I had been depressed so long I didn't even really know what I used to enjoy. Like it says "it may take 6-8 weeks for whatever you used to like to do." Something like that. Anyways, it's been 2 weeks on 40 mg of Prozac and I'm starting to feel more interested in doing something. But the past couple days it was still like I was staring at a wall and "sitting and thinking" or "sitting and staring" as some psychiatrists talk about bipolar depression. So I forced myself to read a book and I started reading it and I was like "Oh yeah, I used to love reading." Then I played pokemon and I was like "Oh yeah, I used to love playing pokemon." I had depression where I couldn't even watch TV because I couldn't focus on the television and it was over stimulating. I did nothing at all. So now I'm realizing that there are things that I DO enjoy doing. It's like I have to force myself to do enjoyable things and now with the prozac starting to work I'm like "wow oh yeah I used to have enjoyable activites." Anyone else been there? Done that?
