Hi fellow Lindsay, I hope you don’t mind me chiming in. I just started on an antidepressant, and I feel this. There are three main reasons I am taking one again, and one of them is the state of the world. I was struggling to function, sleep, feed myself. I’m taking this medication for me to survive, and it’s OK. Yeah, if we lived in a less shitty world I may not have to. But… we don’t. And I gotta sleep and eat. I don’t want to spend my one wild and precious life feeling like absolute shit when I can take a medication on a probably temporary basis to enjoy the good things that are here, too. It’s not about being a good soldier for capitalism, I feel like being OK is something I don’t want them to steal from me. Plus, if I can’t function, I can’t fight.
