I can empathize to a lesser extent. I’m on pretty high doses of antidepressants to keep myself alive. The world feels dead. I’m not sure that I prefer that to me being dead. But I do it for the people who give a shit about me. Am I going to live past 65? Probably not. But for now, it just the way things are.
I’m not psychotic so it’s of course easier to be reasonable about the situation, but it’s never fun to be on drugs like these.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoI was going to chime in to parent mentioning a similar feeling when I was on an antidepressant. Life felt deadened and hollow, I couldn't really experience much of anything, I was doing things and having absolutely no emotional response to them whatsoever. The first time I cried, which happened extremely easily, while coming off of them I felt joy for the ability to feel something again, even if it was clearly an overreaction. 'Delicious' is the word I used to describe it.
