>>551915What's the backstory? Is she sick or old? Did your mom get her recently? You've probably already tried this but my instinct would be to sit in the room with her and talk to her in a soothing voice and try to get her to approach me while putting out yogurt or tuna in a position that she has to poke her head out a little bit and gradually increase the space between the washer and the food until she comes out enough that you can grab her. If it were me, I would move the washer and yank her out asap. I think if you leave her for a week she's just going to get more and more distressed.

What do you do if a friend, a good person you still want to talk to, troons out? I'm pretty sure they're trans'ing because they're insecure about being more feminine than the avg guy.
They posted this
https://turn-me-into-a-girl.com/ and that's when I thought "Man, idk why but I have a weird feeling about all this". I know the site's message is naive/nonsensical af, but this is the straw that broke the camel's back, and now i don't know what to do. The group of friends I'm in is extremely "trans rights", and I also don't want to hurt my good friend's feelings; is there a way/any reason to tell him I think he might not want to transition?

I visited a friend's house before and I always remove my shoes when entering. I regretted it instantly, grains of dirt stuck to my feet and there was visible mud streaks. These people mopped 2x a week but it didn't mean anything since they had an open back door and let dogs run around inside and out while the family walked around with dirty ass shoes on. They even lifted them onto the table and armrest, where you may put your head.
Worst thing is those who enter their bed with shoes on. Or people who put their dirty ass suitcase onto a bed. Some people "clean" all the time but there's no point when they live like gremlins.

any fellow nearsighted-chans have experience in getting affordable contact lenses without insurance? I'm like very new and dumb to this lifestyle lol. I only started wearing glasses a year ago after a life of perfect vision and while I scored with cute frames I honestly really miss my bare face without them and want to be able to switch between both options. but by the time quar is over I'll have aged out of my family plan and I haven't researched a new plan nor am i really going to be able to afford my own insurance anytime soon. was supposed to eventually go to my optometrist for a fitting before the world stopped. I feel like as long as I know my prescription I should be fine but i know next to nothing abt contact fittings. I also know wearing contacts can be more uncomfortable than wearing glasses. are there any good brands you know of or any lenses that are sketchy that I should stay away from?

No. 553435
>>553400Honestly anon, you should go to an optometrist and do the test for contact lenses. it's important that they fit well or it could damage your eyes further. i have a slight astigmatism in one eye and normal contact lenses (drugstore-ones, fairly cheap but not bad quality) don't really fit perfectly and they end up hurting my eyes.
if you wanna wear contact lenses, do it the safe way. and for me they aren't expensive (but i live in switzerland, idk how it is where you live). for 6 months i pay around 80-100 dollars so that's super fair.

I once had an online boyfriend when I was around 10 on Habbo, my sister somehow found out and I ended up fully sobbing and crying, begging her not to tell our parents. Lol.
Funny thing is: After my brother was born, they never said anything like that to him and even went as far as ENCOURAGING him to get a girlfriend. I hate men and their privilege so much.
I was also never allowed to visit my friends' houses and have a sleepover, even if they knew the kids parents and talked to them before. They weren't allowed to visit me either and there was a time in middle school where people would make fun of me for being "homeless" over that aka no one's ever been to my house before and I always wore the same clothes out of insecurity = anon is homeless.

Heidi is doing fine, she sometimes vents on twitter about how Jared gave her trust issues but she is working on it, while Holly said numerous manipulative and stupid things throughout this year and definitely doesn't feel guilty or anything. Lately she looked especially greasy and sad, Jared started liking selfies of other girls and interacting with them while still ignoring Holly, and this is the face she made when Heidi notification appeared on her AC stream.
Basically, we laugh because she got what she wanted - Jared, who is a manipulative jerk with porn addiction. And while getting what she wants she destroyed both his marriage and her own. Both Heidi - Jared's ex, and Ross - her ex are moving on and are happy.

