been on it for 11 years.....have tried to come off it before but it's not possible for me and i've accepted that that is ok! SSRIs can be life saving drugs so definitly worth considering. they mostly kind of....put blinders on your emotions. like blunt the high highs and the low lows. so your spectrum of feeling might feel shortened..... which is hard. but in some cases is crucial for living life. i would not be who i am without the help of ssris
why do i need two tiny yellow pills every day for my brain to not freak out about every tiny thing? im beyond grateful for these pills, but i also curse their existence, or i guess more so my body’s need for them. im glad that mental healthcare is not as stigmatized as it once was, and me and my friends can take our little pills and feel better everyday. but also, can’t stop wondering why me and all my friends seem to need little pills to feel normal
sleep in
make a big pot of coffee
catch up on articles from bed
*bonus points if you have a breakfast tray, newspapers, magazines, and buttered toast*
put on some elevator music
roll around
after moving away from the us, my ears have become very sensitive to conversations happening around me in english. feeling uninspired and uninteresting? head to your local cafe and pretend to write (or actually write) about what you’re hearing all around you 💋
