Realization
Hey guys! My third post in here. I’ve talked about how much this drug has genuinely changed my life for the better (so much so people thought I was manic. I’m not. 😭)
But yesterday I had my second breakdown and panic attack since taking lexapro (and bad thoughts for a bit of the day unfortunately if you know what I mean) BUT I wanna say, usually when that would happen pre lexapro, it would send me into a deep depression for SO long. I would take those thoughts and make it into something so huge because that’s just how my brain is wired.
Something I realized though, is after I kind of collected myself I now choose HEALTHIER ways to cope. For example, the first time it was happening I ran to my mom and poured everything out. Which is something I’ve never done before. I can’t be vulnerable for the life of me and usually hold everything in. But that time I didn’t!! After we talked I was so much better and woke up the next day like nothing happened. Still so happy and free.
This second time it happened, I communicated my problems to the person the situation rooted from and again, I’m fine!
So that’s kinda cool to recognize that now on lexapro those overwhelming and detrimental emotions can be fixed in a healthier way like normal people! I just get it out, let it pass and move on😊
Hope that all made sense!
