how are you when you're medicated?

I've been on medication for a little over a month now (I'm taking fluoxetine, 20mg per day), and so far I noticed mostly positive effects.

I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder with obsessive compulsive tendencies, but also adhd in observation and under suspicion of several personality disorders.

before starting meds I remember I was extremely driven by my feelings and everything I did depended on how I felt, like I had no control of myself and my actions because EVERYTHING I did was due to my anxiety. now that I'm medicated it feels like my brain has finally started working and I'm finally able to experience coherent thoughts without having an anxiety attack once a day.

my general personality quirks haven't changed much, though. I'm still very strategic and "always ready for everything", but now it's my brain that's in charge and not my feelings. I'm also less obsessed with certain possible outcomes and have a more steady and grounded approach, like "if it happens, it happens, I'll think about it then. I'm confident enough to know I can handle any situation that comes my way."

I never knew I could be so much in control of my mind and it feels so freeing to know that I am NOT my anxiety, that there's an actual person inside my head and not just a ticking bomb waiting to explode.

my meds have offered me some clarity over my desires and thought processes, although I'm still not 100% calm and collected due to my untreated adhd and possible personality disorders.
