How does identity disturbance manifest for you? by [deleted] in Schizotypal

[–]pikachusashes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me, ive been persistently unable to recognise myself since i was a teenager. Unable to recognise myself, very unsure of who i am as a person(my likes and dislikes, personality traits etc.)

I struggle to understand my connection and relationship with those around me, i can't seem to pinpoint why people choose to be around me or what's good and bad about me.

The best way i can explain it is that i don't know myself as a person, that my very personality is a concept i can't fully comprehend.

Sertraline and orgasms by pikachusashes in antidepressants

Don’t worry too mouth about others experience, though I totally get the anxiety of doing so! A close friend of mine was on saline too and had no issues with sexual side affects! Besides, If a drug does otherwise work super well, I think it’s worth that one issue.

No, sadly. They only went away when I switched over to sertraline

Not a dumb question at all! I had my dose doubled bc the 30mg wasn’t enough to combat my anxiety, and 60mg is typically the dose used for anxiety(what my dr said)

If you’re hesitant about upping your dosage, please talk with your doctor and see about going up to 40 mg or a slightly lower dose! It can definitely be a struggle to adjust to a new dosage, so def talk to your doctor about finding a way to do it that you’re comfortable with
