Mental Health 3w
My mental health has declined so rapidly since I went off my antidepressants, and I’m trying to be honest with my psychiatrist but I have that evil voice in my head that makes me want to keep my suicidal thoughts a secret so no one can take them away

(Not a literal voice, to be clear. Just that impulse to hide how ill I am because then my final resort could be taken from me. I don’t want to go back on antidepressants even though I know I probably should, but I’m tired of feeling numb and just pretending I’m not horrifically depressed and disillusioned with life)

The right antidepressant shouldn’t make you feel numb so maybe you need to try a couple before you find one that works

Numb as in they numb the negative emotions. They aren’t truly gone, just surface-levelly quelled by the meds

And I have been trying for almost 8 years, this isn’t something I’m new to
