      Yes it's hard once I wake up my mind starts to think about what I feel today but I can cope with this 100mg of sertraline although there is still a thinking in the background of my mind all day about my feelings which I think I need to up my dose to 150 , 😭 I don't really want that but will see my doc and then will decide. Today is my twins ( boys ) 5th birthday and I have to be myself 100% it's hard though, I don't know why this is happening to me I never had antidepressants before and never thought I will but my doc told me we change through our life so it's ok and if there is something which can help you to be happy why not go for it .😔

      I am a 26 year old woman with two beautiful children a great soon to be husband and an amazing family , none believe in taken medication at all and I can't even begin to tell you how difficult it's been just to keep me having to go on antidepressants under the table , we are. Christian family after gods will and it can be difficult , I have to say that I truly believe God wants us to be hole , and he does not want us to sit around with anxiety and depression, social anxiety , ocd , it is our job to take control over the situation and try to get better ! Especially if we have kids looking up to us . Making a step to see a doctor is a sign of strength it's your self telling yourself I am not going to let this defeat me I am going to have faith that I can and will get better !

      It might be a high dose for you . Probably you need to go back to 50 .

      Crystal, God gave these scientist great knowledge to make meds, to help make us better.  Christians, will take all the medication required for physical ailments of the body, especially when its cancer,  according to Gods word the WHOLE body is his creation, therfore at times you need to call on meds to help get through the trauma that life brings that, affects our mental wellbeing. Please be kind to yourself, some of the greatest christians suffered from depression and anxiety.

      Yes it is , just up and down and not enjoying what you are doing , I have my kid bday soon and I'm not excited like before , before I used to be planning stuff decorating doing a lot of fun things that day but no not anymore , I hate it although I have to do it but not with the same motivation I had before.

      hi dodo, it is Scarry it's THE MOST AWFUL illness , I think your still leveling out and your going through a blip. you have to try talking yourself, telling your self this is an illness I will get through this. walk a lot that helps burn the adrenaline and may help you sleep.

      Maybe yiu do need to up the dose or maybe you need to lower it. go next week to your Dr, if you can wait that long I know it's hard, do breathing and do what makes you feel.a tiny bit better. of course your not going to enjoy things as you are not well, give your self a break. xx
