Hi Shell04, I hope you feel better now. It is a day by day thing. Some days could be better than others, but keep in mind that every day is has its own challenges and triumphs. I understand your feeling and dealing with anxiety is not an overnight cure, but a battle between our minds that we need to face with determination and courage. 

Be well.

Hello Shell04

I haven't ever taken sertraline and so can't comment on that medication.  If your GP has prescribed this and if it has worked for you in the past, then keep focused and believing that it will work again to make you feel much better than you are just now.

Being taken into hospital must have been frightening with all your nasty symptoms. It was good that your Mum was able to come and stay to help with your little baby

You are bound to be struggling with your little son and three other children to take care of.  If the programme suggested by the doctor made you feel worse, then perhaps it is worth ringing the GP and explaining this to him.  Maybe the tablets were too strong..... who knows  There are other tablets that possibly may work.

You have a lovely little family and although it must be hard work for you especially now that you are unwell yourself, keep taking the medication and it will get better. Take things one day at a time Shell.  Some days will be better than others. Big hugs.
