i went to the psychiatrist and started with a dosage of 50 mg. i know it will take 2 weeks or so for anything to really change, but i don't really have my hopes up for this since multiple people told me it didn't really help them at all. maybe i'll update this post or make a new one after some time to see if it does anything for me, has anyone recently started zoloft or have taken it before? whats your experience?

i plan on trying zoloft first for my anxiety and depression, i mainly want it to help with my social anxiety. i know some people have had bad experiences with it but i just want to see how it works for me

so many times people ask me if i'm okay or sad and i'm sick of it. i don't know if its because i have a resting sad or stressed out face but it pisses me off. i swear i see everyone else around me able to act all upbeat and friendly and i'm just always awkward, quiet, and don't smile too much. like this is just how i am i'm sick of people coming up to me to tell me to be happy, smile like shut up and let me be. why do i have to conform and act like everyone else when its exhausting and fake when i do it. even when i'm not having extreme anxiety and around people i just act like this and im sick of everyone percieving me as a weirdo. i'm just so angry at "normal" people trying to tell me how to act like fuck off and continue living inside your small box of a world because you're unable to be open minded and understanding

i feel so dead all the time. anxiety drained me, and depression demotivates me. i only want to die when my anxiety spikes and life gets more real. i'm wasting my youth and the last bit of time i have left with my dad. i can't even joke or laugh with my dad i can't do anything, i love my dad but haven't told him in years and i'm no longer the same

hey i feel horrible, im 19 and never had a job and have horrible social anxiety and depression. the one time i tried was when i walked into a cake shop, which took so much courage, and told them i saw their job posting or something and wanted to apply and the manager wasn’t there so i had to leave and it was incredibly awkward and humiliating. i applied online and never heard back. this was like more than a year ago

i have lost motivation for everything and i honestly want to die because i’m a burden and failure and even when i tried to do some exposure therapy, like going to the park, grocery store, etc by myself, once i started my online college class for the summer, i couldn’t do anything else because i keep procrastinating my work and it’s the same cycle over and over again. i am so alone and i can’t even get out of bed sometimes, i’m not fit to live in society and i know things will just keep getting worse because i am too sensitive and would be better off dead. everyone is sick of me and dislikes me anyway and i feel miserable and exhausted over everything

i don't have the courage to kill myself, but i wish i would fall asleep and die. i can't handle anything in life, i am so sensitive. i feel nothing but dread for my future and i am becoming a failure. i just want to escape, i see no point in anything and i am not fit to live in a society like this

my anxiety has just led me to become extremely depressed, i can't find the motivation or point in anything. i'm 19, never had a job, i take online college classes and have been procrastinating my work so much like i never have before. i wish i had a job but the whole process sounds like torture. ive tried going into a cake shop before and asking if they were hiring, manager wasn't there so i applied online and never heard back and didn't have the courage to call or try again. thats the most i have done. the thought of an interview and having co-workers or customers judging me because of how incredibly awkward and horrible i am just makes me give up. i am so behind and i feel like i'm dragging my body around. i seriously sometimes wish i could just sleep and die peacefully because i know that i'll live a miserable life

i’ve been struggling a lot mentally, with depression and anxiety. i really pushed myself today to go somewhere by myself since i almost never go anywhere embarrassingly and i’ve been taking online college classes. i walked around a bit at the park and felt a bit overwhelmed at times but it wasn’t too bad since there weren’t too many people and i knew i didn’t have to interact with anyone.

i decided to push myself further and took some proponolol and drove to the ups store to return a package. i was actually getting anxiety about that, especially since i never done this before. it ended up being okay since the interaction was very minimal. for some reason i don’t feel like i accomplished anything, i don’t feel proud i just feel disappointed that these easy things are so difficult for me. i’m already 19 and can’t do simple tasks, it makes me lose even more motivation. is anyone else in a similar position?
