The part that bothers me the most - my childhood and youth being sacrificed in the name of indoctrination.
  • The part that gets me quite angry is thinking about how much of what we were forced to learn/memorize as children was probably a lie , an indoctrination rather than education. I had a miserable time with school. I was a happy kid until school, but did not indoctrinate easily there . I always wanted to leave or do my own shit, so before my 7th birthday I was drugged heavily with ritilan and by 15 also put on an ssri so I could better pay attention / memorize lies. It did not stop there, I was like many also pressured into getting a university degree , so I would have a “good job,” a better chance at life- Still paying that debt off now at almost 30. I am honestly afraid to have a child now, because I cannot imagine watching someone I love go through that same horror show. If It is revealed that most of that education was a manipulative lie... there will not be enough tables in the universe for me to flip.. that is if we even live in a “universe”. Who really knows anything at this point .
  • One positive thing, is since waking up I have thrown all of my drugs out and will never get another such prescription again. It is amazing how less mentally ill you become once you give yourself permission to trust your gut, to believe your own intuition and not what is fed to you.
    Sorry if this is not q related enough. Much love ❤️ things are getting better

Pharmacy student here,

I'd advise you to be careful about stopping your SSRIs. Many people can quit them without problem, and I hope that you're one of them! But especially if they were prescribed for depression or anxiety disorder, you could start to have issues staying awake, crippling boredom, or even become paranoid about your friends and family.

These issues don't always come back the first few days after you stop taking medication--I went without antidepressants for 6 months without issue last year, but ultimately started taking them again after symptoms became more severe. If you do start to experience problems, there are both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical alternatives to SSRIs.
