No, in reality you're not totally messed up.
I have been on high doses of SSRI's 60mg of celexa. Getting off of them is hard. But you can survive, and find ways to feel good.
I think they can sometimes push your brain too much in one direction. It needs time to rebound and recharge.I blameded myself a lot when I stopped celexa, because when I started it again it didn't quite work the same way. But, in reality, I was just remembering the best times, and trying to assume that they "always were".
Thats what it is all about sometimes. Not really feeling good *all the time*, but having hope. Hope that there will be reward in choosing a particular path.
Our brain is wired to convince ourselves of our fantasies, it will give us just enough to convince us that the grass is truely greener on the other side of the hill. WHen it works properly, we will fight to get on the other side.
Paradoxically, after a little while, we will fight just as hard to get back to the original side.
It's really just a journey to find a spark to keep the fire going.
