I ran out of fluoxetine a couple of months back and decided to see how I was without it. It might be 3 months now that I've been without. I was irritable for the first few days but otherwise I've been ok. However my ability to cope with things like eating with my mum have become next to impossible. I've come to the conclusion I just can't do it. I can't bring myself to be in the same room if she's eating. I feel dreadfully guilty for saying that. Today we are going there to cook dinner for her and I know I won't be able to sit with her and my dc and there'll be comments. Has anyone any experience of SSRIs helping them to mask I suppose? It was bad before but I could do it. I got covid last month and after weeks of no interaction with the outside world I'm finding the outside works more difficult. Plus I still feel unwell. I don't want to go back on the medication just so I can eat with my mum. If she came here that would be better for me. I just want to cry as I feel so mean.
