Life on an SSRI

Life on an SSRI

I recently started back on medication specifically anxiety medication for the first time in years

I wanted to write about the journey for me and maybe track my progress by writing about how its going.

it might help someone else who’s considering it, currently going through or has been before.

i don’t think I’m allowed to name what I’m taking but thats ok. this is mostly for me to just get it out of my head. I might even decide Im being too vulnerable and delete this thread, but lets give it a shot.

Yes, sometimes sitting with not knowing is harder @ArraDreaming .

I'm glad you are able to document how it's going for you. It will be easier to track later.

It sounds like you may have go to sit with it for a little longer until the meds kick in. However, if you are very concerned, maybe you can phone healthdirect or your doc.

How did work go?

Did they go to their grandparents? @ArraDreaming

Sounds like you have a night with the SANE community and Nik 🙂

If your partner forgets something, I don't think you would say your "stupid ass stupid dumb ass brain forgot". Remember to be kind to yourself. You deserve it.

Question, when lighting fires, does it get smoky because the firewood is damp?

@tyme Yeah, and they wanted to take her with them cause she likes the farm, i said no lol

My partner will probably be back tomorrow afternoon and the kids might stay an extra night get dropped home Saturday. Not sure, will see how everyone goes.

Kind of, our fire wood doesnt really get wet cause it’s stored under cover but it does get damp/condensation from being outside

Hi @ArraDreaming

Just about to check out but wanted to say I hope the medication goes well for you. It can be so hard starting off. I also hope you had some nice adventures on Tuesday after I was chatting to you.

Take care

Argh @ArraDreaming , I hear you want to punch yourself, but remember self-compassion and kindness.

What's for dinner?

I had a creamy curry thing today - with rice.

Re: Life on an SSRI

nice, I’m not real hungry but i need to eat something. tossing up between some pork belly bites I’ve got, and putting a maple chilli glaze on them but not sure what to have them with, or just a cheese toasty @tyme I dunno
i might feel better if I eat a proper meal but no food is really appealing to me at the minute
