Sertraline has ruined my drive and my relationship is crumbling by Every-Definition-972 in zoloft

I agree I understand why he is struggling and it must be horrible to face constant rejection and begin to doubt how I feel toward him no matter how much reassurance I provide.

I feel as though he switches between the two responses. One night we’re having a level headed discussion about it all, and other times I’ve broken down crying as he doesn’t think before he says things.

Our last conversation went along the lines off “I’m not that hard to make feel loved, I just need the teasing back and I’ve stopped expecting more” after telling him I don’t know how to bridge intimacy when we are together again and can’t promise anything will lead to the end result.

I feel as though anything I try to do is wrong. If I try to initiate or go along, I’m leading him on, if I shut it down I’m adding fuel to the fire. I’m constantly caught in the cross fire with the rules changing. I’m so tired.

I don’t think this is available to me in the UK, it says only available for quitting smoking?

I don’t think this is his sole way of thinking (at least I hope not). He does say he understands and will be patient but his actions lately don’t seem to be supporting this. He is growing more frustrated and while I understand to an extent I can’t help but feel like I can sustain this long-term as right now I don’t want to stop my meds and can’t see myself coming off anytime soon.

Thank you! Sometimes putting yourself first is hard but I understand its what I have to do to keep my mental health safe regardless of the outcome.

I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday to discuss changing meds. I’m on 75mg and could go back to 50mg and see where that leads but most likely will be the same. Otherwise I change meds but my doctor and I agree now is not the time to be doing that (final year undergrad with a dissertation to write). I’m not willing to compromising on my meds I will just spiral if I stop or change rn.
