my health anxiety has been through the roof lately, I started taking sertraline about a month ago have helped a little, I’ve been a mess, none stop worrying, barely eating and my sleeps been terrible not been interested in what I look like. I got up last week and thought enough is enough I’m not going to be like this so I kind of forced myself to slap on a smile and try and enjoy Christmas with my kids, it helped I got dressed sorted my hair out and kept busy, managed to eat and slept a lot better, don’t get me wrong I was still anxious but manageable.

These past few days I’ve slipped straight back to before the anxiety is back through the roof and my sleeping is terrible again I’m constantly waking up and panicked, I don’t understand how I can be ok ish and then it all floods back again

I’m fed up of it all

Sorry for the long post I just feel alone with it all

Hi Get back to your GP, it does take time for this type of medication to work properly, but you need to tell you doctor exactly what you have put here, write it down so you have a reminder what to say, it could be you need a higher dose of Sertaline. I would say try it for 6 months anyway and keep a diary of both good days and bad days. For myself I stopped it as it upset my tummy and it didn't do anything for me. Be kind to yourself and give yourself some slack on bad days and don't worry about how your hair looks, you should see me some days!!! Sending love and prayers Sue
