Been on Zoloft for about 6 weeks now and I gotta say, I forgot what it felt like to wake up and not immediately feel dread. The first few weeks were rough with side effects but my doctor said it would pass. Went to the park with my sons yesterday without checking my phone every 5 seconds. Small wins but they feel huge right now.
That's huge man. Really glad the Zoloft is working for you. It's wild how different the world looks when your brain chemistry is actually cooperating. Stick with it even when you feel good, that's the key.
So glad you found something that works. Six weeks in and you're already noticing the difference is huge, that's real progress.
That waking up feeling is everything, man. Congrats on taking that step and sticking with it through the rough weeks. You deserve to feel human again.
This is awesome to hear. Takes guts to start medication and even more guts to give it time. Your family is probably noticing the difference in you too.
This is awesome to hear. The fact that you woke up and didn't immediately feel like the day was already too much is everything. I went through something similar and it changed my entire relationship with being a dad.
So happy for you. That feeling of just being able to breathe again is life changing. Keep doing your thing and be proud of taking care of your mental health.
6 weeks in and already feeling human is a great sign. The first few weeks were rough for me but getting to where you are now makes all the difference in how you show up for your kids.
This resonates. Being a better dad starts with taking care of yourself first. Happy you found something that works. That's real strength right there.
Real talk, getting on medication was one of the best decisions I made as a parent. You're not alone in this and I'm glad you found something that works. The kids notice the difference too, even if they can't articulate it.

Congrats man, that's huge. Six weeks in and you're already noticing the difference. I'm two months in on Lexapro and same thing, it's like someone turned off the constant noise in my head. How's it affecting your patience with the kids?
