. I gave them their veggies and they both ran up to eat them but stopped shortly after once I entered their (temporary) pen to refill their hay. I didn’t t have time to see if they would eat the rest before going to work, but I suspect/hope it was just because they’re scared of or mad at me for bringing them to the vet yesterday. It’s within their character to run away from me after I take them in.
I scheduled a visit with their exotic vet this weekend but I’m worried sick that I’m going to come home to the veggies still there and one or both of them not taking a treat.
What are some potential causes? What should I expect during the vet visit? What can I do until this weekend to ensure they are in good health until their visit this weekend? I really don’t want to have to take either of them to the ER again this week.
I work 40 hours a week at an office and can’t be there to monitor them all the time. I also have a vacation planned in 2 weeks, which I planned prior to all of this, for just a weekend. I have a friend who’s going to come feed them and spend time with them, but she isn’t experienced with bunnies and I’m horrified that something bad will happen while I’m gone.
They eat about 2 cups of veggies and 1 small piece of fruit per day each, I fill their litter box with plenty of hay before and after work and before I go to bed, and give them about 1/2 a cup of pellets for both of them at night. They free roam and my apartment is 100% bunny proofed.
They’re both at a healthy weight and have both never had any issues at all up until this point.
I don’t brush them as often as I should because they hate it and run away from me ever time I try to pick them up and I worry about causing them stress, but the only thing I can think of that could have caused it in both of them near the same time is perhaps a build of up fur.
I guess I’ll see what the vet says, but if either ends up being seriously sick I don’t know how I’m going to nurse them back to health when I work a full time office job and I might even need to start working part time to help with expenses if they bc up needing longer term, intensive care. I don’t have anyone to help me.

2023.05.30 22:38 CornflakeofDoom Takin a Tokin Break
I’ve been smoking heavily and daily for the last two years. I’m now going to see if I can make it to Friday without any weed. I think I am psychologically addicted and I need to break it off. I can’t get anything done and I feel like I have to be stoned to go anywhere including work. Send good vibes, please and thank you.

SPY DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/72dfr912513b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=3438b88f6b303a82ba6db6dfb66cd3278b19a4a3 We did not establish a new supply today, however, we did set ourselves up put a new daily supply in tomorrow… In doing that we actually would take our 419.5 and 418.78 supplies and would put our new upside resistance and supply at 422.08. Now we are in extremely weekly momentum so one could expect a bounce off the supply and push higher which would then establish a new demand somewhere in this 417-419 area. However, IF the debt ceiling news shakes the market enough we could see a bigger push down to 414.55 demand or even 410.2 demand (support) to retest that support first. SPY DAILY PRICE ACTION https://preview.redd.it/ig5f7ue2513b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=708cbe9ea8fe3541a10191ac4c25f2b2a5634478 When we look at the daily honestly this pattern of breaking out and rejecting the upside reminds me a lot of April 4th/18th and May 1st/ 19th. This structure actually looks pretty identical to May 18th and 19th. If so then we should see a rejection and actually see a retrace back to at least the daily 8 if not 20ema. That gives us a price target of 414.5 to 416.8 for our retrace… Now in the off chance that we continue to move higher and hold this black bull channel (which support is at 420.3 which means spy has to open green and hold green all day tomorrow)… if we hold that then our upside target is 425.78. SPY Daily Levels Supply- 418.78 -> 419.5 -> 429.68 Demand- 414.55 -> 410.2 Support- 420.2 -> 418.6 -> 417 -> 415.3 Resistance- 422.1 -> 425.1 FUTURES DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/rcgum1x2513b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a1cccda8b6d3cc00cc7bd50daddea3106e430dd