Depression is something that is possible to overcome. I suffered from extreme depression from the age of 7 to 27. This might sound crazy, but one way to help beat depression is to constantly think about what you can be thankful for in life. It could be the smallest of things like being thankful for having fingers, having 2 legs, being able to see and hear, having clothes, shelter, etc. The process takes time but it changes your way of thinking. It creates a mental habit of optimism.
@Mikey1966015 жыл бұрын
Jordan Jay , I tried that and I have tons of things to be thankful for yet none of that helps because Im always dwelling on the negative and some are just insignificant BS and then the anxiety kicks in , sometimes I go to bed in a high anxiety mood and it takes some time to fall asleep and once asleep I wake up Ann then I wake up and almost immediately I think of something that gets my anxiety going. That’s not every evening or morning though, I couldn’t imagine having the feeling more often.

I had repeating mania highs and depressive lows. My last 4 days have been, as you say, neutral. It's so nice to have quiet in my head and the ability to look at my list of tasks without getting worked up over them. Infact, some tasks are going to be dropped which is unheard of for me.

@BobBeatski715 жыл бұрын
@@Salai_Dante Sure. My symptoms were: having a tremendous amount of energy focused into a subject. It would either be a design problem that needed fixing or the opportunity to enhance some process or even simply an idea "that I should research to my fullest abilities". I didn't consider any of those things as irrational even if other people didn't want to know, were'nt interested and the outcome did not benefit me personally or wasn't related directly to my professional work at the time. (I used to work at Nokia R&D. Lots of problems to fix, lots of clever people, so I was happy as a bug in a rug.) My doctor told me, my excited state of mind was a counter effect to my depression (frustration) caused by working with people in a high tech environment who, themselves, were not tech minded. Sertraline has helped me keep a neutral state of mind which has its pros/cons: I don't get upset now nor do I get excited. eg I'm back in work part time. A friend asked if I was excited to get back into new tech projects. No, because I don't feel that emotion anymore, but at the same time I'm no longer suffering from the anxiety caused by my burning irrational need to learn everything in the universe. (I still have my to-do list, but nothing has been added to it for over 3 months now and I'm not concerned I'm not progressing through it quickly or at all.) I will share one more observation: when I do sense the onset of a "super idea"/"mania moment", my brain stalls. Much like a car engine. It is a very strange feeling indeed. I should point out I still read and study and learn, I just don't get carried away with things now. It's all thumbs up. :)

Ssri's like zoloft will not do anything within days. It slowly increases the amount of serotonin in the synapse available for your neurons to utilise when it needs to send a signal. Dose with clinical depression show evidence for a lack of serotonin or a lack of sensitivity for serotonin. If the drug worked within days it would increase the amount of serotonin too fast and you'll suffer serotonin syndrome. Mental illness is greatly subject to plasibo... After all it's a mental illness. Don't allow yourself to perceive changes and just let them happen because if it's a placebo for you than you'll loose trust in the medications once that placebo is no longer In place and all it takes is someone telling it doesn't work. If you read this and your symptoms return... See your doctor and try an snri as that increases dopamine levels which is more link to depression.

You are like me, a very overactive brain that stresses the body out which leads to adrenal fatigue which causes the irritability. Adrenal fatigue is why people start drinking a ton for coffee, because they lack the adrenaline to give them the boost. The problem only gets worse adding caffeine to an already stressed out body because it can create terrible insomnia.

It’s only my first day on zoloft. I’m yawning 24/7! Also I usually have an easy time falling asleep but here I am watching your video at 1:30AM. I’m tired but can’t sleep. I’ve experienced a dull headache throughout the day too. Also my stomach feels empty but I don’t want to go anywhere near food. I just have no desire for it. I know it sounds crazy cause it’s only day one but the side effects are definitely real.

@@natalievillanueva5387 Okay so I’m not going to tell anyone what they should and shouldn’t take because everyone is different… but for me taking Zoloft was the biggest mistake of my life as it made me extremely suicidal and even manic. I was never able to sleep on this medication and constantly thought suicidal thoughts. It made me impulsive as well and I was saying and doing things that I never would have previously done. Again, this is just me and everyone is different but I had better luck with Cymbalta and even Buspirone for my anxiety or just not taking meds at all. All antidepressants I took kept me awake at night and gave me restless leg syndrome. I know many people who do take antidepressants and do well. All i can say is try it but with caution. Let others know how you are feeling and how its affecting you. Don’t keep it to yourself like I did. Good luck!!

@@natalievillanueva5387 After years of anxiety and depression I finally made the decision to start Zoloft. I’m on day 3 of taking half a dose, which is 25 ml and then at day 14 I take 50 ml. So far so good. I’ve had a few small side effects but nothing too crazy. I have a 10 and 12 year old and a 9 month old to take care of so it’s been challenging but I know it will get better, as it takes awhile to feel the full effect. So far it’s been the best decision I’ve made in a very long time. But it’s definitely not for everyone since every body is different. Good luck

To be honest, I stopped taking them because I only needed them for occasional anxiety. So I never needed them to begin with. I keep a box of prescribed beta-blockers now. Only take them 30 mins before doing something stressful like going to a very crowded wedding, job interview and etc. But that's like once or twice a month.

开花 Kai Hua yes!! Finally something that actually worked. At first I had some side effects like feeling like I was starving, shivering, feeling like I was going to pass out occasionally, and overall just feeling like shit for the first week. I got over it and it has worked wonders. I’m not saying that everyday is rainbows and sunshine but I can say that I am genuinely happy with life and honestly never thought that I’d be able to say that again after what I had been through. Though everyone’s bodies react differently to different medications, Zoloft has worked for me and I can honestly say it saved my life. I hope it helps you as well

开花 Kai Hua I have not tried lexapro. The medications I tried before Zoloft was Paxil, Prozac, Amitriptyline, Wellbutrin, and now Zoloft. I was also prescribed propanolol and hydroxyzine for sleep and panic attacks to take when needed. I’m not a fan of taking pills so I’m now just taking Zoloft and I have CBD gummies that help when I’m anxious. Though the first week is always hell when starting an antidepressant, do you think it’s helping or think it’s going to work when the side effects pass? And just wondering, how old are you? Because I know these medications work differently for different ages. I’m 18

It could be all in her head or could've been because that was over a year ago when she posted this, I think. But my doctor told me that it could work instantly because of the rush of serotonin. I think every single person has a different reaction. I notice people who research the medication and read and watch reviews, tend to overthink the whole process.
