Unlike last Monday, I didn't have intrusive thoughts telling me to chop my finger off to get time off work, so that's a bonus. Turns out going two days without SSRIs will do that to you, thus instilling the fear of god into me as to what will happen if I ever need to wean myself off them.
On the downside, I still have to work. I talked to my boss and I might be able to negotiate keeping a single earphone while I work to shoo away the intrusive thoughts. If I don't get a weighted blanket for [Capitalist winter solstice Holiday], I'm doing overtime til I can afford it.
Great to hear you're doing better, comrade! In my experience, it's possible to wean off SSRIs provided you're ready for it and you do it very gradually.
