Wanted to share smth I found recently. I felt like it was pretty darn accurate. I’ll provide the link here but there’s a screenshot I took that I feel I can relate to quite heavily. https://pairedlife.com/love/infatuations
I’ve struggled with so many heavy infatuations before and a friend recommended this. Hope it helps anyone else out there who’s gone through this or may be going through this right now.

Being bipolar, this (+psychosis) happened to me on every antidepressant I tried. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do besides apologise and try to explain without it sounding like an excuse. It is an excuse though - if you were as out of control as I was it is definitely a valid excuse.
I’m sorry to hear that for you-My reaction revealed ADHD I was unaware of. I too experienced psychosis. I did not know that usually when anti depressants don’t work for you, it’s because on an underlying condition. I’m grateful for that clarity, but it’s been hard to reconcile the people who judged and also, obviously, acting out of control for a week.
For me it’s not just the medicine. I’ve treated people poorly while not on meds. That is hard to explain as well and people are tired and don’t want to hear it anymore.
I’m sorry you feel this way about yourself-it’s sounds to me like you may be too hard on yourself. Having gone through this experience too, I know that the side effects of meds can last for a longgg time (had brain zaps for months). Just because you aren’t on them doesn’t mean they’re not effecting you and the way you interact with people
Blaming it on the meds sounds like making excuses. I think it’s a valid excuse, but that’s probably their perspective. Own your role in it and apologize. You can only control your thoughts and actions, so leave it to them once you have owned your mistakes.
I did apologize about a month later when I finally weaned myself off that dosage-was just hopeful for a little more empathy, or at the very least a text back. I totally get how it looks though. I was only on that dosage for about a week but it was filled with constant panic attacks, crying, mood swings, etc. It’s been hard to cope with all of this, but especially having lost people.
