So this might sound weird as it’s not something I have heard many people say.

One thing I notice when I stop SSRIs is that I start reaching out to people around me because I feel the need for actual human connection and support. When Im on SSRIs I prefer to shut myself out and process both good and bad experiences by myself because I don’t feel the need for that support.

I think it’s both a good thing and a bad thing - good because Im able to survive on my own even when others may not be available. Bad because it weakens my relationship and bonding with those in my life. Maybe the solution is to consciously reach out to people and get over this overwhelming need to shut myself in a room? Anyone else feel this?
