Encouragement needed

[Jwell53]

Sorry for posting again but just realised I have been on 100mg sertraline for 15 weeks not 14 and was really hoping I would be level by Christmas but feel like I have gone backwards as last night woke up at 3am like I did at the start and very anxious on and off which has got worse over the week. Week 13 was really good but since had different brand of propranolol the anxiety has gradually increased don’t know if there is any link. Has anyone else had a bad week 15 and did they improve This rollercoaster is really getting me down just want to feel normal again finding it hard to find the strength to carry on

Hey there.

As the last person replied,you can still have bad days now and then.

Perhaps you may find that by counting the weeks focusing on when your meds will work could be making you feel worse.

I have found that the use of anti depressants have levelled me enough to make sense of my feelings there by giving me a great push to help my self more.

I’m on about 6 different tablets and this has taken me 7 yrs to get the sweet spot but I still have bad days just as any one would who did not suffer from depression.

try standing back a little and looking at what’s actually made you feel bad unhappy anxious that day or the day before.

Good luck
