SSRI withdrawal day 2 and 3

 DAY 2.
               OMG WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Why have I done this to myself? I opened hell's door today, dizzy, brain zaps every time I blink or move my head. I've had diarrhea aalllllll day, nauseated, and the worst of all, I feel like I'm not real. I feel like I've gone insane, I can't think straight at all and I'm out of wine :(
            I know there is reasons for going through this, but it's gonna suck so bad.
         It actually feels like the way it feels if you smoke too much weed or hash and you get too high, you cant think and you freak out, you know you aren't going to die cause it's weed and it non toxic, but it's really freaky and scary and uncomfortable. I've never tried any other drugs, but I would say, based on personal experience, that's pretty close to what I feel like right now, except I feel like that ALL. DAMN. DAY.
              I'm miserable, I wish I could take my skin off, I'm itchy, I hate life. I'm just gonna go to bed early and hope I can sleep this off.



  DAY 3.
                Today was much better than yesterday, still awful, but better. I slept in until 2pm and went for a long walk in the woods by myself. I'm lucky that I work from home, so I can take time off to do this. I wouldn't suggest going through this while working and maintaining a social life. I'm finding being Alone to be really helpful and I think getting some exercise really made the day a lot easier.
                   I'm still having really bad brain zaps whenever I blink or move my head, I'm dizzy and my head feels waterlogged, like when you've been swimming in big waves in the ocean for a long time. My head and jaw hurt non stop for no apparent reason, and I'm exhausted no matter how much sleep I get.
                  I got some wine today and drank the whole bottle over the course of the evening(about 5 hours) and it really helped a lot, like A LOT. I really feel like whatever goes on in a person's brain when quitting antidepressants, alcohol seems to alleviate the symptoms enough to make it manageable.
                   It's still yucky right now and I really wish I didn't have to feel like this, and I know I've got a long month ahead of me, I just keep thinking that if I stick with it, I can get back to being myself again. I'm tired of feeling tired and fat and blah all the time, I can't wait to be me again.
                 
                I'm gonna update every day, but only post every 2-3 days for the duration of this process. The fact that I'm even managing to focus long enough to write is crazy. But then again, I'm crazy so...

Crochet pussy hat

Wow, I can't believe I've managed to get anything done in the last few days. After experiencing a major depressive meltdown, panic attacks and developing a cold, I've been pretty much out of comish. But I somehow managed to create an extremely simple pattern for a pussy hat. So far I've had one order for plain pink, two for pink and red, one for black and grey and one pure black. I'm still not functioning quite yet, and I'm drinking too much. Being crazy is hard when you're still sane enough to know you're crazy. I honestly can't believe I survived this as a child, it's a living hell. I'm very lucky to have my hilarious family and husband. Yeah somebody actually married this crazy bitch. I wouldn't get through this without vulgar humour constantly being thrown at me. So this is one thing I still managed to do, and like all my patterns, it's deceptively simple. Pattern You will need 8mm crochet hook ...

Crochet Chunky Men's Hat

About a month ago I made myself and my husband matching hats, I got some new Bernat Chunky yarn and wanted to play with it because I'm a giant dork. So hats it was, we needed some anyways. It doesn't get as cold here as most of the rest of Canada, maybe -8 c at the absolute lowest and only at night, still nice to have winter hats though. Well my husband(Ryan) is obsessed with his, he never takes it off. It's already worn down and looks a million years old because he wears it at work all day. But in all fairness, he looks a million years old to so..... The originals  Today Ryan came home and said his boss has been bugging him for a hat like his, and since I'm FUCKING AMAZING I obliged. I wanted to return some of the blue softee chunky yarn I had bought the day before anyways because it turns out I hate it, oops. So I went and exchanged it for grey(the only good mens colour they had) and got straight to work. I absolutely love this hat, it only takes abou...

Mental illness makes everything harder

    Ryan is gone. Well, only for two weeks but I've never been away from him for that long, and he's so far away. I know it sounds silly and dramatic but I feel like my heart is broken right now. I can't help how I feel and I'd much rather not feel this way, but it just came on suddenly and I'm having to deal with it. It feels just like heartbreak, I can't stop crying or vomiting, I'm Just in a ball on the floor. I feel like I'm dying, it's very uncomfortable and awful feeling.      I chose to stay with my mom while he's gone, but now I just want to go home. I want him to turn around and come take me home and stay with me. I don't know why I feel like this, I'm aware that it's irrational but I still feel it. Oh the joys of mental illness, it makes everything so much harder. I know a normal person would be a bit sad, but they wouldn't feel this level of raw emotion over something so small. I wish I could sleep, I'm so tired. ...
