On the right one, the sense of utter futility and doom gets out of the way. I'm able to feel normal, to do things that previously I'd put off through some sense of dread or other nonsense. Things that were hard for no good reason get reset to their normal values.

SSRI's don't feel like anything (if you are lucky about side effects). The depression that they replace is more of a feeling that I could describe endlessly because it's a pit of despair that never ends.

Great explanation. If they are well dose and manages, they should feel like nothing, instead your emotions should feel a bit more manageable.
