“In 2019 I took fluoxetine for social anxiety for just 5 days before stopping. ... within hours of my very first pill, I experienced the blank mind/cognitive dysfunction symptom. ... my thoughts completely stopped suddenly. ... over the course of about a year, I slowly recovered until my blank mind was completely gone. My thoughts became 100% automatic and easy to hear again and I went back to being able to feel joy properly again. This lasted for 3 entire years until ... extreme amount of stress. This somehow triggered my blank mind again along with anhedonia. ... [after shrooms] My mind was even more blank than before and anhedonia became significantly worse”
