She really just advocated for weed as a better antidepressant than antidepressants lol. I have been taking Wellbutrin for 2 years and I am infinitely happier, can empathize so much better, and have so much more passion for life. It’s not even a comparison. I agree with her that you should try everything else first, like diet, exercise, sleep, sunlight etc. But if you’ve tried everything, and nothing works, try antidepressants. They worked for me
is that why i cannot cry? what about my other emotions? those are all messed up too. im getting to the point where i forgot what each emotion feels like.
My boyfriend is on Antidepressants. They make things so difficult for me. I’m glad he’s not sad but his lack of regular emotions creates distance between us and makes him essentially not feel the joy and love that I feel for him. And the sex thing is very true, climax is nearly impossible. I’m just terrified that antidepressants are ruining our relationship.
I don’t think these broad statements are helpful and will stop many from receiving the help that they need. I lost weight, kept all my passion and empathy, and finally feel like myself again.
The stability on SSRI’s are awesome, I even did better at work and became more productive, the downside is that when You do want a drink or a puff, You feel almost nothing or at least I didn’t on SSRI’s. Less empathetic and cold to other ppl, it’s just not me. Ntm the sexual side effects no thanks
Very true.. i lost passion i felt like Zombi. Cipralex takes the stress away.but i discovered stress was a good thing as it motivates me.. no sadly i have no motivation at all.. i hate the day i started Cipralex
4 mins & all I can say is: as a dude that I WANT to lack things like emotion, empathy, pain, etc. I've always wondered how I can trigger my brain off these things. Even if it meant cutting a piece of my own brain out. These things are distraction from making money. I think I'll continue taking the Celexa
Yes I will medicating myself to be invulnerable not because I don’t want to be so empathetic anymore but because too much empathy can get in your way for doing things to help. How are going to be able to help people you empathize with us if you’re feeling so much pain for their pain that it makes you physically sick instead of using empathy to motivate you to help them. Too much emotions and too much empathy is not always good. Ask me as I am a highly sensitive person!

Epic gamer fact: I'm on an SSRI and if anything it's made me more empathetic and emotional since I can now feel things other than ✨pain and dullness✨
The book "30 Days to Reduce Depression" by Harper Daniels is recommended. Gives good daily mindfulness exercises. Worth a try.

The only thing they do is sedated you do you don’t really feel anything

Medications should be lowered to 5-10% use, not 70% of population. Medications are poisonous trash.
