What SSRI do you take?
I am on Celexa and feel the
same way. When I wasn't on
them, emotion just had
an unparralelled depth, It
was just too painful to bear
however. Things would just be
so so so sad. It is really quite
hard to explain. Now all I can
do is laugh and make jokes, it is
fine in public, I have turned into
a social butterfly, but at home
when I am by myself I sometimes
feel so phony it is unbeleivable.

I can't complain that much because
it has literally helped me get out
of my mind and back into life. I
get things done now, I just feel
like I can only experience one emotion.

Do you rememer things about how colors
made you feel, or how you kind of got
frightened and imaginative when seeing
an old haunted house on a dark night.
I had strange feelings when looking at
things like railways and churches that
are gone now. I used to enjoy a somewhat
darker side of life that just made you
feel in awe. Things like looking up
at a tower and feeling just how small you
were.

Motion and movement are another thing
that seem squelched. Things like seeing
a huge rollercoaster swoosh down the
track enduced such a feeling of power.
I don't feel amazed by much anymore.
Someone's massive body or exceptional
tallent doesn't seem to make me want
to be a better person. I rarely feel
enspired by people.

There isn't that sence of achievement
as well. I could jog 10 miles and
feel good about my self but not
WOW that was amazing.

A perfect example. When watching the
matrix a few years ago, I left the theatre
thinking wow that was cool. Then the next
two weeks, I felt myself soaring and moving
and spinning about like the actors.

Now I watch the movie and all I appreciate
is things like the colors, or the costume
design, or the acting skills, or the
way Keano Reeves says whoa or fruitish things
like that.

I AM CONFUSED
