Feeling Inadequate: Is It Just Me?

Have you ever tried Zoloft or a mood stabilizer? It's what got me back into a normal mood with minor ups and downs. Every so often I get peaks. Welcome to talk to me more in depth about it. I know what it's like even though I have a 5 year old and I'm married. Drop me a message if you want.

I've taken Lexapro in the past. I'm no longer on it though. I currently suffer from pharmacophobia, the fear of taking medication. I'm looking for ways outside of medication but if push comes to shove I may need to look into something like zoloft..

Hi! I’m here to say that, while it might not “end,” it can get a lot lot better! I struggled a lot with depression until about a year and a half ago. I was doing a ton of therapy, IOP, and trying all sorts of meds and nothing seemed to help. I felt like a huge failure and disappointment and that I was causing everyone in my life pain. Eventually I realized I wasn’t actually trying to get better, because I didn’t believe I was capable. The day I chose to believe I WAS capable -and deserving- of feeling better was the day my life changed!! This is only my experience. Whatever you’re going through, it’s valid. Where you are right now is completely ok, but it isn’t where you’ll always be 💘

I feel this like I'm just stuck in a rut

I'm so sorry you're feeling that way. I have those days, but that's part of being torn down repeatedly for years by a narcissistic spouse. However, I'm learning that I AM good enough and I DO matter. I have various pep talks with myself daily. Try it, maybe it'll give you a slight boost. Wishing you the BEST AND MORE! B
