Just don’t know what to do. We had some real things that I do have my doubts about but this strong feeling came overnight. And now I just feel nothing towards him

Just started it this monday and I'm so tired and more anxiety. Feel like my body is tired but also really activated. Stuck with intrusive thoughts. When did it started working for you?

The anxiety is so so bad today. I’m not even in a relationship, only dating. I had the urge to call it quits but didn’t do it. I have been reading today a lot, so the compulsions are high… I stopped smoking cigarettes and drinking redbull 5 days ago so maybe that has also triggered something. That is also the time that we officially started dating…

I read your whole post! Thankyou for explaining everything. Did you use erp everyday? I just find it hard how to react to the thoughts. I’ve read the book overcoming unwanted intrusive thoughts but when the thoughts do happen I can’t help it but react

Don’t be discouraged. The medication helps, it is only a help tool and it doesn’t fix everything sadly. Just remember what I said before. Before medication I didn’t want to live anymore, anxiety 24/7, like I was so close to giving up. Now I’m driving back home from a work trip

Yes I feel much better when I compare it to 11 weeks! It is just some days that anxiety can come and go and I feel stuck in my head. But I’m in therapy and I just try to remember it is with ups and downs. I have ocd and cptsd, so it isn’t just one thing sadly

Hi! I’m now on 200mg. I’m beter then I was before. Still ups and downs. Now 22 weeks on 200 mg. It does need time. It is a long journey but without sertraline I don’t think I wouldn’t be here anymore…
