"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

have you guys experience frequent forgetfulness due to taking antidepressants? I seem to have that problem. I forget to bring along little things like car keys, contracts, or to say certain words.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The active ingredient in Effexor is Venlafaxine and there hasn't been any published side effects such as forgetfulness directly. However Venlafaxine has been known to cause serious side effects in a few individuals like fainting spells and difficulty breathing. These could be due to a rapid heartbeat or palpitations. If that's happens see a doctor immediately.

Some of the more common side effects include agitation, anxiety, or restlessness, especially in the first week of treatment or when doses are changed. Sometimes its common to have blurry vision and various "sexual difficulties." :nervous: Again if these happen, see a doctor.

Other side effects that don't require medical attention include the typical side effects of most antidepressants; dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, drowsiness increased sweating, loss of appetite, loss of weight, nausea or tiredness, whew.

Try herbal stuff. St. John's Wort has good effect after awhile.

Also try to remove stresses from your life that could be causing depression. Because really.. depression is caused by stress, boith menatl and physical.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
