I spent most of 2019 in a haze of anxiety and depression triggered by my husband's job loss. I took sertraline for 6 months, it took the edge off but the side effects were not welcome. I had some excellent therapy which helped me to wean off the sertraline and in January of this year I really started to feel so much better. Fast forward to June and it's creeping back . . . I think the lockdown has had an adverse effect on my recovery, home schooling, missing family and friends, working from home etc all felt manageable at first but as the weeks have gone on I've found myself starting to feel low, to lack motivation, to feel numb, to feel exhausted, to want to drink more, to find engaging with my loved ones such an effort and to feel like I'm faking it. Perhaps it would have happened anyway, perhaps I didn't stay on the meds for long enough. Who knows. Anyone else feel that this situation has had a reverse effect on their mental health? I have a zoom set up with my therapist but it's not the same, so many of her techniques are hands on!
