So I've decided to ditch my antidepressants. Starting today I'll be slowly weaning myself off of them.
I've realized that I tend to see the good in a lot of people. In a way I'm an idealist. So naturally I assumed that there were some good intentions behind ADs. But after doing more digging I've realized it's just about the money. And I didn't want to accept that. Even though these drugs can help people I've come to realize that it's more of a desperate attempt to solve something than a concrete answer. I had a hard time accepting that someone could be so greedy and forgo the well-being of millions of people on a drug who's long term effects is largely unknown.
On top of that I have been getting increasingly numb to my feelings and I don't like it. So I'm listening to my own body and following my own gut instinct.
In a way I am glad that I at least tried these things because now I know what they feel like and that I wasn't missing out on much. It has also taught me to trust my own instincts instead of the opinions of authority figures.
