When I'm sober I'm so painfully awkward but when I have a few drinks I'm casually hilarious and I'm annoyed this isn't the real me 🙄

this is how i felt now i’m on an SSRI for anxiety (and depression tbh and potentially ocd since sertraline treats that) and i’m so much more social now!!!

That would explain the aggressive shaking when I'm around people I don't know huh

And slight changes of facial expressions or if a pause is just a second too long after I say something 😅 my watch says my HR spikes to like 160

It sucks because I wanna feel this way sober, confident and funny, but I don't wanna take meds to do that. I've been on meds before for depression and I was a shell :( I'm doomed to only feel myself when I'm like not myself lmfao
