Life on an SSRI

ArraDreamingSenior Contributor04 July 2023, 9:00 pm AEST

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.

Aww @ArraDreaming that is super rough. I can hear you're really being hard on yourself today. Maybe it doesn't matter so much now, but I'm still here to chat if it helps you make it through the day. Has work been really hard on you lately?

Aww nice @ArraDreaming . I might have asked you this before but what kind of dog do you have? For some reason I picture you owning a staffy 😋
