How do you all manage anxiety or that unpeaceful feeling. From a week, I am feeling lots of uneasy feeling, after my symptoms returned, and it stays the whole day. I was doing 90% better before. I am taking Zoloft 37.5mg.
Hi guys!
I have had pppd since may 2025 and it got worse in July 2025 but after taking Zoloft since December 2025, and doing VRT (which I stopped some months back) I was back to 90% normal with varying symptoms daily but with less intensity.
Sorry for the long read... 😭
However, since a week now (June 25), I have had returning symptoms (less dizziness but other things) such as heaviness and off feeling in the arms and legs, wanting to move my legs all the time to feel a little better, especially when doing something like eating, I constantly keep moving my legs. I have become really hyper aware of my body again, like I can actually feel my hip sitting on a chair and unconsciously tense my body. It feels awful and disgusting, that I end up holding my breath. I have been distracting myself with watching tv, and seem like I need to constantly do something to be distracted but this is making me feel tired and I feel like I am trapped and need to escape from my body. I don't feel at peace and constantly thinking about my symptoms.
I feel awful in my body (but rn there is barely any dizziness) but more so really bad feeling in my limbs and feeling so "off" and bad that I don't want to talk to anyone or I just zone out and want to be alone. for example, I talk to my mom and all of a sudden I only focus on myself because I feel terrible and i feel like my breathing is unnatural and I just don't feel normal in my arms, legs, hips. Another example is I was trying to do my makeup and had to stop multiple times like my body is malfunctioning and I can't do a task normally, had to stop, tell myself I am okay, the bad feeling will go away and continue, and when I got distracted by some guests, all my symptoms almost disappeared. I also feel like I need to do everything really quickly, like eating very fast as in i am in a hurry. 😭😭😭 maybe this is because of some stress, because my mom is going overseas for 2 weeks and I feel like how will I survive without her as she has been with me through out this whole time and only she understand my things, there was some work stress as well and body image stress as well since I gained 50 pounds since starting Zoloft. I am finding myself overthinking, thinking how I can deal with this forever, if this will stay like this and just spiraling sometimes
Any reassuring words, tips, etc. right now, it feels terrible, and like something is awfully wrong in my body.
