ANOTHER thing I’ve started to realize now that I’ve consistently been on antidepressants for a few months is that I’m just now learning how to be a person.

I’ve been mentally ill for at least the last ten years. this is the first time in my life I haven’t been depressed. but because of that I’m kind of learning who I am for the first time without the weight of mental illness. and I love it.

I’m learning how to be me, I’m learning about how to take care of myself and my space, I’m learning about how I give and receive love, and yeah it’s a lot of work to be learning all this effectively for the first time at 22 but it’s so worth it.

I fucking love being medicated. I’ve never been able to just get out of bed and do things just to get them done. it has always been out of absolutely necessity or a pending deadline and it was always always always procrastinated and half-assed. but now I can get out of bed and get straight to work on stuff and feel good and accomplished.

going to the psychiatrist tomorrow to get my meds approved and i'm terrified they're going to jerk me around like last time and leave me high and dry and i cannot stress enough how USELESS and SUICIDAL i am without this medication and i just really need tomorrow to work out and there's a basket of laundry sitting next to me i have to fold and i have to get my workout done and i'm just so scared

okay mental illness med friends, what are our opinions on vilazodone (vvibryd) vs. bupropion (wellbutrin)? my psych wanted to put me on cymbalta and i said fuck no, so these are the other two we are considering. thanks!

Me, asking my boss every possible conceivable question about how to send this calendar invite to make sure absolutely nothing is wrong:

My boss: don't overthink it

Me, with OCD (Overthinking Constantly Disease), RSD (If I Ever Get In Trouble I'll Cry Disease) and a recently doubled medication dose that has had me in a constant ongoing anxiety attack for two weeks straight: ok

Oh I don't think I've mentioned here that I started on Bupropion (Wellbutrin) a little over a week ago for adhd symptoms. I still need to go through neuropsych testing but between my therapist and my doc and the fact I had been on bupropion years ago briefly in college and it had been the literal best year of my life, everyone felt pretty comfortable with the high likelyhood.

It's going pretty well so far. By like the third or fourth day I noticed some small things and noticing a few more as the days go on. No bad side effects yet. The first several days I had this weird sensation in my head, it's hard to explain but I'm now hearing that's not uncommon with adhd meds. It's a little less intense now but those first few days was really annoying.

Things that are different:

Definitely quieter in my head

I don't feel the need to snack for pleasure

I remember tasks a bit better

I can switch tasks a little easier

I get distracted a little less and can remember what I'm supposed to be doing easier. Kinda feels like my brain is using bookmarks or something lol

I can see how to break up a task easier. It feels like I don't see everything all at once to the point it's too overwhelming

Hard tasks are still hard but I seem less likely to spend all day on it and "scary" tasks get done a little quicker

Decision making I think is a little easier (again I think I don't run through/see everything all at once to the point of being overwhelmed)

Tend to notice a bit more when I'm tired

Doing routine mundane tasks without really thinking about them (see toothbrush - brush teeth, see dish - take to kitchen) Update: Why I had to stop taking Wellbutrin/bupropion

[psybrepunk]

I love how every time I start taking Wellbutrin (bupropion) I'm like "This is the best decision of my life"

And also every time I stop taking Wellbutrin (bupropion) I'm like "This is the best decision of my life"

me: so yeah my antidepressants double as my adhd meds so I’ve been having a pretty hard time since I haven’t been able to get ahold of them-

person not even apart of the conversation: oh I could NEVER take adhd meds

me:

person: I did once and I just felt like such a ZOMBIE how do you even FUNCTION like that

me:

person: no cuz like I didn’t even feel like a PERSON when I was medicated how do you MANAGE being medicated

me: …cuz if I don’t take them I’ll kill myself-

[deludedcrayon]

Forgot to take with food. Upset stomach. Quickly fixed by chicken nuggets.

No other effects.

Let's see if day 2 is better with cereal for breakfast.
