    30mg of Prozac every morning and my opinion on life still hasn’t changed - it’s like watching a shit movie in a crowded theater and you really just want to leave, but you also don’t want to disturb those around you on your way out.

    The meds definitely help, though. Instead of being in the deep end of the depression pool and sinking, now it’s more like standing waist deep in the shallow end. Firm footing, but there’s only so much you can do about fucked up brain chemistry.

      Yeah, I’ve sadly heard similar stories most of my life. For many people it makes things better, but it can also make things “boring”. They don’t get the severe down periods, but it can also make it difficult to experience the highs of enjoyment.
