Fuck shit like this, I was having VERY stupid thoughts about ending my existence until my girlfriend dragged me to the doctors, yes there are side effects but the alternative is that otherwise I wouldn’t be here anymore.
That’s what I had heard before and also that it takes a while to start working so I was quite surprised when I finally hopped on it myself. It’s only been a few days so big caveat here but: I already felt the first pill of 20mg. So much so that I asked my GP to go down to 10mg and I feel that too. And the feeling is reminiscent of an MDMA roll “afterglow” (as it’s sometimes called). Just a happy feeling in my stomach for hours and hours, coloring the thoughts that come to my head and making everything seem easier and lighter.
I wonder if it will stay like this or whether this is just a particularly pleasant adjustment period.
of course it’s a joke, but i still find it inappropriate, because it might prevent some people from getting help. even if it would cost one person from not getting help, is to much.
and it’s not like you usually have a bonobos sex drive while being in a heavy depression ;) unfortunately speaking from experience.

Nah, if I can’t have feelings sor orgasms and get more fat on top of that, I might as well really end it lol
Meme 's aside, SSRIs can be a blessing. I’m experiencing it right now.
They really can be. Even tho escitalopram made me feel numb that was still a better mood than before I was taking it

Yeah there are more important things than cumming and losing weight. A lot of more important things! Hope you’re thriving
I think the “joke” is that those side effects would make you very sad as well. Pretty counterproductive to the whole problem itself. 😅
But hey, I’m very glad you made it out of that state, and your girlfriend sounds like a real keeper. 💖 Keep on trucking! 🙏

I hear you, that’s a very valid perspective.
A lot of mine takes the form of seeking dumb instant gratification, so that may be subjective. 🤷♂️
It’s a joke in a shitpost forum. Calm down.
Was gonna post this but then then I came so hard I lost weight instead
doctors hate this simple trick