On Futures it’s the same thing we did not make a new supply and actually the daily DMI on futures shows a little bit more upside to go. Looking at this until a new supply (resistance) is officially put in this likely is a backtest and bounce off the 4209/4215 supply. However, if a red day is put in tomorrow we likely turn 4240 into a new supply which would take our 4209/4215 and that would then target a breakdown to 4156 and possible 4128 on a bigger sell off. FUTURES DAILY PRICE ACTION https://preview.redd.it/jozt4jb3513b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=4188e0c4acb137e35e3a6c24074b5d8b458ebbb5 Futures remains in its black bull channel which has a much more generous support at 4180 for tomorrow and resistance at 4261. A retest of the daily 8ema would give us a bounce near 4200 again tomorrow. Futures Daily Levels Supply- 4209 -> 4215 -> 4312 Demand- 4156 -> 4128 Support- 4215 -> 4189 -> 4156 Resistance- 4240 -> 4260 QQQ DAILY SUPPLY AND DEMAND https://preview.redd.it/kpm8o1r3513b1.png?width=878&format=png&auto=webp&s=786b0a33dbdf8d746bdd027cfc6602e10264ced2 Now on QQQ I actually really am looking for a retrace tomorrow… the daily DMI has hit overbought, and we are nearing a new supply being put in… we did come up and take our 351.57 demand today also. If we put a new supply in tomorrow at 352.68 then our targets would be 347.11 and potentially 337.6 if we see a bigger drop. However, there is a case to be made here if this keeps running that we reach 357.09 and 361.7 demand to take that demand out before we retrace. Honestly, from a technical stand point QQQ is so over extended it needs a pullback if bulls want any hope at 350-360s… The red bull support sits at 350.7 and resistance at 360 for tomorrow. VIX https://preview.redd.it/iyg82b54513b1.png?width=803&format=png&auto=webp&s=10d398ed18fc14fbec9b496c729a0b6d0e3c799c Now on the VIX we came within a few pennies of hitting that key 16.92 support before we bounced… for a while today we attempted to and intended to break back over 17.97 and hold it. However, the EOD push up on SPY was met and led by a nice VIX drop… this doji here on VIX could with the potential SPY rejection signal a nice upside VIX and downside SPY move tomorrow. Today was also an anomaly in that the VIX and SPY both closed green today… 10YR YIELD and DXY https://preview.redd.it/19rohxk4513b1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=1d7afe504334bb9a2dbfa606e4f3e38679dd2695 Now one thing that is very interesting to me here is the fact that DXY broke its almost month long bull channel support. However, it is holding that key 103.865 support. But with momentum to the upside breaking on DXY that actually could favor upside on SPY… the one interesting thing really is the fact that DXY rallied WITH SPY over the last month… The 10YR has the same trend in that it officially broke its uptrend with a rejection off of 3.813%... the key support to watch will be 3.693%.. now with the DXY I cant really wrap my head around why SPY would rally with it and drop with it… but on 10YR one could say that the 10YR rallying with SPY would be people going RISKY on and then a rejection here would be people going risk off. DAILY LOG https://preview.redd.it/2kqq7tx4513b1.png?width=609&format=png&auto=webp&s=0548224aa1abbe79941bcd25baaefccc37b0c0a0 This weekend I spent almost a whole half day going through all of my trades over the last month and identifying what was working and what wasn’t working the best… I came out super excited for my discovery and I did a lot of cleaning up of my charts… in doing that I actually was able to secure a massive win today… put in my full weekly profits today… “Mondays” have been extremely great to me so for the last month or so… I actually really enjoyed trading today… as you can see there was some struggle in the morning as I kept bitting the recovery that never came (my own fault) and then mid day I struggled with the fake breakdown/ recovery and timing the breakdown… I definitely got stop loss hunted a few times today but overall a great day of trading mentally and results wise too. |
2023.05.30 22:37 Triple777Zach If you’re thinking about buying Fuze vapes/concentrates.....well don’t their quality control is very hit or miss.
