Been on Sertraline 50mg for nearly 1 year and been experiencing problems again recently
Posted , 3 users are following.
In November I had a panic attack which I haven't had for about 9 months and moods been so much better, depression and anxiety was really so much more manageable. However like I say, November I had a panic attack whilst on holiday, I can't even say why I had one. Now since then my moods have really decreased. Feel so low, no motivation, anxious all time again, really negative thoughts about myself and if it's better if I'm not here. I must add I wouldn't ever try to end my life, the thought of it terrifies me.
But what do I do? Do I up my medication? I had to finish my CBT before I was ready because I have too much going on at the moment with work & studying. I can't go back to that yet. I just want to hide away from everyone & everything.

Glad to read that you are feeling a bit more positive. I understand that life's a battle at the moment but I'm just wondering if you could make room for the CBT again if you felt the benefit from it previously. As Richard says, there's no perfect solution, but anything that helps us move forward on our journey to health is worth trying. I'm just about to start some group and 1-2-1 therapy in the next few weeks. I'm hopeful that it will complement the Sert - I have benefitted from a few sessions of CBT in the past when struggling with chronic depression.
Good luck & stay positive. One day at a time...
