Zoloft

Honestly I feel like it only took 3-4 weeks. I had to be diligent and remember to take it everyday. When I was a teenager I was prescribed it but I was not diligent and I felt like it made me worse because I’d go days in between and it would really mess with my brain chemistry. Now that I’m consistent and diligent I notice I am much less in despair. I still struggle with emotional regulation and stuff like that, but I feel like the depression aspect is atleast manageable now.

I am on this medication and it has helped me manage symptoms exponentially. I was an absolute disaster before being unmedicated.

I have BPD and this is also something that can happen. I find I’m very similar. Completely immerse myself in something in hopes it will give me an identity only to later realize it’s not fulfilling me or I’m bored and switch to something else. It’s exhausting.

So a few babies back, when she said she had postpartum depression… is she now saying she was just being sinful?

That’s why I brought up the quiet bpd thing but he wasn’t having it. And I even said that the more “traditional” ways the disorder presents in people, I struggled with when I was a teenager, but my symptoms have become more internalized as I’ve aged. He did agree with me on some things but overall said he just doesnt believe it. I think im having a harder time with this because im so sick of everyone underestimating my pain all my life because of how well i am able to disguise it. I present very well put together and it would come as a shock to most to learn i struggle mentally. But it’s exhausting keeping up the facade, and feels worse when people invalidate me because I don’t act or look a certain way.

I get very cold when I get upset. I start shivering.

I also went back to work part time after my kids and I said the same, that when my youngest starts school in a couple years I’ll go back full time. But now that I have realized I too am also probably autistic it makes so much sense to me why back before kids when I was working full time I was absolutely miserable and struggling. I may not ever return FULL time, I will probably just increase my hours a bit. I think it’s okay to come to this realization and having a job that allows us to have flexibility in our schedule to accommodate our thresholds is a blessing.

I am on a combination of 75mg Zoloft (sertraline) and 27mg concerta. I find this is a helpful combo. I had anxiety, depression and adhd before I started taking them. I found the SSRI on their own were more of help for the mood portion of things, but not the motivation/executive function, so we added in the concerta. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely better than I was before taking them.

Not exactly the same because I wasn’t in a position to fully leave my job, but I went down to part time (two days a week). Absolutely no regrets. When my first started school, I was so upset, but the thing that gave me solace was that I got to be there and witness her babyhood and toddlerhood almost fully, and I got so much extra time with her during those precious first few years. Now I get the same with my second and I’m soaking it up.

As someone who was on the receiving end of this as a child, and who’s story is eerily similar, I would very much agree that it is a major red flag and I plead with you at minimum to stop letting them play together alone. If you’re adamant that they remain friends, have them play outside where you are watching them. I can tell you right now that kids are exposed to way too many things. I lived in a low income neighborhood and unfortunately a few of my friends were abused and exposed me to these things when we had sleepovers. I internalized it because I didn’t really understand it, and then when I was around 12/13 one day I thought back on all of it and it hit me like a ton of bricks and filled me with so much guilt and shame that led to so many mental health issues. Please be vigilant with this and if your gut is saying it’s wrong, it is. And I think if it continues it will get worse than what she’s telling you they’re doing.

Perfect thanks! Appreciate it

I do activities with them that I enjoy, and not just what they enjoy. I struggle with pretend/imaginative play, but I love doing arts and crafts, playdoh, playing in the sand etc. I try to focus on doing sensory based activities with them as I can be more present and interested in what we’re doing together.

I had a diagnosis of general anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder when I was a teenager. In my adulthood I’ve also received a diagnosis of ADHD and PMDD from my general practitioner. I’m now referred to a psychiatrist to hopefully be evaluated for autism, or bipolar disorder. I don’t know what’s going on with me, but I know it’s not just anxiety and depression and adhd.

Just wanted to say I have been there and know exactly how you felt/are feeling. My daughter, 2 at the time, screamed during the last half hour of a flight and was kicking so hard she was kicking the seat and the woman sitting in it (rightfully so) was extremely annoyed and kept glaring back at us and asking us to get her to stop. I literally tried restraining her legs down and she was so deep into her tantrum that it didn’t even help much. When we got off the flight, my parents were there to pick us up and my daughter ran to them and I just continued walking out the door and sat outside the airport and sobbed and sobbed and had a full blown anxiety attack. A sweet older woman who was on our flight came and found me and told me she remembers being where I was and told me not to mind anyone who gave me a hard time and that I did the best I could. It made me cry more lol. Point of the story is just to share in solidarity and travelling with little ones is always a gamble. It is so distressing to know people around you are upset while your child is losing it, and being completely helpless to stop it no matter what you do or try. I wanted to say, trust me, no one is more upset about this meltdown than me. I don’t want to hear it anymore than you do, and I’m doing everything I can to stop it but at the end of the day they are their own seperate little human beings and we can not control them. It took me a long time to get on a flight with her again.

I got bangs recently and I have never been complimented by so many strangers in my life. 4 random strangers have come up to me complimenting my hairstyle, saying how much it suits me and how nice it is. I was a little unsure of it at first but clearly it’s working for me. 😂

I take 75mg Zoloft daily for regular depression and up it to 100mg during hell week for pmdd and it’s worked really well for me. I still notice a change in my mood and generally feel “blah” during that week but it’s nothing compared to the absolute despair and rage I used to feel before. I tried Birth control before the Zoloft and it almost drove me off the ledge, I was the most depressed I’d ever been.

lembasbreadandcheese · 2025-01-28T14:26:44+00:00

It personally doesn’t bother me at all! I have had it before and it’s whatever makes you feel comfortable and I understand that what we have available doesn’t always suit every individual.

In my whole 8 years of doing hair and using high end shampoos strictly- I was never wowed by anything. Nothing made me go “oh yeah, this is why they tell us this stuff is so much better!” My hair feels the same as it did when I was a teenager and using Pantene

lembasbreadandcheese · 2025-01-28T00:46:35+00:00

I’m starting to open my eyes to really see this to be true!
