Looking for experiences for people who’ve dated on and off antidepressants.
So I met my ex whilst not on antidepressants and it was very consuming, the feelings I mean. Was enamoured, he was the best thing ever, I was literally consumed. Started taking them mid relationship and we split a while ago.
Met someone a month ago and I’m trying to work out if the difference is the person or sertraline.
For instance, not consumed with needing to hear from him every second. In fact in general I forgot to reply to messages from friends since starting sertraline. I just don’t feel the need to constantly be in contact with people. Quite happy on my own!
I love spending time with him, but I don’t feel the same desperation as I did before. It’s like it’s more balanced and healthy. But again, I’m trying to work out if it’s that he’s more suited to me or if I’m just not fecking crazy anymore.
Anyone else been able to tell the difference when starting new relationships? I definitely feel a great deal of affection for him, possibly early form of love. Sex life is great, but i don’t feel like my heart is exploding out of my chest. I’m just happy without that LOVE ME OR ILL EXPLODE feeling.
