i can't tell you how many times I've heard people say "oh i started taking antidepressants and i felt numb/emotionless"

like you didn't have depression in the first place retard

ehhh

they could have a time of doubt in there life

and they try to get help

and they help digs em deepe

I think it should be used to get you emotionally balanced enough to find a way to balance yourself and then quit the medication

That's not how it works though

In a person who has depression, their brain is chemically offset by default

it's not fluid emotions

@Wesleyy the problem is when you are on addiction meds, anti depressants, anti anxiety, all the emotion holes get clogged

Antidepressants are not "happy pills"

and you just lose alot of feeling

@Wesleyy I felt that numbness. I prefer feeling like absolute shit and then sometimes feeling good rather than not having any ups and downs

yeah they arent happy pills

You lose feeling when you are depressed

they clog up and block the sad

and then you clog up the anxiety

and then the impulsivity

and suddenly you are mindless

I feel like without the ups and downs I'm a zombie

and you feel shit cus you are mindless

so they give you more

and the cycle continues

I don't think you know how antidepressants work so

It's fucking shitty when you can't feel love for people you care about even if you stop hurting yourself

I can't feel love while on antidepressants but I couldn't feel it before either

I just can't bare not being able to love my boyfriend which is what medication does to me. Seriously makes me feel like absolute shit

I barely have any "ups and downs" now, and again nor did I before

just the difference is I'm not as fragile and I don't feel sick everyday

yeah they balance

apathetic

Shut up with that gay shit

There's no such thing

@Hyrulean Paladin I agree but some people are in a bad enough state that without medication they're completely fucked

I'd rather not feel sick everyday than "feel ups and downs"

in the end wed rather just be normal and not have a fucked mind

in the end everything can just be a mentality

No

You're talking out of your ass

exactly
