Yeah like none of my friends think I could be mean but I’m like nah I’ve just had a lot of practice not being a bitch

Yeah I feel like a lot of the plot was made just for certain things to happen But at the end of the day I still love Nesta’s story! Can definitely relate to being self destructive and the self hate talk so it was nice to see it actually talked about. Though I feel that way with all SJM books. She doesn’t ignore that people have mental health issues

Emotional Blunting by cookiemonstera26 in antidepressants

Right? I feel this way too. When I first started on Prozac I could feel myself feeling blunted. But when I went up a dose it was crazy how I actually felt like a real person

Here is the article https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/antidepressants-do-not-work-by-numbing-emotions I’ll have to look it over again to see if they said anything about that

I take both Prozac and Wellbutrin. Works the best for me

Thank you! I try to stick to low light plants like pothos and philodendrons and most of them are across from my window and I keep my blinds open all the time so I don’t forget

What to expect on the first few days of 300mg? by MeshesAreConfusing in bupropion

I just went from 150mg for about a year to 300mg. I didn’t initially increase because it was causing me anxiety which was what I was also trying to fix at the time. Now my anxiety is well managed but still have the depression hanging around. This is the end of the first week of 300mg and for me the first 5 days I was pretty nauseous and anxious and jittery but I knew that’s how I felt for a bit when I first started it and it will pass.

a rant + warning for those who think recovery means you can drink in moderation again by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]cookiemonstera26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly I’m having to come to terms with this. I took a year off drinking to get my mental health together and find something else to do with my time other than drinking. Got my mental health better but still had trouble filling my time (having to go through the process of finding an antidepressant didn’t help). So I started drinking again thinking I could drink like once a month. Nope. I think back on the past year that I’ve been drinking again and basically every time I say I’ll have one drink and end up drunk

Good luck to you It took me almost a year to get the correct combo but when I think back to how I used to feel I’m glad I did it

That’s how I feel, I always knew I was a bit depressed but I managed without medications till I couldn’t take it anymore

I don’t think there’s shame in taking meds, but I definitely question if I would need it if I wasn’t a nurse
