So!
!!!
A little while ago I made a post about feeling apathetic and uninterested with weirdly low levels of empathy. I went to my psych and she told me that it could be because of the fluoxetine I'm taking (despite the fact that I'd been on it for years before without feeling like this, haha!).
Anyway, I'm off it now, and I have no idea if it's withdrawal or... something but WOW do I feel so much worse! I have absolutely no sense of self preservation left, my mood is just constantly cycling between bitterness and emptiness, my snark and sarcasm have turned into me just wanting to hurt the people around me. I am legitimately starting to feel less human and I'm getting urges to do something stupid like tear all my hair out or break
I just stopped caring about explaining this

What the **** do I do I'm so ****ing tired and I want to cry. I'm not even going to take any of your advice at this point. I wont even go to my psych cause she'll blame it on hormones since I'm a teenager and teenagers can never ACTuALLY be mentally ill, duh.
I wanna ****ing kill myself at this point

I'm sorry things are so bad. You really should tell your pysch though, there may be something she can do to help you. I sure hope things get better soon. Stay safe.

Coming off ssri's can cause deep depression, so i am not surprised your so down right now. Your psych should have put you on another to replace the fluoxetine. Talk to your Dr. about that.

Good luck

Yup. As CobolCapsule said, going off antidepressants can cause a worse feeling of depression, almost like a rebound effect.
