I recently started trying to get on the Fang romance track. I missed one or two heart dialogues because I was married at the time! is it too late? I’ve been giving him gifts each day and we’re up to Good Friend but I haven’t had any heart dialogue options in a long time. Is it still possible to romance him if I missed those first couple of heart dialogues?
Over the last half year I’ve tapered off antidepressants I had been on for years (Wellbutrin and viibryd) because I thought I had stabilized, have grown in my emotional resiliency, and have tools from therapy that I thought could help me cope. I dealt with some withdrawal symptoms but those have largely resolved.
Now after all that ordeal of discontinuing them I am worried I feel the depression coming back. I feel emotional more often, which I expected and I am actually ok with. But also, days feel harder to get through. Things feel so heavy and everyday things feel hard to do. I am irritable and everything feels like a problem.
I don’t feel hopeless or worthless or any of the superlatives of depression at its worst. I’m trying to manage by taking care of myself. But I worry that ultimately I will need the medications again (they helped but I didn’t care for the side effects).
Are there any success stories out there of people prone to depression getting off meds for good?
I’m currently tapering off Wellbutrin and Viibryd. there is a specific head sensation that I don’t know how to describe. it’s like a slight pressure in the head and ears, makes me want to squeeze my eyes shut hard, sometimes accompanied by anxiety, lightheadedness, “pulsing “, and tinnitus. Is there a word for it? Or a better way to describe it? I’ve only ever felt it from antidepressant withdrawal.
