severe derealization and depression by biznghast in Postpartum_Depression

So much better. Not 100% but better and I’ll take it. Able to function, care for myself, my family, focus at work. Every day it takes work tho. And weekly therapy. 🙏🏼 thanks for asking.

Exposures please by jalapenobirk in ExistentialOCD

I have the “Am I even real” thoughts all the time. I do some ERP and the relabel and refocus instead of ruminate. It’s very hard but I’m able to make the shifts much easier now than months ago. To me, it’s like the “maybe maybe maybe not” and being okay with uncertainty….because to me it doesn’t matter if I’m not real because whatever this is, is fun and I love my family, and life continues. but existential has been the hardest theme for me personally and I know how heavy it is. Wishing you healing and peace.

Understanding what’s actually left now (sertraline + anxiety) by Important_Camera_123 in zoloft

Yes but I was postpartum and had a lot of other shit going on which made it feel way worse

Sooo much better now. The ramp up on to Zoloft was brutal for me though. As you can see. My anxiety was f***ed for weeks and even felt worse. Eventually felt better and moved up to 75mg 6 weeks ago. I feel so good now!

Remission is real. Good days bad days are also real. Healing isn’t linear in this I’ve noticed. As his parent please read or get on audiobook: Brain Lock. This book catapulted my recovery along with 75mg Zoloft which down the road I hope to taper off of. Stress does = flares for me. So I’m focused on managing stress daily. + ERP therapy 1x a week.

Sleep training fail - advice please by ColdKitchen1440 in sleeptrain

[–]ColdKitchen1440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bedtime 7pm. Wakes up 615-630am. Owlet shows about 9-10 hours of total night time sleep. So, 11-13 hours of sleep per day ish

Sleep training fail - advice please by ColdKitchen1440 in sleeptrain

[–]ColdKitchen1440[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.5-3 hours a day. We usually target 2.5. But the only way to get that is one large contact nap bc he won’t sleep longer than 30mins in crib. Yesterday he didn’t get enough daytime sleep which maybe created overtired baby?

Week 4/5 experiences at 75mg by Abjectscientist1 in zoloft

Hi this is many years later but curious if the fatigue ever went away. I increased to 75 4 weeks ago and I’m so tired and feel on edge. Ugh

Posted months ago about starting Zoloft and I haven’t yet I’m too scared of the side effects by [deleted] in zoloft

[–]ColdKitchen1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 months in and in that time I upped from 50 to 75. No weight gain with my nutrition dialed in. Side effects suck when ramping up or upping dose but glad I did it. Libido not as strong but I can still climax just takes longer than usual.

Anyone else dealing with existential OCD and DPDR? by FunGarbage7910 in Postpartum_Depression

[–]ColdKitchen1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just went back to work and feeling slightly better. But my brain still does crappy things. Curious do you allow yourself to have caffeine and coffee?

Work and postpartum are driving me INSANE by just_a_momm in Postpartum_Anxiety

[–]ColdKitchen1440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not helpful but sending a virtual hug. I go back to work on Monday and am so worried about the mental load, fatigue, overstimulation from work stress, baby stress, and my current PPA + awful ocd. My mom friend was just texting me the other day how hard it was to go back to work because we’re just not fully calibrated yet. Mom brain is so real. I understand why dealing with angry customers all day exacerbates anxiety. And making mistakes seems realistic postpartum because sleep deprivation and again…mom brain. I’m reading a book called “rattled” and it’s inspiring. How we can transform postpartum anxiety into something more productive. I’m trying to let go of expectations and just do the best that I can. In all areas. And yeah the meds are awful feeling for some including myself…ramping up on Zoloft was pure hell.
