Terrible Depression

I am so miserably depressed.
My bf thinks I should give Zoloft a try… I am afraid of gaining weight on it.

I do not feel good. I am only patching my sorrow :dagger: :heart: by temporary things.

What the hell is this? How long will I suffer like this?

Maybe a med change is needed. It’s a shame so many of the drugs to treat us make us gain weight.

I only recently switched to this med from Abilify… I do not want to go back on Abilify… This is the best med by far…

It seems after quitting smoking everything went downhill in a horribly fast way

Is there something that bothers you which causes your depression? I know living far from family and home can cause depression. Or is it the illness simply rearing its ugly head?

What often causes my depressing thoughts is that I have no place in this world. Like I don’t belong or fit in.

I’m sorry that your feeling so low lately @mermaid1.
Hang in there and consider trying new antidepressants.

I am not sure…

my mind is getting stretched so far that normal people do not bother with. So I guess something can be fixed by medicine.

Yeah probably. We often have upsetting thoughts with the illness or at least worry too much at times.

Why don’t you go back on 80mg/80mg?

How long ago did you quit smoking? Maybe a little nicotine replacement therapy would help? It is a stimulant after all. Also, when I smoked there were so many rituals and associations I had with the addiction that THOSE were harder to let go of then the actual cigs. I was very depressed when I first quit smoking. Like I didn’t know what to do after meals anymore and just spaced out.
