People who take SSRIs are living an inauthentic human life.
They don't really work, SSRIs are a scam
>>84931870You would be surprised. There are countless people walking around and existing as literal automatons. Numb to the world and their own feelings.
i was already living inauthentically though, this just gets me through
>>84931847I think that depression is just a mindset issue, you just have a terrible, inaccurate worldview and a bad approach to life.I hate SSRIs because it means all these people walk around with their shitty views and depressive outlooks but present as normal people. And then try to tell me their opinions, or shame me for my opinions.Your opinions and views of the world are literally so bleak and retarded that holding them would make you kill yourself if you let nature play out. How about you go take your happy drugs, and then shut the fuck up and sit this one out?
>>84931847Same with birth control desu
Okay genius, how am I supposed to live my life as a bipolar crazy person?
>>84931847I've been saying this for a while and I think that being on SSRIs takes away the ability to give meaning to life. In some it takes away sadness or anxiety however, typically as a result it completely blunts emotions as a whole. What is life if there is no meaning to be given? More importantly emotions to be felt, emotions are part of occupying the human vessel and to blunt your emotions in that manner and not experience life in its truest form is to discard the gift of it all and live in a facade.
It's absolutely insane that people will say with a straight face that taking drugs and therapy is a valid approach to problems. Roach infestation? Mind over matter dude, if you don't mind it don't matter. Here's some pills to make them harder to see, it works great combined with the this blindfold, err I mean light canceling eyewear(only $199.98, or two for $299.98!) Water sanitation problem? Sounds like you have a chemical imbalance and your digestive system can't handle fecal contamination normally, here's a prescription for antibiotics to take three times a day for the rest of your life. This special vessel for liquids was designed to be opaque to help you better cope with your water sensitivity, it's only $799.99, and we offer a special payment program for those who qualify.
I'm on snri and an antipsychotic and I genuinely don't understand this perspectives. I feel so much better and in control of myself, so much more "living" in the now and not stewing in a cloud of paranoia and delusion.I don't think you guys know what you're talking about at all. There are people with genuine mental health issues that can be helped by medication.>>84932751in particular is really naive.
>>84931847you only say this because you're a normie with zero mental problems. You just larp as a doomer boy
>>84932883You are the naive one. Do you really think profoundly deranged and incapable of functioning without a team of jew puppetmasters and prescription drugs describes the majority of people taking prescription psychoactive substances and undergoing brainwashing techniques/therapy? If drugs are so great why are they paywalled behind multiple high cost industries? It's a money grab and form of population control, they know that it is harmful to the subject and don't care. You might be fucked up enough that benefits outweigh the risk. Over 80% of Americans take at least one pill of some kind or another at least once a week. That seems a little ridiculous to me.
>>84932898I think about suicide daily, have a very hard time with eye contact, suffer panic attacks, and I will never take the goypills. People have been writing about the misery I experience for centuries. Its human. Life is suffering. I would rather feel something than nothing
>>84933020What? I have one family doctor who prescribed them, and they cost like 15/month. I'm not sure where you're getting your ideas, but they don't seem accurate to reality.
>>84933095do you enjoy the anxiety or something
>>84933120No but I champ it
>>84933129I have not really had panic attacks since I started my medication and its been great. I'm sorry if you had a bad experience with doctors or medications that makes you not like them.
Just make your dick permanently numb. That will solve your problems.
>>84933095>life is suffering, therefore I must maximize my sufferingYou know, anon, food is a drug. To be true to yourself, you would need to starve yourself to death.
>>84933225that's typically only an issue for the first couple months. No issues here.
>>84933112Liar. You pay $15/mo,other people pay the remaining much higher costs. The one family doctor went through twelve years of grade school, a bachelor's degree, medical school, and internship all just to hurt people and take advantage of very stupid people who think they need medicine. You can't even get a five minute consult with a family doctor for $15 unless he plans to recoup the costs later through other ways. You've probably had bloodwork done, vital signs checked, exams, all sorts of stuff.Even if you weren't a liar $15 monthly subscription for not being crazy + insurance premiums or taxpayer funded gibs is ridiculous. You would have no need for such things if your environment did not cause the problems you are trying to mask.
>>84933237Slight difference being you won't get raided by a swat team and go to prison for decades if you make carrots in your home. Can't say the same about methamphetamine or pregabalin or codeine or aspirin.
>>84933242What? I don't have to pay anything to go to the family doctor, or to get bloodwork done. I'm canadian.If it were really an environmental problem, I would have expected it to change with the environment. It took me a while to accept that the problem was mine, but there is no shame in it. 15/month is a small price to pay for control and stability.
I take sertraline everyday. I am essentially anti-psychaitry. I think it's based on quack science and drug companies who cheat trials. I don't even believe psychiatric diagnoses are really legitimate. I think I take this drug, sertraline, everyday because it has subtle psychoactive effects that overall improve my life. Before taking this drug I was like, fairly insane. I would get into extreme emotional states and hit myself in the face until I'd get black eyes. I'd fall into complete despair and get utterly trapped by exhaustion and almost collapse if I went for a walk by my house. Not able to go on but in too much despair to walk back. I had very serious thoughts and semi plans of an incredibly violent suicide. I wanted to set my body on fire and then jump off this 120meter cliff in my city to the rocks below. This serttaline has stabilized me and I can go to the supermarket and be fairly normal now. I just need to get a job. I've found motivation in expressing myself by making little videos and have been writing a journal. I also buy pregabalin and take that as well.
>>84931847Mhmmm monke
>>84933241Why would you want to play russian roulette with your dick?>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39302425/>This study explored the long-lasting sexual side effects specifically, reduced genital sensitivity of certain antidepressants, even after stopping the medication, in a diverse group of young people, primarily those identifying as sexual and gender minorities. We analyzed responses from a large survey, focusing on participants with a history of psychiatric drug use but without genital surgeries. Our findings indicate that those who used antidepressants experienced a substantial increase in reports of reduced genital sensitivity 13.2% of antidepressant users compared to 0.9% of users of other medications. This symptom is more common among individuals who had used antidepressants and sedatives. Our results emphasize the necessity for clear warnings and proper consent processes about potential long-term sexual side effects, particularly for young patients, and standardization of these procedures across countries.
>>84931847This post really caught my attention because I identify as an android and want to become more android-like. This idea about an inauthentic human experience kind of appeals to me as I want to distance myself from my humanity.Could someone who has taken SSRI's maybe tell me a bit more about this experience? Would it be right for the android inclined?
