    Hello!

    Sertraline can assist with this but often people say it gets worse before it gets better.

    It is worth looking at cbt techniques to break down the thought.

    There is a really good free app called woebot that helps to do this.

    I often find I have very negative black and white thoughts when this really isn't the case and it helps me to re write the thought to be honest why don't you give that a try and see if it helps and keep it somewhere you can get to if it comes back? Doesn't have to be overly positive or lie but just the truth 😊
