free lucid dreams baybee. i have always had crazy vivid dreams but these are no joke. this sits in the weird space between a rec and an anti-rec.

That is so crazy because I usually have awful terrible horrible nightmares most nights, but they have gone down since starting lexapro (mostly because I have a harder time sleeping)

ugliestbinch i’m also on hydroxyzine bc i have such trouble sleeping and staying asleep, so im sure that’s exacerbating it a bit. but i have seen so many cases of this involving lexapro specifically so crazy dream cocktail i guess.

Inspiration to get on the antidepressants I already need. I take a kind of guilty pleasure in strange and scary dreams and hallucinations because I can act like some kind of haunted intuitive horror movie protagonist when I tell my friends about it

eatgraeps i don’t feel as sick for enjoying them a little now… i was on reddit to see if it was normal (i used to be on prozac and had never experienced this) and everyones like LEXAPRO DREAMS ARE SO BAD IM SCARED. they def can get intense and i can’t speak to others experiences but im having like 4 dreams a night where i solve the mystery of the day or i learn something so it’s def been an interesting time. but also good luck on your ssri journey! everyones situation varies so they are understandably polarizing but hopefully you can find a plan that works for you

I started taking lexapro recently, so my dreams have been absolutely wild. A month ago I had a dream where I was with Nathan Fillion and we skydived into a jungle, and he was so injured that he had to be kept alive with these Cronenbergian plastic organs in place of his body

they’re like normal dreams but worse

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one. a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment. b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions. c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people! i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
