What do I do?
I have had pretty bad anxiety most of my life, I have a sensory processing disorder causing me to become overstimulated easily, and I have also struggled with depression.
I was taking 20mg of Lexapro for a few months specifically for anxiety and for the past 2-3 months I’ve waned myself off of it because, while it had helped ease my anxiety somewhat, I saw that it was putting me in a depression I hadn’t experienced in years. I had brought it up to people around me and everyone told me to stay on it because they’ve seen it help stabilize my mood significantly. I get so depressed and I can’t even cry when I take my meds, it makes me feel like I’m subhuman not being able to experience emotions like everyone else does.
I want to stop taking it but everyone else wants me to stay on them, If I don’t, my family will treat me like I’m trying to purposefully hurt them.
What do I do? :(
