I'm sorry that happened. It seems to be all too common in the US.
What anti deps are MEANT to do, is be lift you to a level where you can cope/function, and therapy gives you the tools and strategies for learning to do all the humaning things. Then you wean off the pills and with continued therapy, you continue to function.
They're like training wheels. They're not meant for full time use. They're to help you while you learn the skills you need to go solo.
Yeah that's true, which is basically how i ended up using them, except with being able to socialize in general and learn from that, since apparently doctors here arent very helpful when it comes to therapy. nowadays I'm much less socially anxious, so i quit taking any, but all the feelings returned, mostly depression and feeling weird around people but no longer nervous about it. I feel like i still need to learn how to do the humaning things somehow lol :/
Which antidepressant is best at killing crushes?
