  2. CW: Mental Health

    I wish I had something earth shattering to post but I really do not. I’m in survival mode, all I have is a life jacket, and the seas are only growing stormier. I’m caught in that weird #antidepressant #purgatory that is feeling empty. I feel neither happy nor sad, neither angry nor mellow. I feel no emotions at all.

    I want to make love to my fiancée but my penis will not cooperate. It has other ideas. I am left wondering if this is truly it. Is there anything better to this life? No, I’m not going to kill myself. The wake of destruction I’d leave would make the act very selfish. I just soldier on because I am a stubborn old fool and it serves me (mostly) well.

    I hate this antidepressant purgatory. But healthy eating, sunlight, and exercise only go so far. We need a fair and just society to live in. In the US, there’s no such thing.

  4. The "Party of Small Government" wants to interfere in more medical treatment decisions...the guy with the brain worms will be the judge of whether your #antidepressant prescription is *really* necessary.

    Anyway, just another aspect of social progress we're rolling back because returning to a time people remained conveniently invisible and/or just died instead of being accepted and assisted will make us great again. Or something. #MAHA #eugenics #americanfascism #RFKJr

  6. 1/ I’ve halved my #antidepressant #sertaline (from 100mg to 50mg) as my #seasonalaffectivedisorder #sad and #bipolar means that I get a bit over excitable / energetic / aggressive when the sun is out. The irritability and aggression are obviously the big problems here. I think dropping the dose has taken the edge off but it also hits my confidence and makes me more needy in my #relationships .

  7. while #rightwing has the #privilege (?) to live a #life in #ignorance and #stupid and thus not fix any #problems (until they become so big that everyone starts running in circles in #panic)

    #lefties also have the #right to a #happy #life

    i know it's #hard being #positive #optimistic #inspiring when #madness is getting so much attention (which can lead to #depression)

    but he is right, if it's financially possible without breaking your back: go #travel do something positive :D

    do whatever u can to become your own #antidepressant

    In pharmacology, an #antidepressant refers to a fairly diverse set of molecules that do not have the same modes of action, the same therapeutic effects or the same undesirable effects.

    A common goal: to target monoamines, neuromodulators

    Generally speaking, these are molecules that target what are called #neurotransmitters, including serotonin, noradrenaline or dopamine. When a neurotransmitter attaches to receptors in one neuron, it transmits an electrical message that can be transmitted to another neuron. It's kind of like a relay race. There are over 20 different types of synapses, each of which conveys specific messages and are involved in this brain activity differently."

  15. Y’all #ssri withdrawal is not fun. Every doctor is so quick to prescribe them without going into detail about how your body is not gonna be happy when you decide it’s time to stop taking them.

  16. Hey #Fediverse. Let's crowdsource important medical decisions.

    Doc wants me to try an #antidepressant called #lexapro.

    Anyone got an experience to share, good or bad? With this or any other #SSRI drugs?
