Woo! That’s really nice to hear! You’re really lucky haha I remember for me during my first week while my body was getting used to it I was feeling really nauseous and couldn’t sleep lol.

Also like @[email protected] said I agree you should be careful as it is unusual to be feeling better that quickly. There are many reasons that could happen tho, the obvious one is placebo (but who cares really if you’re feeling better); second one is that the desicion to go get antidepressants has had a positive benefit to your life and made you feel like you want to make even more progress, in turn increaseing your happiness; third one is mania (extreme euphoria) which is extremely unlikely, but a dangerous potential side effect of anti-depressants and you probably need to call an ambulance if this happens; and finally fourth one is that it really has just worked extra quickly for you, which is unlikely but not impossible!

So whatever the reason is I’m glad it’s working out for you, just be mindful of your emotions but don’t worry too much as you’ll probably be able to tell if something is seriously wrong.

Good look for the future :)

Tbh I’m not sure lol. Personally I’ve struggled with a lot of mental health issues since I was young so I’m finding it hard to say whether we should live life to its fullest or just accept the feeling of finally feeling ok. What do you consider meaningless btw?

That was really insightful tysm for replying. I feel like you’ve thought about this before haha.

Yeah I think you might be right, sometimes it feels like a day’s been wasted because I didn’t spend it exactly how I envision a good day, but there are different kinds of good. Every experience and feeling is unique and it’s hard to say that one experience or feeling is objectively better than another.

Also I like your phrasing ‘happy to live’, it sounds like contendedness which I do believe is possible unlike permanent happiness. Have you heard of that infinite happiness machine thing btw?

Tbh I think if this genuinely happened and I just found out right now, I would just start walking and not stopping. I would think I’d be the most mindful and alert I have ever been in my life and I wouldn’t want to waste that. I also imagine I would also probably be extremely nice to everyone. Like someone’s walking in the rain or something and I’d just hand them the coat I was wearing for them to keep. It would look really weird lol but I think that’s the kind of hyper-selflessness that you’d just do without even a thought if you knew you were about to die.

Thanks for asking this question btw it’s very intriguing. It makes me wonder if it’s even remotely possible to live each day like it’s your last y’know.

Mhm, you might be right. But imo it’s nice to hear about any kind of progress even if it might end up not working because at the end of the day it’s one step closer to finding a cure and ofc that would be amazing.

Also sorry to hear you have Crohn’s btw. I don’t have it but ik someone who does and I know it’s a real pain for eating :(.

Mhm, I do this too! It really helps in finding answers to very specific questions

It absolutely is :). I’m just happy to think that this community may be able to help people who are suffering from this awful disorder. And thank you for thanking me!

I agree with you! Imo it would be amazing if people would use the fediverse (i.e. mastodon) for their twitter experience but sadly for whatever reason it hasn’t worked. A lot of people who went to mastodon went back to twitter (I think? I read that somehwere so not totally sure)

But yeah I read a BBC article today that quoted Zuckerberg on some of his goals for the platform. The keyword I remember is ‘friendly’. And I liked how he talked about his vision for the platform in general.

Ofc Zuckerberg isn’t a saint but imo he isn’t anywhere near as bad as that loud mouthed prick Elon so if my favourite celebrities move there instead I’ll be happy :)
