Hi everyone,
I don't know why I'm posting here, but perhaps I feel that you can all understand me. I posted before that I suffer from anxiety disorder, but this feeling is different. I've been weaning off SSRI medication for quite some time, and quit them a week ago. After a week, I started feeling these weird body sensations, tingling, out of body, chest pain, hot flush, dizzy. So had a word with the doctor and he said they are withdrawal symptoms of SSRI.
I am not scared of these symptoms, as I understand they are normal withdrawal, but I feel completely pissed off of my life for having to deal with all this crap. I might sound exxagerating, but seriously, I feel completely low. I'm 28, have to see a cardiologist every year, I got all these symptoms, my family don't understand me, I can't go out much cause I got 3 children... I used to be a strong person, but now, I just feel tired and weak! And fed up. I see a CBT counsellor every 15 days. I want to build a career, enjoy my family etc, but just feel I got an awful, terrible disease that is holding me from doing anything, that one day I need heart op, and I just can't, can't relax. I Dont want to die young, just wanna be a dad, a husband, a strong man, and keep grow the child inside me to do fun stuff.
