bad mh day, meds 

........so like..... are SSRIs supposed to make everything numb and intensify the apathy? Been on a low dose of Fluoexetine and it just seems to blur life?

Been trying to push though? Like it's harder to pull out of shitty moods, but maintaining a bland "eh" mood is easier?

@Draekos depends on the SSRI. They're extremely hit or miss and it may take trying several to find one that feels right. I found I didn't like the ones that made me feel so dampened I felt kind of robotic

@AzureHusky yeah... I dunno. Robotic doesn't really fit? Kinda like like... emotions are de-saturated a bit?

Should have had an appointment to talk about it on monday. Doctor cancelled. Still haven't found the spoons to make the 3 minute phonecall to book a new one :/

re: bad mh day, meds 

@Draekos yeah its worth talking to them when they're able. I had some make me feel robotic, some like I was feeling everything through a fog, one that made me MORE anxious... Doctors don't prepare ppl enough for the fact that it may take several tries to find a good one

re: bad mh day, meds 

@AzureHusky I mean, he mentioned it, but trying to talk to him to try a new one hasn't really happened.

re: bad mh day, meds 

@Draekos I'm sorry. I hope you can find the energy to call him for a new appointment soon.
