2nd Prozac Update - Feeling Poor

That sounds like a really rough week. The “brain feels fried” + hopeless + SI combo can be hard to get through. I can’t speak to what you should do with the 30 mg, but I will say this... when it feels like this, it’s worth slowing everything down and focusing on getting through the moment safely. Cleaning was a great distraction. Not because it fixes anything, but because it gives your brain somewhere to go for a bit. If the SI is loud, it might help to not be alone with it. Even just texting someone you trust or sitting near other people. You don’t have to carry that part by yourself. Glad you posted.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time MLew. Distraction is such an important tool that can help get through the rough times. And I know with myself that when things are clean and organized it makes me feel a lot calmer. It also helps to remind us that we can still be productive even though we're not feeling well. Would you be able to add the date you reinstated to your signature? That would be helpful...thank you! Please know we're here whenever you need to vent or reach out. Hang in there.... ❤️

These episodes are so rough, i experienced the fried brain part aswell and it can frightening, it was my main part leading to SI thoughts. Distraction helped me, somehow getting through this. Low activity (oxygen to the brain) with proteine drinks helped me too. But i know it‘s impossible to sugarcoat those episodes. Just know that got through them with time! And yes add the dates of your tapers and reinstation to you signature my friend ❤️🌼
