I like to focus on one thing everyday. For example, I like to eat carnivore for health reasons, and i tell myself my absolute for today is just to eat carnivore. Not working out, not over eating or snacking. Just focus on animal products just for today. It really is taking it one day at a time.
For sure. I love this because you can think it has to be some big or planned out day but just slow it down and focus on what you can.
Thank you for this and your open honesty. I'm currently on my journey to get off 300xl. I really needed to hear someone else's journey so thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome. Thank you for sharing your journey in this comment. Just keep taking it 1 day at a time and its totally okay if its not time to get off it. wishing you the best!
i’ve considered going off the pill and my antidepressants, but i think i’m personally a long ways away. thank you for your vulnerability!!! LOVE this upload 💗💗💗
Thank youuu! You are so sweet. Everyone is different so that is great to know you are not ready just yet but something you are capable of doing once you get there. ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for watching (:

Thank you 🥺 it really means a lot to me. Thanks for watching and supporting me
Thanks for sharing this with us!! I'm so happy you're finding what works for you and your body. Mental health is so important and I love when people can talk about this stuff so openly!
Thank you Quinn thanks for supporting meeee and watching!
Thank you for always being so vulnerable and truthful! I’m glad that you are able to get off of it and feel better without it! I have been off of my BC for a couple of months now. I plan to get off of my anxiety medicine soon too! 💜
Look at us go! I am so happy this is something we can relate about!
PSSSSS you look so beautiful and you made some great points in this video about how to kind of piece yourself back together when you are going through a rough patch - I am right there with you currently and it is SO important to prioritize mental health and allowing yourself to throw on some comfy clothes and be in a good environment!
Kari! Thank you for sharing your story. I am just beginning to address my overeating and mental health; it is definitely overwhelming.
Thank you for watching! It is definitely overwhelming and really hard. I am proud of you for starting to address this yourself. Don't do it alone ask for help and take it one day at a time!
Am I catching up on all your UA-cam vids, yes I am .. but I truly appreciate your vulnerability and your openness with sharing your experiences!
yayyy haha I love it! Binge the videos! Thank you for watching that means the most to me.
Love you so much and I'm so proud watching this video. Vulnerability isn't easy in general let alone sharing it publicly. You inspire me so much and I'm so grateful/proud to have a friend like you!
Thank you Jazzy!!! You are literally so sweet and your support means so much to me
Kari my dear friend thank you so much for this video.. seriously. I myself 35, living with bulimia and general anxiety disorder since my teens.. Mental health (esp EDs) are such a taboo thing... So much judgement and labelling u know??? Been working on myself alot (with outside professional help) since 2014... I have done alot of progress if i may say but theres a way to go... its life long work. Soo again thank you for this openness and honesty my friend. Have a good end of the day there. -rachel Montreal Canada - xxxxxxx
Hiii Rachel!! I love how you you have always been so open too with me about your mental health, so thank you for that. There is so much labeling and harmful stigmas behind helping yourself and I am just trying to help people feel less alone and talk about it together. I love that you said its life long work because that is so true. Thanks for watching and supporting me I hope you have a great end of your day too!
@@KariAlissaVideos thank you for this reply kari and thank you for your statements. I honestly appreciate everything you just said. Iam glad to see we are on the same lane and agree. I know i said it be4 but mannnn i wish we would be closer geographically.. I sooo see u as a good close friend. :) Xx
Gained 40 pounds in a month after quitting Wellbutrin. True story.
Obviously, the meds were helping with impulse control.
I love your hair!. Thanks for sharing this informative video.
Awe thank you Erica. Thanks for watching and I hope you have the best day!
Thank you for this video vists what I needed to hear in my life right now .❤
awe so glad you got to watch and it was good for you! Wishing you the best! 🧡💛💚❤
Hi Kari, seeing your video made me think of the book I'm reading right now called 'more than a body'. I think you might like it too, just wanted to share that. :)
oh awesome thank you so much I will have to look into it!
GROWTH 2022
YES SIR!
Love this video and love you!!
Thank you Kayli! ❤️ I love you too
You are so happy.
Thank you!
Kari, I’m wondering if you had any of the side effects of coming off this meds that they said in the videos of withdrawal. Thank you for sharing I was hoping to find someone like you with your Honesty and your joy ! Keep smiling
Thank you Sara! thanks for watching. I have had the side effects coming off where I fall into little spurts of sadness and bad self talk. How I have been handling it is recognizing what is going on and doing something I like instead. Occupying my mind and telling myself these things are not true. It's not easy but it has been working so far as long as I am just noticing it and talking myself out of it. I hope this helps.
Kari
One more question when you stopped cold turkey did you have any anxiety or twitching or anything other that a bit of down mood ? I’m going to be calling my dr and want to know if I can stop cold turkey but I’m taking this for anxiety also
@@sarakew9342 to be honest the anxiety wasn’t too big of an issue for me. I have felt anxious at time but personally have been able to work through them. Would definitely check with your Dr if that is something that could happen since you were experiencing that before that medicine.
@@KariAlissaVideos thank you. I will. I just want you to know you help so many of us keep being you ! Keep loading your content !
Thanks for this.
Do you mind sharing if you lost any weight while on Wellbutrin? If so how much? Love your story!
Thank you so much Jessica! I actually did not lose any weight while on Wellbutrin!
I’m getting off this medication. The past year that I’ve been taking it, I feel like I get veryyy angry at times. I read that irritability and anger could be a side effect. Did you ever experience something like that? PS. I love your personality and you’re so likable 🥰💕💜
Awe thank you so much what a sweet comment! This actually wasn't something I noticed maybe because it was paired with my birth control that some normal side effects didn't affect me? I am not too sure. I have noticed now that I have been off for even longer that I do feel like I have more empathetic feelings than before which is nice. Congratulations and how exciting for you to be getting off this medication too!
I have had 2 tablets, stopping now ,it making me messed up
Was Wellbutrin worth it? Im scared I can't get off because it is working so well for me right now
I think it was worth it. Right now, if you are taking it and it is working, I don't see the need of getting off. Go off what makes you feel comfortable and just take it one day at a time. My decision was personal and not based off a timeline I just felt it was right. So, if it doesn't feel right for you to get off yet then do it. It's there to help you and you are doing great already by taking something to help you out!
Ur wonderful and beautiful🎉
Ur wonderful and you are beautiful! Thank YOU!
So did you just stop the Wellbutrin cold Turkey?
Yes I did. I was nervous about it but it went okay actually.
I’m about to come off of 150mg if the Wellbutrin XL. Did you have any withdrawal symptoms?
@@dustinmooreguitar why do you want to quit ?
Would I be able to quit Wellbutrin with a job ? Or will it cripple me
I am not too sure. I got off mine with a job and have been doing fine. I think everything is very situational. You know yourself the best so if you have a gut feeling follow that.
Does going off Wellbutrin make you gain weight?
I do believe I did gain some weight after getting off but I also got off birth control too so it could havd been various reasons for me.
Did you gain any weight after stopping Wellbutrin?
I haven't gained any but I have been trying to watch what I eat a little more.
