Link,
This makes TOTAL sense to me!
What I am wondering is how does my husband have all of the energy/motivation that he DOES have, to do so many OTHER things? .. IF, in fact, his meds ARE causing him to be indifferent, etc?
This is probably not 100% accurate, but it appears to me that he has the "mmmph" to do many things that would be considered "hobbies". (and of course the "mmmph" to get up to the bar, drink and socialize with his "bar friends"!) Husbands hobbies can be/are quite taxing on energy levels also. Just makes me wonder .. ?
"For many people who take these drugs, this new state of indifference is more comfortable than where they were. It is not "recovery" by any strech of the imagination, it is just a more comfortable place, so they go along with it."
So .. maybe in my husband's situation, the hobbies (and such) were not/are not a source of anxiety .. so he is able to STILL do all of these things without a problem .. ? (Maybe I'm understanding this wrong. I'm just trying to make sense of my husbands situation.)
