ARE SSRIS COPE???????????

[gigaslayer]

I wanna start off by saying I am a relatively attractive guy (reaffirmed by every person I've basically talked to constant compliments on appearance), I'm tall, and can make people laugh. I do not think I have any issues socially and if I do they can easily be improved by just going outside more.

I don't know why I'm depressed. Nothing in my life brings me joy. I don't do any of my hobbies anymore, I despise talking to people, I am not taking care of the responsibilities that I have to take care of, and I no longer even enjoy playing video games, which is literally all I've done for years now. I am in a constant state of just anger or irritability, and I have no desire to really change anything.

What I just described basically immediately warrants taking some kind of antidepressant. But I cannot shake this feeling that ssris are for schizocels that end up going ER, or they temporarily help you but in the long run send you spiralling.

I'm just looking for some hopefuel here. Has anyone taken them? Success stories? Getting off of it? I really don't know what else to do. I don't feel like I should be so miserable. I'm not unhealthy either so I just don't know what's causing it.

BUMP COPE OR HOPE

 

[GreekGenes]

SSRIs are among the most commonly prescribed medications. Some are better than others and they vary in their efficacy depending on the exact psychiatric disorder.

It's never a good idea to prescribe SSRIs without an accompanying psychotherapy though, but they are great in reducing anxiety levels and improving patients mood.

I've also been on SSRIs for some time and as i was getting better i slowly titrated the dose down in accordance with my doctor's advice and now am almost SSRI-"free".

thanks for the input. can you elaborate a little more specifically on how it positively affected you? is your life significantly better, did it restore passions for you, things like that?

because the idea that if you're attractive your life will suddenly be sunshine and rainbows is complete incel cope lmfao your life happiness is determined by your neurochemicals

i promise you this entire website and the sites that preceded it have a distorted view on the human experience
you will not be happy no matter how good looking you are if you arent mentally, and attraction is an external validation that can only help up to a certain point

SSRIs distance you from life. No matter what you do I say never take them. Serotonin isn’t energy. Your serotonergic system is OVER active. It’s a sort of trauma response you have developed lowering serotonin might help you over all.

Well you've said it yourself. All you've done for years is play videogames.

Don't be taking ssris. Don't be a pill boy.