>>553522So that makes sense why she has only female 'besties' IRL with whom she never hangs out (but came to all of them to give her a job after she got kicked out) while talking only to men on internet… Honestly I considered this part really sus ever since the beginning, because it seemed to me that the way she spregged about her besties was both middle-school level and both seemed like she just uses them because they've been friends for awhile.
And yes, I spoke my opinion that I would always prefer being progressive (if i had a choice, I said that I don't care about such stuff that much, never thought of it so deeply that I would be calling myself trad or not) over being traditional, explaining that I was born in a country that (still) has a huge patriarchy and traditional propaganda.
It honestly made me feel really sad for her ever since she said such words. When I started saying that I will always support women over men, said that I believe that women are even better than men because of the way we were raised, she started spregging that 'not all men'.
I sound like ''feminazi'' here, but I meant that women are calmer than men and are better at handeling situations, and most of the time they are not the 'woman-child' of relationships.
Ever since she somehow started trying to throw dramas on me whenever I would come over (she is, unfortunatley, a sister of my significant other), even though I've seen it coming because ever since the first day we met she was showing jealousy traits, you know, these kinds of stares and creepy compliments that involve her degrading herself. Ever since the second I met her, it was written that she is really insecure all over her face.
I feel bad, thinking I did something wrong but I never tried picking fights with her or anything. It bums me out how she also is trying to ignore the existence of mine and her big brothers relationship. I really want to talk to her about it, but whenever I try she literally runs out of the room like a child.
It seems like its really hard to…Befriend women IRL… I never said anything mean to her.

>>553919>I haven't talked about it much with anyone because I feel like people will think I'm lying/exaggerating.Seek a trauma-informed therapist if that's the case. They're literally trained to help clients overcome childhood abuse, and they won't accuse you of lying. Avoid psychologists and psychiatrists, as they tend to be more focused on diagnosing you and treating you with medication. Not that they'd necessarily accuse you of lying either, but if you're more focused on healing from abuse, rather than treating individual symptoms (such as depression/anxiety) that you struggle with as a result of the abuse, therapy is a better bet.
You can use websites like psychology today to find therapists in your area that specialize in childhood trauma. Use the filters on the left to narrow down specifically what you struggle with, and it will pull up specialists that are trained to tackle those issues.

>>554124Before considering consuming it I'd want there to be a few peer-reviewed studies on its impacts on the environment.
If it has a significantly lower carbon footprint than "normal" meat (be it industrial or organic) then I would be totally for it being more widely available. However if a diet that includes it has a bigger carbon footprint than a local vegan diet, then I would say it defeats the purpose a bit.
From a more personnal point of view, I don't think I'd eat it because I'd be too afraid it will make cravings worse. Same reason I won't eat eggs even if they're from someone's backyard: it was difficult to stop even if I didn't go cold turkey, I think refreshing my memory of tasty animal products will make it harder to stay vegan.
However some people argue that having an ethical lab grown meat will make it easier for people to stay vegetarian/vegan because they won't need to eat real stuff when they get cravings. It's all theory tho, as far as I know there's been no studies on animal product substitutes and whether they help transitioning diets or make it more difficult.
On the ethical side idk. From a purely utilitarian pov, sure a few animals are killed to get the cells but how many animals are not uselessly brought into the world and then killed as a result? It sucks that it would still support the killing of animals for a profit but at this point it would be the least terrible option.

>>554162Depends, if your professor has proctorio or any other proctoring software then your screen is going to be recorded at the very least. Your professor may also enable your webcam so that the software can record you and your microphone.
If you do plan to cheat (unless it's open note) hopefully your professor only has the screen recording available so you can look at your textbook. Otherwise you're kind of out of luck.
The softwares all have some sort algorithm that tracks your time on questions, I'm not sure how it really works but it does give your professor red flags that you may be cheating and they can review it.

I did find about 1/3 of them to be quite tall (maybe 6ft, usually accompanied by an equally tall gf), the rest were probably short by Western standards (maybe 5'5-5'7). Rarely in between lol. Didn't see anyone fat but also not really muscular either.
For reference, I lived around Sinchon/Hongdae so I was surrounded by a lot of trendy young people, and I think it totally depends on the area/social class/etc, like any other country. Sorry for the overly detailed answer, I just miss Korea.

So I've been losing weight these past couple of weeks, but last week and this week I've only managed to lose one pound. What am I doing wrong?
I keep a food diary and try not to go over 1500 and sometimes even eat less than that. I've stayed away from junk food completely.
I also lift weights so maybe that might have something to do with it? Maybe I need to exercise more often?

Companies save beaucoup money this way, and they don't have to offer those contractors benefits or nothin.
If a company really likes someone they can "buy out" their contract from the recruitment agency but there's really no incentive to do so most the time. Usually only happens when they know their employees will be leaving or transferring so they'll be short staffed otherwise.

