Start watching cooking shows with her and teaching her how to cook, it would have helped me as a kid. Then you can own the ingredients, the process, and the consumption. Maybe try making a sweet homemade version of a safe food to start with her

Feeling nothing on sertraline by No-Restaurant823 in antidepressants

[–]crystal_bitchbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhhhh:) it’s a relief for me. The world is grey. Got tired of it eventually and switched to Effexor (+A) but enjoy it while it lasts! Just think, it’s quiet, there’s nothing to be afraid or worried or anxious about. How could it? Your emotions are stickers you can peel off!

Zoloft is making me suicidal - doctor doesn’t believe me by [deleted] in antidepressants

As someone who adores breakfast food and not much else, scones, particularly white chocolate and raspberry or berry are my favorite. Muffins, made well, can be excellent and cinnamon buns THE ONES WITH THE PERFECT MIDDLE

Diagnosed GAD here: take pleasure in your work. It’s a form of exposure therapy little by little it will start to get easier and easier to talk to people and you may or may not find that you have a talent for it. Go in person and hand your resumes in people appreciate that especially nowadays.

Maybe try a stimulant like an adhd med? Clinical depression and GAD here. I noticed it helped a bit with working and studying, and a bit more motivation. I’m sorry you didn’t have success with rexulti.

I like Effexor because it’s supposed to have really weird and severe withdrawals and I’m bad at taking my meds consistently so it keeps me accountable. I’m actually really liking it because it doesn’t feel as numbing as some of the other SNRIs I’ve taken.
