I guess I might be bothering, but I got a question. Did you ever experience discomfort and hesitation while watching movies/cartoons? Not in the scary parts but in those where the character goes emotional, for example, puts himself in an embarassing situation. Like the urge to stop watching or leave the room, something like that?
Sometimes. I rewatched Lilo and Stitch the other day and I was on verge of crying when Nani was going to lose Lilo to the Social Worker bc…. well. been there before with my cousins ‘cept i didnt get no alien rescue happy ending.
Hey man. Just tellin ya a breif story. My dad went on anti-depressants years ago. My mother asked the doctor if they'll really help him, and the doctor said they on;y do about ten percent of the work, that he had to do the rest. It's all about reprogramming your brain to prefer the thoughts you like rather than self-damning ones. I still struggle with this myself, but I'm doing my damndest and I can tell you it's working. You aren't average, nothing you do is average. You're the best.
Being off them i realized i only felt like that because of the meds. And while it is nice to be to cry and say “i love you” to people and truly mean (not that i dont when i do say it) with all my burning heart.
But since things have proven to be more difficult of them… i dunno hopely i can get a perception that isnt has numbing to me as the ones i took before.
You’re great. We can make it through it. We’ll be okay.
Ah, that. No, I understand what you mean. For the most part, my medication makes me feel apathy towards others, or a lack of empathy to many emotions. Only when it's an extremely close connection does it ever impact me. Case in point, I put the loss of my previous cat above relatives outside my immediate family.
Fuck man i feel u. xcept when my dog passed i didnt feel. anything still. anger sure but it was like, I was more annoyed that my cousin coulndt watch where she was going. and i moved on fairly quickly. frighteningly quickly and with each tragedy and reacted lightly i felt less and less human?
I know that feeling, I call it simply emotional disconnect. Like, they're your friend or family or whatever and you should feel strongly about whatever happened, but there's like a gap between you and your emotions so you can't feel more strongly about it than you would about somebody you don't know, right?
YES EXACTLY
GOD I FEEL BETTER THAT OTHERS FEEL THE SAME WAY
Anti-depressants suck, but some of us need 'em to survive. That said, just make sure you keep an eye out as to whether or not they're working. All anti-depressants affect people differently.
the ones i took before for me worked wonders in that i was more productive and able to lift myself up in the morning. the only real down side to them was that i was. fairly… unable to feel empathy for others? not in a cold way more like in a …. oh, i should have an emotional connection to this person/whats happening but i dont? its hard to explain.
I was sad u did not have the money to go to last con i would have loved to meet you and the mod for glitter
on the bright side i might be able to be put on anti depressants in Dec so I’ll probably stop feeling like shit!!
