Hi everyone
I find myself back here again after a bit of a break from participating. I have still been checking in and enjoying your posts on various topics, it does keep me going. I have felt unable to join in for a while as I felt quite jumbled up and seriously low on enthusiasm.
I have been taking antidepressants for the past 6 weeks or so as I was feeling quite sad and felt that I needed some help, I wasn’t sure what to expect as it was a very long time ago when I last had them. Back then I felt almost like I wanted to end things so I ceased taking them and said I would never go down that road again.
This time after getting over the dip in mood and constantly feeling sick I found myself with no enthusiasm for anything and felt numb. I have always been used to my ups and downs and managed it as best I could but this numbness and not appearing to care much about anything is not suiting me at all. I even cancelled my last two therapy sessions as I could not think of anything I wanted to talk about. I have stopped taking the antidepressants for the last 3 days to see how it goes.
Has anyone else felt like this when taking this kind of medication and have you found it useful at all? I’m really undecided what to do and feel quite messed up over it all.
Thank you for reading and it’s nice to be back.