 | I had bought 3 Fuze half gram cartridges & 2 grams of Fuze Concentrates on Friday May 26th. submitted by Triple777Zach to vegastrees [link] [comments] Banana Cookies, C3BO, & Sour Alien cartridges. Opened the Banana Cookies cartridge first & wasn’t impressed at all. It tasted way too perfume like. Not sure what’s wrong with it but it doesn’t taste good at all like I’m inhaling a nasty soap/essential oil & effects are lacking for a full LR. Honestly the cartridge in my eyes is a low 3/10 in terms of taste and potency. Debating on throwing out. C3BO I opened second. Also not impressed at all. Faint lemon taste then it all goes downhill. The taste drops off into this mustiness. It’s just not a pleasant vape at all & harsh. Effects aren’t there for being full LR. Color is super dark, while I don’t mind that too much especially if it tastes really good I can look past it being a darker amber color. Unfortunately this doesn’t taste good at all, plus the effects are also lacking. This cartridge to me is at a 3/10 in terms of taste & potency. Debating on throwing out. Opened sour alien cartridge third, it wasn’t any much better than the first two unfortunately. It tastes like sweet & sour, soil/earthiness. But not in a good way, in the earthy department. I am very dissatisfied with this one as well. Kinda similar to the Durban poison cartridge from Matrix but a major downgrade because of the soil taste/harshness. This one I’d rate a 3.5/10 just not good at all. Very low-mid quality. Definitely not what I expected from a full LR. Debating on throwing out. Also I know I am not overheating the hardware/oil. I have a special variable battery set at 2.0-2.4v for all the carts which should be low enough to not burn the LR. This has worked fine on past Fuze carts. Still getting undesirable effects/taste on all three however. Garlic Juice LR Sugar, & Tahoe Mint Kush LR Sugar. I have some positive feedback, on the Garlic Juice LR Sugar. It is a decent smoke. Effects are much better than the carts/other concentrate. The taste is a bit muted though with fruit/funk background. I had bought the garlic juice cartridge few months back and I thought it was amazing effects/flavovapor production. This reminds me of that but a bit downgraded in terms of effects/potency. This I’d give a 6.5/10 it almost hits 7/8 if it had better smell initially when opening the jar and smoked a little smoother. Material is stuck on top of lid loss of product. Wasn’t stored/packed correctly. Lastly I opened the Tahoe Mint Kush, it has a minty & waxy/fruit smell to it. Kinda like a fruit stripe. Smells pretty nice, however it smoked pretty bad. Tasted like nutrients fishy kinda and gave me a headache. Not very pleased with this one at all was expecting better from a Tahoe OG kush unfortunately this had a bad flavor to it and really has me not wanting to go back for more. Some material is also stuck on lid & loss of product. Wasn’t stored/packed correctly. Unfortunately I cannot see myself buying Fuze again after this & other bad experiences. Or at least until the quality control/consistency is of the utmost importance. I don’t like what I’m seeing and what I’m smoking on. I didn’t fully enjoy any of these products. |

2023.05.30 22:35 cherrytreehoneybees Please convince me that I’m not a bad person for wanting an abortion.
Originally posted on another sub but figured this was a better place for it. If you want you can look at my post history for a more in depth picture of my life at the moment.
In short I’m a single homeless mom. A couple days ago I escaped an extremely abusive relationship where I was basically held hostage for 10 years. I have two daughters. My oldest is 3.5 years old and my second will be 4 months old on Thursday. I am currently staying at a good friends house in her basement. She says she will support me in whatever decision I make but I still feel it would be terrible to bring another child into her home when I’m already burdening her with my 2 ( she has 5 kids: two teenagers, twin 2 year olds, and a 6 month old). I have no job as of yet and this abortion will honestly be the rest of my money.
My ex went through a particularly rough patch at work a few months ago and took it out on me. From when I was 3.5 to 6 weeks postpartum he sexually assaulted me nearly every day. I was able to get an appointment this morning at a local clinic. According to dating scan the baby is measuring 13-14 weeks right now. The pills will not be effective at this point so I will need the suction curettage procedure.
I also had a particularly traumatic birth with my baby. I had a uterine rupture that my physician didn’t catch on time which almost led to the death of me and baby.
I’m sure reading all of this makes an abortion seem like the obvious choice but I need some reassurance. I grew up in an extremely conservative and evangelical echo chamber. I do not hold those beliefs anymore willfully but the religious trauma runs deep. I can’t stop thinking I’m a murderer and I feel so guilty it’s making me nauseous. I am overcome with shame currently. My family and community would tell me this baby Is a blessing from god and I will be punished if I don’t accept it. Those people aren’t in my life anymore but walking into the clinic today all I could think about were those “I could feel pain at 12 weeks” billboards scattered throughout my hometown.
To be clear I am not against a woman’s right to choose in any way. Also I am not asking anyone if I should get an abortion or not as I know no one can make that decision for me. I’m just having a hard time with the reality of the situation. Please reassure me that an abortion would not be a moral failure, so I can make the right decision for me and my girls. If you would like to share your own abortion experiences, that may be helpful too.

