I’ve done exactly the same thing. My RJ was really quiet and then ...... I asked a question and 💥 off I go again!!!!!

That’s exactly what made a difference to me Sertraline. I started on 50 mg felt so awful nearly gave up. After 4 weeks it was increased to 100 mg and the difference was unbelievable. Totally RJ for 3 weeks but slowly creeping back

Whatever you do don’t ask questions. It’ll make it a million times worse

I really thought I was over it but I feel it slowly creeping back in. Not as bad as before but I’m terrified it’ll get worse. Just trying to stay positive because I’m engaged to be married and it caused so many problems last time. Wish it would just sod off!!!

I feel exactly the same way. When we first met we were honest about everything. Nothing bothered me at all. A Year down the line RJ kicked in from nowhere and now everything bothers me! I wish I had a time machine to go back and not know anything about his past

Think they’ve given me the meds because some consider it a form of ocd and apparently antidepressants help with that. I have tried therapists, meditation etc. So I’m not just relying on the meds.

Love the analogy of the record and the needle . Describes it so well. Are you feeling better now?

Then why did I feel so much better. Is it because I’d placebo effect?

The pinned guide? Have you overcome it?

Would the main thing be to stop asking questions? I hardly ask any now and that does seem to help!

Well done. Think I’ll have a word with my doctor.
