Today I was in my bathroom in front of the mirror. I have taken a look at my face and I have seen how medicated I look, with my glassy eyes. I have also noticed my movements are a bit slowly and not so natural or spontaneous. It has always been this way since I’m on meds, but I had never stopped to take a look of these details before and I feel sad about it. Honestly that’s dificult to appreciate on my pictures, because I try to smile and look happy and as normal as I can.
I look “medicated” also.
There is very little life behind my eyes.
Yeah, bloated and lifeless.
Yup, medicated, thousand yard stare, sometimes only half paying attention to the outside world.
Fiancée and mother can tell just from looking at me when I’m not having a good time
I’m 10x slower physically.
That’s the reason why it’s so dificult for me to hide my mental illness.
You don’t look medicated in your profile pic, you look thoughtful. That’s a good thing.
Thank you @shutterbug
I was constantly asked at my last job if I was high (which wasn’t a question asked out of nowhere, to be fair; we legit had people show up to work high). I always answered that I was, in fact, high… on life.
I agree that you don’t look as you describe in your profile picture.
I understand about the spontaneous movement. Mines gone aswell.
It’s really sucky