>>554746Firstly, what is this mythical female-targeted hentai series you mentioned?
Hentai is argued to be "better" than irl porn solely on the basis that real people aren't being exploited. It still does the same amount of brain damage. Written words and drawn pictures can still meme people into degeneracy, actually they can give people more fucked up fetishes than irl porn ever could. After all, real people can not perform "all-the-way-through" or "eye socket fucking", and yet there are now those who are turned on by it all the same because of hentai. But this is still fine, after all, it's not real, right?
There will always be escalation, no exception. People undoubtedly seek out as real of a simulation of their impossible/fictional fetishes as they can. Do you know how much 3D hyper realistic snuff loli porn there is on wildly popular websites like pixiv and patreon? There are sickeningly real images of children bodies, all out in the open and accepted because hey they have anime faces!
With the way technology is going, it'll be incredibly easy to make fake too real, at which point "no woman was harmed in the making of this" is irrelevant. It harms women all the same.
So if you're looking to hear that hentai is a viable alternative to irl porn, you just have to think a bit longer to see that it's not.

>>554422I think people have a misconception about the idea of hydration
clear pee doesn't mean you drank too much water–it just means you have a lot of water in your system, not an amount that is dangerous or anything
Super gross dark pee is gross, but it doesn't mean you're dehydrated. Could you use more water? Yes, but you're not going to die if your pee is dark for more than a couple days.
I think people think of hydration in terms of beauty terms instead of medical terms. Drinking more water is beneficial for your skin/body/overall beauty, but you don't want to bloat–But none of that has anything do do with your actual physical health
Just drink water when you get thirsty and you'll be fine
Personally, if you have to aim for something, aim for clear pee instead of trying to figure out if your pee is the right shade
Having 8 cups of water will get you there

Is it really that bad to live with your mom?
Im in my 20s and I still live with my mom since its the most beneficial set up for us, we are able to keep the family home that would be too big for one person otherwise, groceries, bills, etc are manageable and cheap since they are split between two people, my mom doesn’t understand jack shit about computers so i handle the banking and finances that rely on apps and the internet, we also seem to have pretty healthy boundaries when it comes to going out, im allowed to leave whenever i want and used to be able to come back whenever I wanted too (as farfetched as it sound my city had a serial killer who targeted college aged girls last year, fucking bizarre i know) with only basic questions asked, where im going and when should i be expected back, now i have a 2-3 am curfew which still sounds reasonable, same with my mother, she tells me where she’s going and that’s it whenever someone comes back the owe no explanation or details either.
She insists on doing the household chores but only because she doesn’t like my more soft cleaning style, she goes all in with the bleach, so im relegated to finance, groceries and cooking, it still seems pretty fair since we do have all tasks evenly set up.
Its a pretty cushy set up that allowed me to go to a much better college than if i insisted on moving out and living alone, but I can’t help to feel weird since everyone else in the internet finds living with your parents weird lol

>>554791It's only weird to live with your parents if you're not making any kind of contribution and have made no strides to better yourself in order to move out.

I personally couldn't stand the interrogations and bullshit from my mom when I had to move back home temporarily and it was enough to make me never want to do that again.

have been groomed and are recovering from it. I feel like if you're a woman online between 17 and 30, you know someone who's been groomed (if not yourself.)
If she's being really unresponsive, then you need to just go straight to her parents about it.

Is there anything I can do to avoid vanity/narcissism while being meticulous about my appearance?
I notice that when I spend lots of time on makeup, hair, fashion, etc. I become a lot more self-absorbed and judgemental. I feel awful being that way. When I'm negligent about those things I focus more on my life, hobbies, and interests and don't care so much about the image I'm projecting/how I'm being seen.

still, it's funny that the same doesn't apply to men. i can't imagine a man fully fapping to other guys and having crushes on them being able to say "nah i'm still straight because i don't actually date/fuck men." they would be called closet gay/bi by men and women alike.

>>555376There's definitely a stigma against gay/bi men, but that's probably because men find lesbian relationships sexy, but no one really sexualizes gay relationships the same way.

the same thing could be said about girls and fashion/styling. a lot of us never learned from our mother or anywhere else in particular but we figured it out through trial and error how to do hair and put together looks. and then you have some trans women who have absolutely astounding bad taste in fashion and the worst hairstyle you've ever seen because they never cared about it until transitioning. a little intuition and a lot of interest goes a long way.

Anyone know anything about his past/upbringing? I don't even mean that in an invasive/obsessive way (I can understand he's just a private person) I just wonder due to the fact that he's said a lot of inconsistent/suspiciously vague stuff in interviews.

