Good lord... I feel like i'm just starting to come out of a very long tunnel. For the last 8 months I tried to cope without anti-depressants and I thought I was coping well, but in reality I was just sliding downwards so slowly that I didn't notice the decline. I lost all interest in friends, family, and my hobbies. Now that i've been back on my SSRIs for a week, however, I can feel the beginnings of a renewed energy and interest in all things... and seem to be able to pay attention again, which is bringing my driving on really nicely.
If I ever decide to try to live without my happy pills again and you notice me sliding, you all have permission to slap me!
