this energy boost usually doesn't last.. but so far I've always had a good response to SSRIs when I'm in the pit. Thanks for the reminder that I'm lucky about that. What usually happens next is the good mental effects diminish over time, and I get tired of struggling with the many negative physical effects, and it starts to seem like there's not much payoff.

So right now, this is the honeymoon period, except I've already got insomnia and increased anxiety, which is why I went off the stuff in the first place.

I don't know why I'm so resistant to accepting that my brain doesn't function well without meds. It's just an organ anyway, right? I got enamored with the idea of having control over my emotions and thoughts. Because we do have some control. Just not enough to pull me out of this rumination/upset cycle. I need the chemical boost.

I should thank my poor brain for working so hard under a chemical handicap for so long. Guess I haven't been very nice to it. I'm like OK brain, you don't get any chemicals, you just keep working with what you've got. And P.S. Shame on you for needing extra chemicals! I owe my brain a huge apology.
