Can this pattern be altered or should I chose another one?

I fell in love with the Iona Trench from Daughter Judy. The removable liner and all the small details are a must for me! However, it seems to have dropped shoulders, which isn’t the most flattering style for my body type.

I’m wondering if it would be possible to alter the pattern to have a regular shoulder instead. Is that doable, or would it be easier to add the removable liner feature to another trench pattern with a shoulder style that suits me better?

I consider myself an advanced intermediate. I never altered a pattern before.

I’ve been (F31) on 50mg sertraline for maybe 4-5 years now. Gone up during a burnout episode 3 years ago, then back down to 50. (Edit: I wrote 50mg, but I just checked the bottle and it’s 100mg)

Until recently, sertraline is the best thing that ever happenned to me! Made me functional, no more panic attacks, no ugly crying everyday, just… peace? I was sooooo okay with taking them for the rest of my life.

Hubby keeps repeating how unbothered I am when stressors arise. I won’t lie, I’ve been feeling pretty numb lately. I often feel like I want to cry but… can’t?! I want to give up all responsibilities so bad and curl up in bed for days but… can’t?! I also feel extremely exhausted, can’t concentrate or find motivation for literally anything (work, hobbies, eating,…). I sweat so much at night, and my dreams are getting weirder and weirder. I guess it’s a good thing I’m a spectator of my emotions instead of a victim, but this feels weird. Like really weird. It almost feels like depression, but past the point of crying.

I’m questioning if I should ask to lower the dose to eventually go off it. Not only because I don’t feel benefits anymore, but also to get pregnant in the next couple of years.

Has anybody stopped feeling benefits at some point? What did you do?

Sorry if my English is bad 🇨🇦
