With you 100% on acceptance. Just to add to the record: in my experience, medication (at its best) hasn’t numbed me, more that it gives me a window to recognize what I’m feeling, which has helped me to continue pursuing the things that I value. YMMV, of course.
- ljm 8y agoIt totally depends on what you're dealing with and where you're at :) Being on Prozac for the best part of a year helped me out for sure, in terms of keeping me going and not giving in, which in turn led me on to other things. I don't see it as the entire solution or a lifelong treatment (you can't medicate enjoyment and fulfilment) but it can be very effective at giving you an opening or a boost into something new, and in all fairness you can't just suddenly accept, like you're flicking a switch and you're okay with everything. That window is incredibly important.
