i did for a while but they eventually removed anxiety to such a degree that even "If i dont do this thing right now i will suffer heavy consequences" was not a good enough reasn to do stuff anymore

i worry that I'll get to that stage. although, my meds are losing effect on me for now.

what did you do after the fear no longer motivated?

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

basically had to stop using the meds and learn to manage anxiety to acceptable levels with therapy and other means. Not a perfect solution but better than the alternative.

True. I'm trying to work on that. moving slowly...

thanks for your experience.
