I broke down and took my first Zoloft today 😞

I’ve had the prescription for about six months now. I’ve been terrified to take it. I’ve been waiting to get into therapy. But no one has called me yet. I’m at my wits end. I can’t take the anxiety and intrusive thought loops anymore. So I broke down and took the pill. With no love or support from my so-called partner. Hes telling me that he doesn’t support it. Thinks it’s a bad idea. I’m like what other options do I have? I feel like I’m completely losing control of myself and am in a very dark place. I need to do something. And I need support and love from somebody along the way. I feel so alone.

Well done.

All of these medications are a worry, but the alternate is worse.

Don't expect miracles from it and indeed, you may have to try other ones.

However, you have taken a great step in looking after yourself:)

@Zeusdelight thank you. I just wish my partner felt the same way. I wish that he would give me love and support through this instead of belittling me, and tearing me down, saying I made a mistake.

@DisarrayedNightshade A lot of people have no understanding of this disease. Some are too challenged to want to understand.

@Zeusdelight true. Some are also just too self-centered and lack compassion for others.

@Notsimilarreally he’s a classic text book narcissist.

I had an allergic reaction and had to stop taking it now I’m scared to try anything else. I don’t do medication I’m a naturalist I was trying antidepressants out of desperation.
