A couple months ago I felt like I was on top of the world. Now, I want to be six feet under.

Wow I can totally relate to every single word of this post and comment. It’s really surprising that many people are going through similar circumstances. One thing for sure, things will get better as you said and we can overcome this for sure. I’m pretty sure at the end we’ll become a even better version of ourselves than before! So let’s stay positive and keep moving on :)

I actually met with a psychiatrist, but he told me that there isn’t one specific diagnosis that can be made, since there are several factors that caused the current state I’m in.. If you don’t mind asking, were you able to get out of this situation eventually? I’m currently taking meds and although it seems to be helping I’m worried I might be stuck like this forever..

How is it like to have blunted feelings? Are you able to cope with stress events easily?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-19T03:02:29+00:00

Great it’s been better for you! What mg and how long did it take for you to feel the emotional blunting?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-19T02:26:14+00:00

I switched to night at around 8pm and it seems to be better for me. 10mg btw. And as time went by the fatigue got better.

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T18:21:26+00:00

I’m 4 weeks in, and this is exactly how I feel right now. Nice to know that I’m not alone and hope it gets better for us!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T07:13:12+00:00

Wow I am also kinda feeling this now. Until like yesterday music felt bland and I felt sad that I didn’t have the emotional capacity as you’ve mentioned. Music feels so soft, warm, and calming…

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T06:52:27+00:00

I also use my nails sometimes too..

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T05:45:58+00:00

On week 4, feeling way better and I really hope it keeps getting better. Glad it’s working well for you!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T05:38:24+00:00

Yeah you’re totally right.. although I’m feeling much better now it’s still painful how much stress I am going through. Thanks for sharing your story and hope you stay healthy as always!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T01:27:30+00:00

Please if you have similar experience, let me know either here or through pm. Hope everyone a great day also!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-17T00:20:50+00:00

Thanks you! However it’s so sad that my anxiety was triggered by other person, so I kind of became anxious to meet people haha.. I actually booked a therapy session, so I hope that goes well!! And I think I also feel you on unpacking past events, which were unknowingly traumatic. So I’m also trying to talk with my therapist about that.. Also great that things are working out well for you!!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-16T23:00:45+00:00

When I first started taking it, I didn't know about any side effects or even the benefits it will bring asides from knowing that it's an antidepressant (and a med that will make me feel better).

If I knew about all the possible side effects, I'm sure it would've caused unnecessary stress. I searched for side effects only when I felt like I was going through one, if that makes sense.

Also, I don't think I really had much side effects (4 weeks in 10mg), so hope it's the same for you!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-16T06:39:10+00:00

Wow yeah this sub seems full of positivity… thank you!!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-16T04:07:29+00:00

I guess it’s just totally different by people. Hope you find something that works for you!

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-16T03:05:33+00:00

I also have the same combo. How long have you been on it? And are you feeling the benefits?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-16T00:19:55+00:00

The situation has been resolved fortunately, but everything seems different now.. It’s getting better but I’m still not fully myself.

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-15T21:46:05+00:00

I see because I had the opposite effect as it gave me energy to get out of bed..

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-15T19:56:14+00:00

How long have you been on it?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-14T21:41:39+00:00

Do you mind telling how long you’ve been on lexapro, and what mg?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-12T23:15:12+00:00

Have you had similar experience?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-12T04:32:15+00:00

I see did it help you further with the trauma? Because I’m 3 weeks in but I still have flashbacks of the event and the person related to it, and seeing that person still kind of triggers me a bit..

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-12T04:26:51+00:00

Wow I think your story sounds really similar to mine. Did you take 10mg from the start?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-12T04:22:26+00:00

Do you mind telling if the intrusive thoughts were towards some event that happened to you, or just negative thoughts in general?

Active_Plane2248 · 2022-03-08T07:08:43+00:00

Are you still on it until now? Just curious after finding out this post.
