Hi every one.
I started sertraline 6 weeks ago. First 3 week were
awful. I then began to feel better and hopeful. I am now on week six and for the last week iv felt just as bad as before i started taking them. I think i might be better upping my dose but im scared of the side effects. Plus i work alot and i dont want to struggle at work any more than i already am. I feel so down. I dont want to drag my friends and family
down by talking about it. I dont like talking about it because i feel guilty when my friends worry about me. Plus it doesnt make me feel any better. I hate this awful feeling. Im angry at myself because I carnt shake it off. Sorry for tge long post. I just dont know what to do for the best! Thanks for listening 😊 x

There's almost nothing worse than feeling like you are back at square 1 (or worse) after experiencing some improvement and progress. However, try not to be too hard on yourself: you haven't chosen to feel the way you do and it's not a result of anything bad you have done. You want to get better and that determination, for the sake of your family and yourself, will see you through! It sounds like you are putting too much pressure on yourself which may be counter-productive (that's not a criticism though as it is a natural reaction - many of us can relate to what you are feeling). If you can, find methods of being kind to yourself, relaxing & building up your self-confidence and self-belief. Rediscover the things that you used to enjoy doing. The meds play a part but they're not the whole story. Your positive attitude will get you to that place you want to be. I know it's tough when we feel like we have no energy for the daily grind. If it feels like too much, then that's the time to pause and be most gentle with yourself.
Sending you a BIG hug & wishing you good luck! Be strong & you will succeed!
