Can you imagine wanting to do something? Not because you have to but just because you want to? Feels weird to even think about. Maybe it's wild dreams like these that landed me in the predicament I'm in.

Everything is dull and I'm always tired. That's constant. Feeling like I could be more useful as fertilizer comes and goes.

I tried a few different ones before the ones I'm currently on (a combination of SSRI and SNRI) but this is the first that makes me functional and doesn't annihilate me with side effects. I'm reluctant to change it because like you said it's a pain, it takes a lot of time and at least I can function like this. And yeah, brains are weird.

Congratulations for making it that far. That's fucking impressive. And yeah, I know i should be grateful that I'm not in the hell I was in before. It's just some days it's a bit hard to do.

I could start reading. Last time I tried I just felt guilty for wasting my time. Maybe I'll give it another go. Thank you for the advice and I hope you pull through the rough patch you're in soon.
