This is part of the reason I hate Rick and Morty. Just ironic detachment and random/dark humor with no consequences.

Which ones?

lexapro

ssris, how long have u been taking them now? And how are they for you?

only like day 3, just feel a bit off lol. hard to describe but not really affecting me that much. but it's early days, doc said it takes like 4-6 weeks for everything to level out. at first i was like dam that's a long time, then i remembered i been depressed for 10 years so like what's a few weeks lol

lol yeah, it’s a long time waiting but overall its nothing. Interested in your journey. I choose to not take any meds, as I’m still managing okay, but otherwise itd wouldve been SSRIs too. So yeah, hope everything will get better for you. Fertilizer to a plant 🌱 🙏. Much love bro

hey thanks man, i appreciate the kindness. and yeah for the past 5 years I've been implementing so many positive habits and practices but the depression just remains at a moderate level regardless lol so I'm like well...might as well see if this does the trick

Yeah… I feel that. Is it dysthymia?

not diagnosed with that but i mean, sure sounds like it could be haha

I’m in a bad place right now.

Another year down where I thought I’d be dead before hand

Love you all

My car took a s*** and I work p far fml

Ever since getting and recovering from Covid, I’ve felt lost and out of sorts.

Sorry to hear thar bro, you seen any medical professionals for it?

Probably going to see a counselor my job provides. Brain fog is no joke.

Does anybody else make up scenarios that end up making you cry

Done crying

Not cry, but I have a hard time trusting that people actually like me. So I'm constantly overthinking s*** and coming up with scenarios, sometimes I let it build too much. I start to believe the fantasies.

Some weeks I’m just like… damn, this just not it and I’d rather take nothing.. even if I can’t identify what makes me feel that way, that makes me think that I might just be short on serotonin

so far i dont notice any major changes. but i'm also 2 days free from weed after being high sunrise to sunset for weeks and weeks lol so I'm still returning to my baseline/stabilizing so yeah

after 10 years of this bullshit, 5 of which I been in therapy and integrating these helpful, positive, and healing practices, I'm like yeah dam maybe my brain is just broken

but also I just look at the world around me and think, how could anyone not feel depressed

what are you taking btw?

Same about looking around you and getting depressed because of it.

It seems like you’re more sensitive than the average person. There’s research that suggests that people with an increased sensitivity often have a genetic variation that lowers serotonin levels.

I’m not on anything right now…

Hmm well fingers crossed that this does the trick for me and my sensitive ass. a mfer just wants to be consistently happy lol. You thinking you might try and give some meds a shot or nah?
