Welcome, Astrid. You have an excellent understanding of antidepressant withdrawal. You will be feeling better and better as time goes by.
Is there anything that you do that helps you with the symptoms? Exercise, supplements, meditation, etc? You mentioned watching movies, which is an perfect thing to do. I hope they are uplifting movies, because we are more sensitive in w/d.
Now, I do not know anything about the situation with your 15-year best friend, but I just want to mention one thing. Sometimes, people taking these medications, or going through withdrawal from them go through a period of doubting their relationships. They may feel apathy for someone they used to like. Then, when they get off the med or heal more from withdrawal, their feelings about the relationship change again.
Let us know how we can support you. And please share *your* knowledge with us.
