The first few days I felt normal, then I started having passive suicidal ideations - I wished it would be better if I had died - but I didn't actually want to commit or do anything that would result in that had it been too painful. This went away as fast as it came, and I started feeling less anxious in situations where I had previously felt anxiety: I spoke up more where I had kept quiet, I dealt with people better, knew when to discount other people's opinions of me.
This kept up until the past week or so, when I started feeling suicidal. This time it's different from the time in the beginning. In particular, I notice my will to actually commit being stronger and my lack of regard for my family members is much more to the point where I'm considering breaking off w/ my SO amicably but not revealing it to them - I don't want to have to tell them that my liking them is countervailed by my desire to commit suicide.
I think the suicidal thoughts are countervailed by the benefits the drug brings me, I don't want to have to go back to the way I was before, so I likely will be continuing the drug until the foreseeable end.
Note: Yes, the drug was prescribed to me. Yes my psychiatrist knew about my having passive suicidal ideations in the beginning. Yes they told me it was OK to continue the drug.
