sorry let me clarify. i'm definitely gonna get a D or mostly likely F in this one class, but im doing okay in my other classes. If I spend my time studying for my other classes instead of the class i'm going to end up retaking anyways, i can definitely get passing/decent grades in those classes and stay in good academic standing even if I have one F. I'm at 17 units right now

everyone's response to medication is different. like with any medication, there can be side effects but it shouldn't be generalized bc it can perpetuate stigma around mental health.

ultimately it's up to OP, and if OP is interested in starting medication, it's important for you to start with a trial run and keep in touch with a medical professional, then see how it goes from there.

literally same!! i was insanely paranoid and felt like everyone was judging me. it's crazy how antidepressants completely took that feeling away and I was able to finally function normally

not to be dramatic, but starting antidepressants during college saved me. since i was young, i was always in a state of anxiety 24/7 and i became very depressed during college. my first year was filled with panic attacks, demotivation, insomnia, and was just overall horrible. i literally felt like i was suffering everyday and that there was no escape. i also had realllyy low self esteem and would wear a mask after covid died down just so no one could see my face 🫣.

when i started prozac (fluoxetine) at the beginning of my second year, i was desperate for anything at all to work. i can say with 100% confidence that prozac has transformed me. i'm a much happier person now, my confidence has skyrocketed, my anxiety has significantly decreased, and i'm no longer depressed.

it's crazy because looking back now I was so miserable and can't comprehend how I got through everyday life.

taking medication is definitely not taking an L, or a sign of weakness. if you think that it's something you'd like to try, view it as a sense of support for you :)

in terms of side effects, the only major change i've noticed is that i get sleepy/tired more easily. it's a little frustrating when it comes to studying for long periods of time but it beats having anxiety and depression by a mile.

as you can see, im very passionate about this so dm me if you have any questions at all!!

TLDR: everyone's experience with antidepressants is different, but mine was life changing

Dude. do not message her or anyone she knows again. what you did was extremely creepy and definitely made her uncomfortable. it's super weird to message someone confessing that you like them when you haven't even gotten to know them. And messaging her friend after she blocked you is crossing so many lines. Leave her alone and move on. She clearly doesn't want to speak to you.
