So, a while ago, I was in a hard period, which took a heavy toll on my mental health. So hard that I had to be put on antipsychotics. And I like it. I feel so calm, like I have achieved inner peace. Nothing stresses me out – no wars, no geopolitics, no exams, nothing. I can watch something horrid, and while I feel pain and pity for the victims, it's like my emotions are away from my body. I get no headaches, no panic attacks, no chest pains, nothing. And yet I can feel joy. Probably a bit weaker than before, but I think it's a fair price. Maybe one of the reasons I feel calm is because I am not in a conflict zone, and yet...even the thought of it hardly affects me. Or even if I feel a terrible emotional – like worrying that AI may take away the job I want, I just cried for a bit and after that it barely affected me. Is there a way I can feel this calm after stopping the medication?
