Just wanted a little brag really. Been on sertraline for the last year or so due to health anxiety and social anxiety.
I used to be horrendous if someone didn't text me back, or I thought I'd upset someone. I would lie awake worrying for nights on end.
Anyway, I've got a close friend and I've noticed she's been a LOT quieter the past month or so. I've obviously done something to annoy her (although when I see her in person she's nice as pie in front of others)
Anyway, I just wanted to brag about how calm I feel about the whole scenario. She's got form for falling out with people, and quite honestly if she won't speak to me then I can't resolve anything so no point in stressing over it.
I'm gutted of course, but it feels so good not to be consumed by it.

I’m glad that Sertraline is working well for you. I’m on a low dose and it helps. However I just wanted to comment because I am that person who can take weeks months to get back to a text but I really don’t mean anything by it, so please don’t take it personally. If someone is properly trying to ghost you, you’ll find out eventually.

Thank you!
I think she's trying to ghost me though. She used to like and comment on every Facebook post, we would text multiple times a day, met up most weeks. And it's fine, people move on!
But now I am lucky if she replies once in a week! I don't constantly text, don't worry!
And it's just random stuff like "do you want to share lifts to dance practice on Tuesday" etc etc. I might get a message back a week later replying!

Maybe she is feeling anxious or depressed herself and hasn't got the energy to reply quickly ? Obviously I don't know her, but she could be withdrawing from friends in general, maybe not just you ?
