I’ve read a few of his but I want to focus on my favourite. I first read the stranger a few years back. I knew about absurdism before this but I feel like this really introduced me. The fact that the book has so much in it, but not a lot at the same time. Full of meaning but also complete emptiness, took me allot to realise that was the point of the whole book. Such a great read as I believe it is quite a simple read. However his way of thinking baffles me, although I’m slightly in awe of it. His utter inability to care for anything that is not in his control and also when they are in his control, still staying so calm. Highly recommend this book as an introduction to existentialism and absurdist views.

I remember getting out on various ones, mirtazipine didn’t sit right with me, made me worse and a complete paranoid freak. Venlaflaxine was okay, but quickly stopped working even at the highest dose. Sertraline worked better than the rest, but again quickly wore off for me and than I got sick of this experiment of drugs. Felt like I was constantly in different moods every hour. I only experienced increased mood by going to the gym. Although when I was doing gym on sertraline I did feel good.