How do I become intrinsically motivated?
I recently had this realization that I do things for others' sake.
Like, I can only make myself do the dishes or clean my apartment if I know my roommates coming home. If it was up to me I would live in a place full of trash.
I also always struggled with keeping up doing my hobbies. I just have this feeling that doing things for my own entertainment is not worth doing, I need to have someone to impress with them.
Can anyone relate to this? How do I get over this?

The ending felt lackluster, but you gotta do what you gotta do when you don’t have a whole network funding your project.

vpns will do absolutely nothing for google tracking you if you leave your google account logged in, or accidentally log into it while browsing. otherwise, vpns mask your internet browsing, making it impossible for your ISP, law enforcement or government see where you are going on the internet or what you are downloading. there are caveats - if your vpn provider keeps logs, they are still required to hand them over if asked by law enforcement. i would always recommend getting a vpn that doesn't keep logs (discards the record of sites/downloads from their users).
finally, the things you do on the internet still leave a trace - whether through posts you have made, or your vpn dropping in the middle of a download, or even keyloggers analysing the way you type. you should never assume FULL anonymity.

>>558572They don't exist in a vacuum, but the fiction = reality retard post that went viral is bullshit. What happens in real life can influence fiction, of course. And people can in turn, be influenced by fiction, usually emotionally, like crying at movies or whatever. Media, at least mass media, can also influence beauty and style, and how people view themselves as attractive or not.
But Tumblr and Twitter types aren't intelligent enough to consider all that. They think some dumbass writing an ABO fic involving two teenage boys will somehow create child molestors. More than that, it's a bunch of teens hiding behind being "woke" to silence people who ship things they don't like, plain and simple.
No. 558630
>>558572Yes, but not like hypnotizing people to do something they know is wrong. Horror movies can stigmatize mentally ill people to be perceived as crazy violent stalkers, video games can desensitize you to violence and even the Jaws effect really did happen, people hunted down Great Whites simply because they saw a movie very loosely based on real life events. However, there's also a saying that fiction doesn't influence reality, it influences the ignorant. Which is way more accurate. People didn't hunt sharks because a movie told them to, they hunted them because they were scared and didn't know any better. Like think back to any time a movie fed you some bullshit facts that stuck with you even though it wasn't true, The Martian claimed you can live on potatoes for years with some reality-bending science. We can't police and ban fiction because some dumbass might get their real-life facts from a movie, if that was the case it wouldn't even be possible to create fiction because it's only one person's perspective of the world, not the absolute, objective truth. Most people still can tell the difference between fiction and reality, or at least are smart enough to be open minded towards actual facts.
But Twitter wokesters trying to claim that there are going to be 25-year old fangirls raping teen males left and right because they read a fanfic about underage anime characters is retarded though. Cartoons in particular so far removed from reality that they don't affect our brain and perception of reality in the same way watching something ultra-realistic would. Like you see an anime teen and it's created to be so vague that it could very well be an adult or a teen, depending on the viewer themselves you can project pretty much whatever you want into some cartoon lines. Often they don't even act like believable teenagers because - surprise - they're written by people far past their 30's.

>>558623The underdiagnosing of female autism is an actual phenomenon that's been studied. You might have two autistic kids in a family (It happens, genetics and the parents' ages), boy and a girl, and only the boy is diagnosed while the girl is left to her own devices. I actually saw a family like this, the boy was studied for possible ADHD/autism and the girl, while acting just like the boy, was only punished and "whipped to shape" so to speak. People tend to keep a tighter discipline for girls, they are so strongly socialized to fit a certain mold socially so their autism often manifests as social awkwardness, depression, anxiety, hyperfixation and other traits flying under the radar. Boys are much more likely to act out in external ways and the diagnostic criteria for autism has been studied using a male patient as a default state, so naturally even medical professionals are much more likely to spot the red flags with a male child than a female one. It's very common that women on the autistic spectrum don't get diagnosed until their 20's when their behavior can't be attributed to just being a kid anymore or their life-long experiences with social anxiety cause them to seek help. You can google "girls undiagnosed with autism" and find plenty of resources regarding this issue.

Because of the one drop rule or something, sometimes I see people like Mariah Carey described as being Black when she's very obviously mixed, so I guess people who usually call anyone who's a little mixed Black would call Ariana Grande that if they thought her tan is her actual skin color.
Now the actual problem here is how the fuck do people look at her obvious spray tan and obvious plastic surgery on her face and think it's natural in the first place? Not even saying she's ugly, it's just obvious she's trying hard to have a specific style.

