Man after so much effort I really hope it wasn't the "Jewish pills" that tricked me into thinking I was a real artist. Would be sad really. Hoping it's withdrawal / depression still there (if depression is even real) I have mad anhedonia.
>>8009884SSRIs can unfortunately do serious long-term damage that persists even after you stop taking them, but the longer you go without taking any drugs the more you’ll recover.I think only a small number of individuals actually have a “chemical imbalance” that causes depression. Most people are only “depressed” because life is shit. Yeah, life is shit, duh. Being depressed is a natural reaction to that. Pain is normal, don’t beat yourself up over feeling pain.
stop spamming your garbage and learn to draw you worthless nigger
>>8009894Don't call it garbage I think it's cute op here. But yeah I'm strongly considering drawmaxxing for some time. >>8009890It feels exactly like before I took them: boring and every brush stroke feels like an annoying chore. I'm guessing then it's not withdrawal and it's likely either prior depression/whatever shit life conditioning lowering my enjoyment of things or I just don't like it. I guess thats a tripartite trifurcation rather than bipartite now that you mentioned the nuance that life state could lead to anhedonia symptoms.
>>8009897>It feels exactly like before I took them: boring and every brush stroke feels like an annoying chore.Sounds like you like the idea of being an artist more than the reality.
>>8009890i am on ssri's and i dont think they cause damage, but i am on a low dose of zoloft so maybe its different.
>>8009884dude thats fucking garbage can you shut up please? there are people here who struggle with self worth despite not being literal impostors, and our feelings matter more than yours.
>>8011068What's garbage. If you mean my painting then pyw. I'm sure you're some genius. >feelings matterFeelings don't matter unless they point to an insurmountable contradiction like in my case. I.e want to be an artist but only while on SSRI. If you feel worthless because you're a bad artist or because of something external then try to fix those things. Though I guess there can be more than contradictions in terms, like being really good yet never finding success, so an external yet (seemingly) impossible to solve contradiction. I guess that's fine. But why am I an impostor? I'm hypothesizing that SSRIs may have tricked me into thinking I liked painting, in which case perhaps I would be some kind of unintentional impostor, or someone who was tricked into being one, but why would you be angry at me when I would be the victim of a strange biochemical reaction? But yeah I guess I didn't have to make a thread, so my bad on that one. Well, I could have made a thread I think it's an interesting topic, maybe more so not add an image of a painting I made since it's a bit attentionwhoring. But the thread topic is good enough for a thread I'd say, sounds interesting to me. Either way I'm not trying to be dramatic, just a lot of people shitting on me and statistically they are likely the same or worse as me at a technical level.
>>8011079you are embarrassing yourself even more what the hell, just shut up.
>>8010917Many people have reported permanent sexual dysfunction and lack of emotions even years after they stop taking them