2023.05.30 22:33 PirateDull5787 AITA for telling my friend's girlfriend to stop trying to get between him and I and to stop telling lies about me?
My friend (m27) and I (f25) are very close, and I mean extremely close. We have known each other since my freshman college year and we hit it off right away. We have never dated, but we were fwb for a while, we don't have any other feelings for each other besides platonic love.
He has been dating a woman (f27) for about ten months? I think. Initially I didn't have any issue with her and I tried to be nice with her, giving her compliments (like "wow your hair looks so good!" Or "that dress is very cute!" Stuff to make her feel welcomed and good) I also tried to include her in some of our plans.
However, she's extremely jealous of my relationship with my friend, like she doesn't like at all if I hug him, cuddle him or something like that, he doesn't like him giving me compliments either (again just stuff like "that top looks good" or stuff like that), she doesn't even like me/ him texting each other good night/ good morning
At first she just would make nasty remarks, but now she has started to literally invent lies to all of our other friends about me. She said I'm trying to have an affair with her boyfriend and similar stuff. My friends know it's not that, but I still don't like it.
So yesterday, she came over to his apartment we were hanging out, she came out of the blue without invitation. She joined us which is fine I guess, just annoying. But then out of the blue she started saying that I'm a bitch and a pick me and I want to ruin her relationship, I was like ??? But also I admit I got angry because she called me a bitch, so I told her to fuck off and leave alone. She told me I should've be the one to fuck off because she has told me many times how uncomfortable she is with me and him hanging out alone, she claims she asked me nicely not to. I told her to stop trying to get between us, we have been friends for longer than they have been dating, we won't stop doing stuff just because of her, I also told her to stop with the lies because no one believes her. We argued some more and my friend ended up telling her to leave since she was making a big drama and would annoy the neighbors.
She made sure to tell everyone what happened, obviously telling lies too, and now some of my own friends have texted me to tell me I should just back off and let them be and they even said I was an asshole for not respecting boundaries. Some of my friends have sided with me but I'm unsure now

2023.05.30 22:32 sleepymuse911 Woke Up Happy and it scares me
I am not used to good things happening to me. I set myself up to fail and ended up succeeding. I was so sure that my life was over. I thought everyone hated me and I hated me more than anyone. One day I walked out the door ready to die. I passed out on the side of the road and a woman named Hilary found me. She got a blanket from her car and wrapped me up while calling me an ambulance. I got a therapist after that and she helped me see things from a different view. Nicole never pushed me or made me uncomfortable. She helped me find a place that was more equipped for the trauma I am dealing this. I still have anger and sadness, but this morning I woke up and felt happy. I wanted to get out of bed and felt excited. I am scared that it is going to disappear and I fall back into that pit. The darkness and sadness almost took me this time.

2023.05.30 22:31 goodgreat123 Is my listing agent bad?
My husband and I are selling our first house, and I’m losing confidence in our relator. He is a friend of my husband’s and lives in Houston, we live in Austin. We called him for advice about buying/selling and he said he was starting to do business in Austin and has a team in Austin, so he could represent us.
He sent us some good options for homes to buy, but we ultimately decided to go with a new build before he had a chance to travel over to go to showings with us. No problem, all good. He’s been helpful with going over contracts and helping us set things up with a phase inspection.
Now in the selling process, I’m beginning to lose confidence. I had to rewrite the listing description because it said nothing about our home, and waxed poetic about a rec center, golf course and aquatic park that don’t even exist in our neighborhood. We listed on Thursday and the house has been getting a lot of attention. We had two open houses over the weekend with a steady stream of visitors. We had a bit of a communication issue with the agent staffing the open houses and our realtor was totally unreachable for the first hour and a half of our open house, nor did he provide us with the other agents contact info. AGAIN we had to take matters into our own hands and stop by the open house to tell the agent the information our realtor failed to convey to him in the first place.
This morning we reached out to see what the next steps are, and he just said he’d reach out to realtors from the weekend to see if there are any planned offers. We have no upcoming showings scheduled. Meanwhile, the house has absolutely blown up on Zillow, I guess I’m kind of surprised that we haven’t garnered more concrete interest or follow up. Since I’m new to selling a house I’m wondering if this is common practice, or if our realtor is acting normal.
