Hi aHenchman,
Thank you for writing about your experience as a father.
If I can get to the point of being in that tolerable PFS/ PSSD state I will definitely be able to truly enjoy fatherhood again.
I will say that even in this dire state, I am able to read to the kids and cuddle them but I am constantly uncomfortable and feeling internal dread even during these moments.
I always prepare their school items, healthy and interesting meals. I take them to their clubs, I go swimming with them and take them to parks and so on.
Henchman. It’s incredible that you have recovered almost fully. Even as somebody who previously recovered from PFS, I find any sort of recovery almost unbelievable. I cannot believe I didn’t do my due diligence and Google “Amitriptyline” properly before taking it and subsequently ending up here again but in an even worse state than my original PFS.
