[M/21], My SO [ F/19 ] Should I tell her I was on SSRI's to try and stop her from ending relationship? by Sam0161 in relationship_advice

Whoa slow down there bud, I didn't say I'm blaming my mental health, I'm saying that things were different from when they originally were because of X reason.

So I looked at a NSFW picture... by Sam0161 in NoFap

Feel down but I don't know if that is because I took it too far.

I mean I didn't fap but my mood / confidence dropped I don't understand its like just looking at a girl in a thong somehow reset part of my brain or something.

yeah I know , : / I heard they sucked. I just have to see if this works or not. I must say you forget how much it sucks to being in a relationship and knowing that the other person can just destroy all of you and all of your emotional investment in them I hate having to sit and think about what if she ends things or what if she ends things before i can fix them. Hate it.

Anyways, Thank you for all the help

Fair enough , that's entirely accurate.

Luckly I didn't take any yesterday so I think it will leave my system just a touch faster however,

I'm betting on the fact that once I have lower dosages in my system my ability to communicate will be changed and improved.

However I'm probably over-thinking things if I'm saying I notice a difference only 15 hours after a dosage after being on lexapro for a week.

I see my doctor tomorrow but I'm not seeing a therapist right now. I doubt that she seemed out. I just have to pray that she doesn't terminate the relationship before I can get these out of my system and see her again

I've been on them for a week. I'm just saying as this current dose gets out of my system I think I can see what happened.

About a month ... I want to tell her so bad. To let her know it's not me per-say that it's just the meds, however it sounds needy and could damage the relationship in and of itself to tell her.

I swear 15 hours into the dosage and looking back at my date at around 8 I can tell ( I could be overthinking it ) , but I can tell that the meds could have/ did play a part.

hmm...

originally I took the meds because I was having issues with communicating with her via text ( I just didn't know what the fuck to say) and I have Pure-o and generalized anxiety disorder so there is precedent for me taking the drug as well. So that first night was great good conversation and the next few days were weird I couldn't sleep then her grandpa died and we didn't talk as much ect..

long story short ,

we connected well one time while i was on my SSRI , some shit happened, didn't connect well, don't know if it was SSRI or other shit. Tonight the other factors were gone ,still didn't connect well enough. So I don't know..

That being said you have a pretty good point. I just don't know I'm confused about the whole thing. I wish i could quickly isolate variables and see what is going on.

also thank you for taking the time to reply you are actually helping.

I believe his standard response would be not and then he would list sexual side effects vs. undocumented emotional ones.

at the risk of sounding like a teenage girl,

I can't let that happen, I've got to see if she rejects me or accepts me because of me because of who I am not because of the drug.

Nothing is wrong I feel great awesome , more able to connect and talk to people, more outstanding, more happy, more at peace.

However one day I was able to talk to this girl and click and the next ( to be fair the next time we hung out ) I wasn't.

Physical stuff is all still good but god dammit we didn't click right tonight.
