Depression

[pevergreen]

I admire you man.

You really shouldn't man.

I'm trying to win her back because I did make her happy
but at the same time, I'm trying to get over her so she comes out of this ok
and I'm also trying to figure out what to do
while also trying to find out what she wants.

Just as an intermittent question while I research it, I was told by a guy at school who takes anti-depressants that they numb emotion, causing the person to wonder why they should be in a relationship.

Thymoanesthesia

Closely related to sexual side effects is the phenomenon of emotional blunting, or mood anesthesia. Many users of SSRIs complain of apathy, lack of motivation, emotional numbness, feelings of detachment, and indifference to surroundings. They may describe this as a feeling of "not caring about anything anymore." All SSRIs, SNRIs, and serotonergic TCAs are liable to cause this effect to varying degrees, especially at higher dosages.

Looks like the next step is to find out what meds shes on now.

Anyone taking antidepressants should be closely watched for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Monitoring is especially important if this is the person’s first time on depression medication or if the dose has recently been changed. Signs that medication is making things worse include anxiety, insomnia, hostility, and extreme agitation—particularly if the symptoms appear suddenly or rapidly deteriorate.

* Suicidal thoughts or attempts
* New or worse depression
* New or worse anxiety
* Aggression and anger
* Acting on dangerous impulses



* New or worse irritability
* Feeling agitated or restless
* Difficulty sleeping
* Extreme hyperactivity
* Other unusual changes in behavior

She just changed meds, she seemed to get irritable faster, she hasnt been able to sleep properly, she completely reveresed on how she felt in 24 hours. She was more angry than usual. I just hope I am over reacting.
