A while ago I was getting stressed over my long time unemployment and going to job interviews so I started taking some left over SSRI and anti-anxiety meds from my drawer. I think the SSRI is actually fucking me up. I've been feeling worse and worse the past couple of days. Really anxious and upset and shit. Getting really worried about the interview a few days from now, worried about my own future. Just reading stuff online makes me feel really fucking useless. I've always been prone to get stressed and then just quit everything, education, moving out, job etc. I just feel like I can't do anything anymore, even visualizing doing the simplest job seems enormously difficult to me. In some way I desire to just give up trying anymore and just stop doing anything in my life
>>35045335afaik as i know, SSRIs can worsen the symptoms before they get better. you should take them in conjuction with talking to your doctor, those are meds that need 2 to 4 weeks to actually start working. you can't just take them on random days and expect them to work. it also takes a while getting off them, which is a process in itself and shouldnt be done cold turkey
>>35045335>Just reading stuff online makes me feel really fucking useless.Classic, ssris and doomscrolling, that is a doomloop of modern times. These days doctors should ask about screentime, alcohol/drugs and if you are getting several hours of physical activity each day.>>35045340Also this, the meds take time to work and one should not start taking them randomly either.
