Because of the 14-16 hour day, 7 day a week law position I inherited after another attorney left, and I was new and afraid to speak up. I had inherited over 200 cases the former attorney had not touched and the deadlines for doing anything for most of these cases was very quickly approaching. I remember coming home exhausted n a Sunday and just was so tired and frustrated I actually told a close friend that I didn't know if I was working to live or living to work. But I guess I did do something right, even if just plowing through, being extremely under paid, because I knew the injured people in these cases needed help. All I seemed to do was get a little sleep and work. Don't know how I did it, but I did. Didn't even want to get up out of the 4 hour night sleep, because I felt it would never change.

I also did not like my job at all and suffered each morning going to the office. Then I started taking medication and everything went much much better (in the same job). I just stopped taking meds 2 months ago and symptoms are coming back.

Talk to your doctor and change medication, maybe Zoloft is not for you or it is too soon to take effect.

Hang in there, it is going to pass

I mentioned that to the dr and he insists I stay on it I'm like no ! So I'm gonna get. Second opinion

Wanted to leave you another reply. In my first I just explained I had felt like you. This time I want to say I appreciate how you are feeling, and sometimes depression and indifference are sneeky SOBs, and will take every opportunity to dominate you. Perhaps it's time to contact your RX doctor and explain what is happening, including any changes in your life that you did not mention in the post. Please keep in contact with a friend to let someone know you're going through this. Even if your medication is the cause, and it is changed, it may take awhile for it and your body to adjust. Please don't think this is forever.
