SSRI discontinuation made my life hell
Basically what the title says.
I am diagnosed autistic, to preface.
I had to quit my meds cold turkey (been months now), and since then, every symptom I have (and thought I was no longer as visible about) has been amplified by thousands.
I can only look people in their general direction, feel like puking or screaming when things take longer/shorter than scheduled, every smell makes me gag and every sound hurts. I can’t physically separate sounds in crowds, they attack me all at once. I keep butting into the conversation at the wrong time. People keep asking me if I am okay, that I look visibly distressed. I need to isolate myself to calm down.
What hurts the most was how I butchered a job interview. I was qualified, and yet I presented my work horribly, couldn’t look any interviewers in the eye. They basically dismissed me on the spot.
This post might sound pointless, but I am genuinely worried about my employment potential. I feel useless, overwhelmed, tired and sick. I wont be able to get my meds for a few more months.
Does anyone have any advice, or has went through a similar situation?
