Incident: Don’t Call Me Crazy

10/21/19

One of the most sensitive and difficult topics that hits home for me is mental illness and the importance of mental health. An observation that I have made overtime is that my generation is a lot more accepting and willing to admit they are having mental health issues and are struggling. Other generations such as my parents are not necessarily as understanding and less educated on this aspect of life. I have struggled for most of my life with anxiety, depression, and OCD but I have often been negatively impacted by the ignorance of others and comments that are made by people who may not even realize what they are saying is wrong.

For the most part, my parents have been very helpful in my journey of seeking help and getting treatment for these issues I was facing and still continue to battle every day. Although they may not understand all of my feelings or know how to handle my emotions, my mom and dad were always there for me and I knew I could go to them and express my needs or what was going wrong. Other people in my family however still seemed unwilling to learn or grasp the concept of what I struggle with. Not that I don't love them unconditionally, but I know that they are ignorant on the topic.

I went over my parents house today to visit, and my uncle was there visiting as well. I ended up expressing to them (my parents and my uncle) that I was feeling very anxious and gloomy. My uncle tells me to just get over it and stop thinking negatively. Obviously, if you are someone who struggles with mental illness, you know that you cant just shut it off. I began to explain to him that I can’t simply do what he was telling me to, but somewhere along the way it turned into an argument. I tried my best to stay calm and talk it out. I started applying my knowledge of what I have learned in my classes in order to turn this conversation around, and I wanted to get my point across to help him understand my illness. Although I was being respectful and no longer was raising my voice, my uncle told me to “Stop with the psychological bullshit.” This offended me, more than I expected it would. I felt hurt and put down, and in some way it made me feel as though he wasn't supportive of me or my career that I was going to be pursuing (mental health counseling). It sounded like he was putting down my struggles, and also psychology as a whole. I may have been taking it out of proportion in the heat of the moment, but I felt my feelings were still valid.

After his comment, a lump formed in my throat. I felt weak, angry, and frustrated. I ended up yelling again, unable to control it because of how sensitive this issue was for me. He then called me a spaz, and that's when I had to leave the room. This situation made me feel more misunderstood than ever. I was being called a spaz and looked at as crazy by someone simply because they were refusing to listen.

I know that this does not make my struggles any less important or my feelings any less valid. Mental illness is something that impacts 1 in 5 people, so it isn't anything to be ashamed of. Spread awareness and check on the people around you to see how they are doing. The more we talk about mental health and educate people, the less others will experience the same problem that I had to experience today.

[in fast undecipherable audio] You may experience one or all of the following:

Celexa Withdrawal Symptoms: List of Possibilities: (Bold is what I am / have experienced)

Below are a list of common symptoms that you may experience upon withdrawal from Celexa. Understand that you may experience a few of the symptoms, none of the symptoms, or most of the symptoms – it all depends on your individual circumstances. This list was created to help people so that they know what may occur during withdrawal.

Anxiety: The anxiety that you experience during withdrawal may be pretty severe. It may be so severe that you feel nervous everywhere you go and/or have panic attacks. This is a result of your brain being left without reuptake inhibition of serotonin.

Brain zaps: Most SSRIs can lead to a person experiencing “brain zaps” or electrical shock sensations upon withdrawal. These can be very uncomfortable and actually feel like your head is plugged into an electrical socket. Just know that these will subside the longer you are off the drug. (I feel it throughout my chest too. It’s like I want to physically twitch, but it’s all internal)

Concentration problems: Many people report that they are unable to focus during withdrawal. It may be difficult to complete work-related tasks or school work during withdrawal. In many cases the concentration problems are due to the fact that physical symptoms distract our mental focus. Additionally a person may feel mentally slow and/or foggy when they stop the medication – this is likely due to changes in levels of neurotransmitters.

Confusion: Your cognitive functioning can become impaired when you quit taking Celexa to the point of experiencing general confusion. This confusion may be a result of memory retrieval problems, but could also just be confused thinking.

Crying spells: Some people report increased depression to the point of crying spells. Low serotonin can cause people to cry excessively. You may cry more than you have in your entire life during a withdrawal. Know that these spells will lessen in severity and eventually stop.

Depression: Most people feel significantly worse when they stop taking Celexa in regards to depression. Many people feel as if their depression is actually worse than before they took this medication. This is a result of their brain no longer inhibiting the re-uptake of serotonin to the degree that occurred on the medication. It will take an extended period of time to fully recover from the withdrawal depression.

Diarrhea: Some people experience an upset stomach to the point of diarrhea during their withdrawal. This is not as common of a symptom as others, but can be difficult to deal with if you are dealing with this. An easy solution for coping with this is to get some over-the-counter Imodium.

Dizziness: Feeling dizzy is one of the most common symptoms to experience during SSRI withdrawal. If you suddenly stop taking Celexa cold turkey, the dizziness is thought to be longer lasting and more profound than during a gradual taper. Either way, you are likely going to experience some degree of dizziness when you quit. The longer you are off the drug, the more this symptom will improve.

Fatigue: You may feel excessively fatigued for awhile after you quit Celexa. It may be difficult to get out of bed in the morning or even make it through a work day. The tiredness and lethargy may be pretty severe. Just recognize that this will gradually improve and your energy levels will start to return over time.

Headaches: This is another classic symptom of SSRI withdrawal. Some people feel minor headaches for awhile, yet for others the headaches are pounding and feel more like migraines. Having a headache with dizziness is certainly uncomfortable – but both of these will gradually improve.

Insomnia: Since some people take Celexa for treating insomnia, it is no wonder that they may actually experience insomnia when they stop taking it. Additionally even if you have never had insomnia before taking this drug, you may experience it during withdrawal.

Irritability: Most people report a high amount of irritability in the first few weeks when they discontinue this drug. This is because the brain no longer is receiving the calming effect of the drug and it can be difficult to regulate emotions. (+crying spells = feeling like a maniac)

Memory problems: It is common to experience memory problems to the point that you think you have lost your memory. Although you haven’t likely lost any memory, your thinking may be impaired so that your memory retrieval is impaired. As you recover during withdrawal, this will eventually heal itself.

Mood swings: It’s very common to have bad mood swings when you stop taking Celexa. One minute you may feel pretty good, the next you may feel more depressed than ever. Just understand that these mood swings are all part of withdrawal. They may persist for a long time, but will eventually subside.

Nausea: Some people experience nausea when they first quit this drug. You may feel nauseated all day and in some cases, want to vomit. Most people do not have nausea extreme enough to lead to vomiting, but it can be a tough withdrawal symptom to deal with.

Sleep changes: It is very likely that your sleep cycle will be affected when you withdraw from this drug. You may notice that you have crazy dreams and/or that you aren’t able to get a good night’s sleep. You may sleep during the day and be unable to fall asleep at night. Just know that things will return to normal if given enough time.

Suicidal thoughts: It is very common to experience suicidal thoughts when discontinuing an antidepressant. Any SSRI that is withdrawn from is likely to lead a person to feeling suicidal. Many doctors view this as a worsening in depression, when in reality it is a result of antidepressants causing suicidality upon withdrawal.

Weight changes: Most people gain weight when they take Celexa – this is a result of serotonin changes. When a person stops taking this drug, they will likely drop the weight that they gained while taking the drug. For more information read about antidepressants and weight gain.

If I have any readers out there - Have you ever dealt with this? Can you offer any support or encouragement of what to expect or if you are in a similar situation? I’d love to receive support, as well as offer it :)
