I probably had it worse than most due to my raging neurodiversity. My brain 💯 does not have enough serotonin /dopamine.
Even so it could have just been my specific brain chemistry. But it’s worth keeping in mind because there’s a framing of “safe” antidepressants.
Don’t get me wrong, I needed something at the time. In hindsight, a career change and therapy would have been the better option. I have sensory issues that cause anxiety at the best of times. I was dealing with intense personal trauma and grief. Given my situation and choices, the chemical bandaid did help.
I somewhat resent getting put on lexapro so nonchalantly. Yes it really helped temper some dark thoughts and depressive episodes but didn’t make me happy either
