Already Numb- Is getting medicated a bad idea?
hi there! I'm sorry if this is a common question or a silly one at that. I've just recently come to terms with the significance of my symptoms and not blowing them off as laziness or something personal problem wrong with me hahah. To make a long story short, over the past few years I've struggled with chronic procrastination, task paralysis, and emotional numbness. I never felt the bleakness and hopelessness that I've typically associated with depression so I figured that whatever was going on with me wasn't serious enough to be concerned about until it really started to interfere with my ability to connect with others, be joyful about anything, and even properly take care of myself. I grew up in a house where no one was really medicated for anything and I'm actively trying to unlearn stigmas around medication for mental health. If I am someone who's symptoms are primarily emotional numbness, brain fog and task paralysis, is an antidepressant a bad idea for me?
