Hello, I’m new to this and really wanted to share with someone what I’ve been going through and maybe help me figure out if this is common. My father passed away a little over a year ago and since months before his passing I lost interest in most things. After he passed I felt worse than before not only did I loose interest but also felt sad but at the same time numb , tired and not really wanting to be here anymore . Not suicidal thoughts or intentions then or now. So I started going to therapy which helped but then I started feeling exhausted and tired most of the time, not really wanting to socialize and pretty much feeling hopeless so I recently went to the a psychiatrist and he prescribed me lexapro. I’m too scared to start taking it , specially when I’m on a good day but today I had a bad day again I feel tired and not really wanting to spend time with anyone. I’m supposed to go on a trip in a week and I’m also scared to have bad side effects from lexapro, wondering if it’s a good idea to maybe just wait till I come back. Also was wondering if its common to have good and then bad days. Thanks for reading❤️