As for the whole scene…meh, I tend to keep to myself and probably wouldn't engage with any lolita comms. My city has a notoriously heinous one, so.
>>560752To add to the other anon's reply, I feel like the stereotypes perpetuate themselves. I know I would feel more inclined to act "chill" if I were trying to fit in with a subculture perceived as being "chill." I also have to wonder if hobbies/fashions that require extensive research and money lead one to become more gatekeepy and high-strung.

id love to see you pull a nationwide revolution out of your ass that not once included looting or vandalism
looting and vandalism, particularly looting and vandalism of corporate property, are not comparable to sexual violence.
looting is an acceptable form of protest when >we live in a society that values replaceable products owned by large companies as more valuable and protectable than actual human lives.

It’s been 8 years since Trayvon Martin, 6 since Tamir Rice, 5 since Sandra Bland, 4 since Philando Castile, and those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head. Tensions mounted with Breonna Taylor and Ahmad Arbery happening so close to each other and rightfully exploded with George Floyd. We’re always told systemic change will happen through voting and peaceful resistance but it never does. Look at the fucking nominee the Dems chose; Biden will do absolutely nothing but sweep issues under the rug and play diplomat to everyone beneath him.

I rarely have seen men write love letters (or somehow they end talking about themselves).
Most men I know won't pick restaurants for anniversaries on their own and be excited to surprise you.
Most men are lazy and happy to let you do relationship labor (taking about issues, finding stuff to do together).
Some do all those things. At the very start of a relationship, mostly. But I think it's more of a ploy to get in your pants (so the romantism then is more of an mean to a
and end.)
I would love to meet an true hopeless romantic walking the walk and proving me I'm wrong. But, at 30, so far, I've never seen it.

No. 561246
>>561216Yes, many of my friends are (I tend to weed out every men with slight misogynistic behavior or spoiled men) but they usually get turned down because women don't seem to like it. Some of them quit being hopeless romantics because they get mocked over it. I'm not saying it's women fault, of course, but romanticism often comes with your not-so-attractive and kind of "weak" and shy guy who's afraid to show you the weakest side (since most men consider romanticism as weakness lmao). I myself am not romantic and turned down one, once.
Don't trust men who will tell you explicitly they're hopeless romantics, though. Most of times they're just implicitly saying they want their dream perfect girlfriend.
Still, after 4 years I am still lovey-dovey with my bf mostly because I was sure to make himself feel at ease with being "less masculine", compliment him a lot etc and let go into lovey-dovey behavior. I also fought a lot with him for what I wanted and what I thought was important.
It's a shit society in which we live and some men are naturally romantic but quit being so by the time they enter puberty and decide their stupid pack mentality and display of testosterone is more important than being a decent and happy human being.

God, diets never never ever fucking work for me because I'm a picky eater and I hate making my own food so god damn much, and I feel so fucking dumb and embarassed for being such a picky eater but also I grew up not eating most of the food that I dislike so no way I'm going to start liking it now lol
I hate cabbage, lettuce, that thing that popeye eats, carrots, sweet potatoes, radish, celery and whatever other raw vegetable
The only shit I find tolerable is broccoli, white broccoli, zucchini, jicama, cucumber, and bell peppers, but this is only tolerable level and I would hate if I suddenly had to eat them to lose weight everyday even thought I should
As for fruits, I fucking love almost every fruit and I'm including tomatos right here because tomatos are bomb. I love blue berries, strawberries, peaches, mandarin oranges, guayaba, everything! really the only fruits I despise are papaya, apples and oranges. Even grapefruits, I freaking love grapefruits
As for meat, I hate eating meat because I feel guilty for it having so much bad stuff going on or whatever (not a vegan thing). But I can survive on eating chicken breats prepared in any way. I also love turkey ham but idk if that counts.
What should I do? Should I just eat fruits, chicken and turkey ham to lose weight? lol

>>561331To lose weight you need to eat less, so I’m sure you can eat all of what you listed but in lesser portions. It’s not like you're pigging out on rice or potato chips so you’re fine. Turkey and Chicken have a lot of protein and the fruits you mentioned can aid in brighter skin. Try to schedule a time to eat so you don’t fall into eating mindlessly.

