need a hug

Today was my first day of out patient program... very draining, couple bad panic moments. They changed my meds again... started Zoloft last Sat 25 mg (?, lowdosage). Zero energy, unhappy stomach ( nausea & bathroom type), barely eatting. Now starting lexapero super lowdosage, 1/2 a pill to start. 4 different meds in like a year... not fun. Trying to chill so I can go to the anxiety class tonight- something my therapist wanted me to do before all this went down. My case worker thinks it would be helpful. More tools more support get me better. Well I just got a text from my mom saying she's getting offered a job in Boise(she currently lives near me, my sister moved there last year) I haven't even told her what's going on.... have major abondment issues all stemming from her. I can't deal with this... bawled to my husband on phone. He's going to talk to my mom, cause I can't.

Oh Mel, I'm so sorry in what you are going through. I know right now it seems as if the suffering is endless but I assure you this is the hardest time. Once you get situated on your meds and the right dosage along with out patient therapy, things will start improving.

I was in a dark place once so I know how frightened you are. You will be okay, You will make it through this dark period, You will smile again.

Love you dear friend. You've been so good to me. Now it's my turn to be there for you.

You're not alone Mel. This forum adores you. You've made so many friends. This is your time now to take care of yourself. When I was in your place, I pushed everyone aside so I

could concentrate on getting well again. And you will too.

Putting my arms around you and sending you a virtual hug. You are going to get through this, I promise. And I'll be right behind you supporting you all the way. xx

❤❤❤Agora1, what would we do without you? Thank you sweetheart. You are there for so many of us... it's an honor to be there for you. You are my friend & I love you.

I am trying real hard to believe it gets better. To realize it's okay to be a bit selfish. I need to focus on getting healthy, better.

So many hugs & love to you.

❤ Thank you hunter4ransom. Needed that. Abondment issues are tough, glad their others who understand. Trying to focus on those who I know give me support right now & that I'm doing the right thing. Love & hugs to you.

Fauxartist, my ray of light. Thank you so much... I knew you would understand the abondment issues. The little girl in me is hurting a lot... Trying to show her there's a ton of love for her. It's hard, but I'm trying.

On the plus side, tummy is feeling a bit better. Appetite is slowly coming back. 🙂❤❤❤

This is so weird. I started Zoloft too last week too and I’m having the same symptoms. I’ve been on it before and I remember liking it a lot. But I feel sick and like I’m going downhill. Keep us updated! I hope you feel better 🤗
