my favorite side effect warning is for antidepressants

pros: you won’t want to kill yourself

cons: you might want to kill yourself

Back when I was in a psychiatric hospital, and was offered antidepressants, my mother had declined them due to that apparent side effect. So the staff actually explained about this effect antidepressants have, that give reason to that warning.
When first taking antidepressants they raise up your energy first. So that you have the energy to do the tasks you might have avoided doing due to your depression.
Because of this those who were already suicidal, now have the energy to go do so. Which is the ones this warning is given for.
It’s not that a side effect of antidepressants magically makes you want to kill yourself, it’s the energy it gives those who were already struggling with suicidal issues, to actually attempt the act.

Very informative…

Wow. I’m so glad you explained that. Now I understand

My high school choir/psych teacher actually told is about this. She also said if you have a suicidal friend who starts seeming like they might be getting better because they have more energy, that’s the time to be cautious because that’s when they may still be suicidal but they’ll actually have the energy to go through with it

THIS. a thousand times THIS. I had it explained to me in my AP psychology class in high school. super fucking important.

There is a BIG difference between a Christian guy, and a Man of God..

jondenden:

A Christian guy might say he loves you, but a Man of God will love God more than you.

A Christian guy might text you Bible verses, or have a tattoo of them, but a Man of God will live out those verses and have them written on his heart.

A Christian guy might go to church, but a Man of God will see that his highest calling is to give Christ glory.

A Christian guy might “accidentally” compromise your virtue, but a Man of God will protect it above all else.

A Christian guy might be super attractive, but a Man of God will have a beautiful heart, regardless of his looks.

A Christian guy might take you out, but a Man of God will hold you up before God in his prayers.

So don’t settle for just a Christian guy. And long to be the kind of woman of God who will attract a man like that.
