Sorry to hear that. You’re in a bad spot right now so try and watch a funny movie or do something that can take your mind off of your worries. Hang in there.

I just started sertraline myself. I hear it takes up to 6 to 8 weeks to kick in, but It’s different for everyone. Same with all SSRIs.

Taking taking care of yourself when you have a crippling mental illness is a full-time job, and I treated as such. I read a lot of books on the Subject, and I read from a wide range of spiritual disciplines. The spiritual stuff works for me because it gives me a lot of hope. I also recommend Matt Haig’s book “Reasons to stay alive.” Take care of yourself!