>>561448>>561467NTA but I'm going through the exact same thing right now. Maladaptive daydreaming about a celebrity, partly because I've been super quarantined bored and partly because I'm feeling unfulfilled. IMO it goes from kind of dumb to unhealthy why you're constantly comparing the people in your real life to them as well as opting to imagine about them instead of spending time with the people actually in your life.
My crush has been going on for awhile too but I go through phases. Last two weeks I was super obsessed but this week I'm kinda meh. I don't really think about him when I'm talking with my friends so I think that's a good sign. I'd just try and compartmentalize the time you do spend thinking about him and just going back to fully focusing on work. Do you have any other hobbies to take your mind of it? When I'm drawing I tend not to think of it either.
If you do start to compare this crush to the people you date in real life I'd just keep in mind that the version of him in your head doesn't truly exist either. It's just marketed to be that way towards you. Even if you think your personalities would mesh well together there's still aspects of who they are as a person that you would never know unless you truly actually interacted with them, and that you'd probably find flaws with them in real life just like you would a normal person. It's still fun to pretend though.

I was never interested in online personalities or gossip so I didn't care too much about /snow/ or /pt/ at first and didn't know many of the cows except PT, but I grew more interested over time and now I follow a few.

What is a small pet that is good for a lonely person? I am contemplating between a rat, rabbit, and possibly a fish.
No. 561932
>>561924It depends on your free time, too. Consider their lifespan, too. If you get the rat, be sure to get two, otherwise they will suffer when you’re not around.
I absolutely love rats and wanted to get a pair before getting my cat. They’re adorable!
No. 561948
>>561924Rats. They're very affectionate and smart and love their human buddy. But please please please never get just one, you should have a group of at least 2-3 rats so they can properly socialize with one another. Personally I recommend getting even more, it really makes a difference. You can see their different personalities and how they form besties in big groups.
I'd say their short lifespan is a plus for a person like me, who likes to move and change their life every few years. If you want a smart pet who lasts longer then go for a rabbit, but as far as I know, they require +1 rabbit friend too.

No. 561975
>>561924You've already got lots of answers but I'm chiming in to add that rats are the best (but as other anons mentioned, please get two at the very least)!
As a fellow lonely person I just adopted my boys after researching and thinking about it for a year and I couldn't be happier. Rats are great pets, so sweet and friendly and genuinely love human contact. I don't really like animals that only tolerate you because you give them food, but with my rats I feel as if they actually want to play and hang out with me.
I would recommend finding a good breeder to buy them young so you can socialize them yourself or adopt them from someone who handled them a lot since rats from a pet shop are usually more skittish and take time to earn your trust. Mine were babies I adopted from my local shelter and their foster mom clearly had experience with rat care and she socialized them very well, so within a few days they were already licking me, climbing on me, and letting me pick them up.
They're really such sweet beans. Rabbits are adorable too but they require tons of room to roam around and you also need to adopt them in pairs. Fish are beautiful and fun to watch but if you want a companion for loneliness I think having an animal you can hold and interact with physically would be better.

i think chemisty also plays a big part in if it's enjoyable. for example my bf used too much tongue in the beginning but we both kind of naturally learned how to best kiss one another fairly quickly. it probably would have been weird to have to actually tell him to lay off the tongue, a guy told me that once when i was 14 and i was so embarrassed, lol.

>>562811ssris are not 'balancing the chemicals in the brain'. that's a huge oversimplification or an outright myth that got popularized by prozac marketing.
there's no such thing as a 'chemical imbalance' in the brain. neurotransmitters are not like magnesium or whatever that you can have a deficiency of. all neurotransmitter systems are interconnected and there are many other factors in the brain that come into play (neurotrophic factors, synaptic plasticity, hormonal influences etc) when it comes to its functioning. you aren't depressed because you're missing serotonin. the increased reuptake at first increases serotonergic activity, and ultimately results in
decreased serotonergic activity as your brain will alter the synthesis and breakdown of serotonin and the expression of serotonin receptors in response to the drug. that's why you get withdrawal symptoms like brain zaps when you stop taking the drug. the treatment effects of ssris extend beyond serotonin as well, because blocking serotonin reuptake will cause changes in most other neurotransmitter systems. one of the theories about how ssris work in depression is that the increased activation of one subtype of serotonin receptor indirectly increases neuroplasticity.
you aren't restoring any balance in your brain because your brain is already balanced, just in a way that makes you feel like shit. you're taking a psychoactive substance that alters your mood and thinking, and one of its effects is inducing apathy.
