2025-10-20 21:01:19 +0000 UTCDifferent reactions to medication is such an interesting thing. I've been on an SSRI for coming up to a year and it works really well for me. I've also experimented with taking the pill for hormonal difficulties, which affect my anxiety levels. That really hasn't worked for me. Any artificial change in my hormones seems to set off anxiety spikes.

2025-10-02 16:13:28 +0000 UTCI am a self diagnosed woman of 56. As a child and teen I struggled significantly with anxiety and low mood and in my late 20s i was prescribed sertraline. I still remember the feeling of " oh thias is what i should feel like." The setraline gave me some peace in myself and i remember telling people i felt normal for the first time. I think it took away my anxiety around feeling different and lost mentally and emotionally. I developed a better view of myself because some of that anxiety fell away. I continue to take them 30 years later and will continue to. I still have anxiety and sometimes a significant depressive episode, but my abiltiy to self care, work through it and recover has greatly improved.

2025-09-26 20:36:03 +0000 UTCI can read the scrambled words as well as the non scrambled words, I'm not dyslexic but I suspect it has more to do with the way I read, and the fact the start and end letters are in the right place.

2025-09-08 15:55:46 +0000 UTCMeg! Your ability to tell your stories and tactful wording makes you the perfect person to discuss your adverse experience with SSRIs. I think it could be very cathartic for those of us who are also autistic that have had unexpected reactions to medication. I think youβd be able to tell your story without making people feel afraid to try for themselves! (Also secretly dying to hear your story since I think it might be similar to my own. So perhaps Iβm biased haha). Love ur videos

2025-09-02 20:12:29 +0000 UTCI'm sooo glad it works well for you! There are so many different options and everyone is different. And completely understandable regarding diagnosis π©π

2025-09-01 13:28:26 +0000 UTCThanks it was nice to watch and interesting. Am I the only one who can read the scrambled words without any difficulty? ( I am dyslexic, but I learned a lot of different ways to improve my reading, so I read quite well if I am not tired or if it is not on a screen. Can't read on a screen at all if it's not white text on black background.)

2025-08-31 10:42:49 +0000 UTCI'm glad I came across the video before you reacted to it. I was able to "catch" things I couldn't the first time, like that he mentioned more connections. (I did read about it somewhere else, trying to answer a self-deprecatory question. I understand your unwillingness to discourage people from SSRIs. I take one for my depression and it works well for me. (I suspect I'm autistic. Afraid to get diagnosed with the current regime though. I'm in the US.)

2025-08-31 03:50:46 +0000 UTCMe too! Also dyslexic, and for me I can read words that are jumbled pretty ok if the beginning and end are in order. However, I can not for the life of me spell properly- I can spell the same word three different ways in one email and not notice at all! I have had so many profs tell me that if I had just spell checked a paper I would have gotten an A, but they took off points for spelling. It always hurts a lot because I always spell checked multiple times with Word spell checking in school and STILL things got through the cracks! (Even this I had to read four times before I felt confident enough to send it!)

2025-08-30 19:49:51 +0000 UTCI have dyslexia, and it's actually funny how the bottom paragraph on that thing is what a lot of text looks like to me, especially at first glance I was like. OH. THAT IS WHAT WORDS LOOK LIKE. π
