I have triggered a condition known as PSSD by taking antidepressants. It stands for Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction.
The symptoms include Anhedonia (loss of all emotions / dopaminergic activity) as well as pleasureless orgasms & loss of libido.
This condition has also fucked with my hormonal profile.
Many people think it's not a big deal, while others say they would've ended it already if they were me. It's been 4 years.
I've tried mostly everything, there's no known cure to this condition and it has caused suicides.
I hate my life, no one is taking this seriously because it's a rare poorly researched issue.
I have talked to many therapists & seen a number of doctors. One told me they'd rather have cancer than be in my situation. Otherwise,
No one knows what to tell me.
I'm so exhausted, I don't know why I'm still here. This is inhuman. I feel as if I was stuck in a prison.
I can't help but replay the good careless moments of my childhood in my head, I envy that kid.
Life feels so empty, I keep dreaming about getting into a car accident or something like that. I wish life would end. Please.
