I have been on Sertraline (currently top dose) for almost two years following PND and OCD intrusive thoughts. I am much more functional now, and have definitely experienced some happier times.
However, I don’t feel recovered at all. Still get horrible depression which comes out of nowhere, struggle to feel anything or feel emotional, and feel like there’s a horrible dark weight inside me. It’s an awful feeling, and sometimes I feel as though I’ve made no progress at all! Have had EMDR and CBT also.
Wondering if the Sertraline is still right for me. Has anyone tried something different to help lift them out of the fog? The OCD is more manageable now (although still present) but I want to feel as though I’m out of the fog more often than not.
I know I’ll probably live with some form of depression forever now as a result of trauma and loss. But not willing to stop trying anything that might help!
Two years ago felt as though I shouldn’t be around anymore - so if you are feeling that - please keep going and seek any help you can get xxx
