    OK, what’s the alternative that has supportive clinic data? Will my job tolerate me stopping SSRI, then calling out of work 3 or 4 times a week because I’d rather think about killing myself and others, can’t sleep because of anxiety, or can’t drive because I have panic attacks? Because that was my life before SSRI, when I was still young enough to lean on family while figuring out medication. My family is old now and cannot support another adult with untreated mental illness, they’ve got 2 already who don’t work and won’t take meds to treat their shit.

      My guess is that the Nazis put your mental healthcare challenges on you and figure if you cannot function you’re not one they plan on enslaving.

      Fuck these Nazis

        The Nazis forget that the meds suppress destructive impulses like setting fires, buying guns, and biting pieces off people trying to hold me down. I’ve already had my time in solitary lockdown at 13, adult me is far less compliant.

          It doesn’t concern them because historically, people shoot up schools and not the homes of politicians
