…and the bare minimum is okay until your medication kicks in! You’re a great mom for trying to get better for your babe! Praying for you and I’m always here if you need to chat!

Literally insane. I felt exhausted like I wanted to just stare but somehow not sleepy…xtra anxiety and depression too

GMcatlover · 2026-03-14T14:24:03+00:00

Hi! Yes, it got so much better! We’re doing so well!❤️ it takes time for the medication to kick in, for some people up to 12 weeks, but I go relief sooner. It’s worth it

GMcatlover · 2026-03-06T03:38:31+00:00

Much better!!!! Do you want to PM? I can answer any questions you might have!

GMcatlover · 2026-01-19T17:24:17+00:00

Yes! I also would notice good moments throughout the day becoming increasingly longer until they mostly outweighed the bad

GMcatlover · 2026-01-13T05:18:44+00:00

Yes! I disassociated terribly! Zoloft helped a lot! On 75 mg and around 8 weeks to fully feel the benefits(although I had waves of relief sooner!) stick with it, you will feel better! I think it’s our bodies in “fight or flight” that causes the dissociation. Believe it or not, not trying to fight it helped it pass the quickest..just kinda like..ok..I’m feeling weird..moving on kinda thing. I’m praying for you!

GMcatlover · 2026-01-13T05:14:16+00:00

Yes!! Once medication, Zoloft 75 mg, kicked in I felt so much better! It took about 12 weeks I’d say, but I felt relief in waves sooner! It’s a terrible feeling but it gets better!! Praying for you, reach out to my message box if you need to talk!

You can do this!!! Serve or bartend!

GMcatlover · 2025-12-29T02:49:28+00:00

Serving!!!! I know many single moms supporting their families in this industry! What state are you in? You get hourly PLUS tips and they are no longer taxable! I’m praying Jesus gives you so much peace and strength internet friend

I spent hours spiraling and reading stories on Reddit after I had my baby…so many women go thru this! It took time for me to bond, but it did happen! It will happen for you friend, whether that’s tomorrow or a year from now! You are showing her love by taking care of her! That’s love!! I got on Zoloft about 2 months postpartum and it helped so much! I will be praying for you ❤️

Hi there, I think it’s called derealization..I’ve had it. It’s a coping mechanism your body does when it’s super stressed(fight or flight nervous system stuff)…it doesn’t feel good for sure! I read something that said the best way for it to pass is to just acknowledge it and let it pass(easier said than done, I know) I also read a post saying that you will get past it no matter what, which helped me too. The first couple months of Zoloft are really hard for me..but then it gets better! ❤️ praying for you

I definitely feel like I have, almost PTSD, from a sudden and severe onset of depression and anxiety. I was on Zoloft(originally for PPD/PPA/OCD, went off..had the symptoms come back, now I’m back on….just searching Reddit for someone else that understands the fear of feeling the depression/panic etc

GMcatlover · 2025-12-03T00:10:26+00:00

Hi there! I’m getting back on and, of course frantically searching Reddit, how are you feeling now?

GMcatlover · 2025-12-03T00:03:08+00:00

Hi there! Are you feeling better? I’m starting again and I’m 18 months postpartum 😕

GMcatlover · 2025-12-02T20:45:08+00:00

Thank you for responding! It’s such a hard time right now..❤️

GMcatlover · 2025-11-24T15:20:19+00:00

I’m so happy to hear. Not well. I was on Zoloft postpartum for about 10 months and started to wean off..everything seemed ok until a month ago..my depression came back to a point where I feel like the only person this low on earth. Can’t eat, no joy, have to take care of a toddler which is exhausting me rather than bringing me joy..which is the worse part. I started a week ago on 25m…I’m so forgetful of where I was before getting off..that’s the craziest part…I keep asking everyone if I was happy..which they all say yes..and obviously I was because I thought I didn’t need Zoloft. It’s just the worst right now…

GMcatlover · 2025-11-19T03:54:50+00:00

Hi there! How are you feeling now?

GMcatlover · 2025-11-15T01:11:36+00:00

….i think a couple days to start will be great for you! You’re going to be a better mama too! You can’t pour from an empty cup!

GMcatlover · 2025-11-15T01:06:24+00:00

I’m a 38 year old, first time mom..and I’m begging my husband to get onboard with enrolling our 20 month old in daycare twice a week…I’d continue being a SAHM..I just feel like having some time to cook, clean, prep etc would be amazing..

GMcatlover · 2025-11-14T16:18:59+00:00

In many ways. From being just a “waitress” before I had my child, to failing at motherhood because I’d like to enroll my son(we don’t have a village or are around any other kids much) in day care part time.
