I got loads of side effects, but many others get very few if any. I wouldn’t let it put you off if you ever feel you need meds to help

I do, i’ve learnt to live with it as well now without meds. Some days worse than others, but personally it would have to get pretty bad for me to try meds again.
Its quite frightening just how many even on here are suffering from it in one form or another. Its also quite good that so many are willing to talk about it

Speak to your GP there are other meds available. I’m steady on Sertraline same dose as you but it doesn’t work for everyone. Lass at works husband was on it, switched to Mirtazipine and it sorted him out.
Keep your chin up.

Thank you, and thanks to the other people who replied.
I'm close to being due a med check in with the doc, so I think I'll get that booked in. Its been happening for weeks, but tonight was very close to actually chucking up. Once I forced food in, I was fine.

Well. Its only 12.40 and this I the worst day I can remember.
Had a nightmare with work, a massive project just went horribly wrong, and whether fairly or not, my name is all over the email chains.
And then the house buyers have pulled out - bad enough in itself, but top it off with a load of problems flagged by the surveyors.
On my own till 6pm, got people expecting all sorts from me today, and I feel like running away.

Mate, don’t run away, write down and list what you need to do to sort each problem, prioritize and work through them. The list gets you focused, add notes to each list item as you go, as most wont be solved straight away. A little economic truth with stave some off till you gain control. I start up million to billion dollar projects where owners want flesh wnen it goes tits up, it works for me.

Problems of today won’t be in 6 months time they rarely are.
Take a deep breath and relax.
I forgot to add, when it crosses the line, I basically cut paste my plan to the mighty, they see I have things going on to control the situation, they back off. Just continue and follow through.

I've taken a lot from this thread. A couple of years ago me and the Mrs (of course not) split up. Following a GP appointment (Setraline), and some counselling, I was feeling pretty decent. Kids are all good, no Solicitors, sorted it out ourselves. But, last weekend I bombed. Just, had nothing. Went to GP, emergency appointment, going to have some more counselling. No idea where it came from, I've told people about the feeling of emotional paralysis. Never happy, never sad, never angry, never comfortable. There was no dynamic, normal range of feelings. I'm getting there, but it is hard work. I tend to know when a down is coming, and can manage it. This last one caught me out completely.

This. The best way is to prioritise and make people aware of the order you are tackling things in. You only have capacity to do so much in a day so tell people to escalate to management if they are not happy.
I've learned recently that it helps to be a bit selfish and work to the agreed tasks otherwise it's easy to be overloaded when people come to you from all sides. It's not about being a bastard with people, just setting expectations. It's the easiest thing in the world from someone to pass you work and say you are the owner of it now without asking if you can cope with it.
The wife is School Nurse at a Special Needs School. When she started she was overloaded with requests from the staff to do this clinic or that clinic now and ended up stressed to bits. She put some structure in and now if someone comes to her about something she says 'Sorry I only do that on a Wednesday afternoon so can you come back then'.

I'm not actually going to bolt, got a wife and kid. But today felt like being shot.
List making can come later, for now I need to calm down and get myself back together. No isn't a time for tackling anything.
This house has been a problem for 8 years, and I thought it was finally over. But no. Could be thousands of pounds to go yet.

I`m nearly in tears every morning simply because i`ve woken up yet again and got to face the long drag till bedtime. Worse thing is i can`t even find a trigger for it

So, the other people may have to wait up to a week and get stressed - sounds like a vicious circle.

It’s the school holidays for me. I don’t think I’m depressed or anything, I just can’t cope with having time on my hands. I find my head going into overdrive. Overthink and worry about everything! I was prescribed Sertraline a couple of years ago but stopped it after a couple of weeks. I don’t like the feeling of not being in control. (And for those on here who know me, shh!)
Been suffering recently. Had no issues ever in 20+ years of work, then had a breakdown at work around 3 weeks ago through workload, being left on my own, no gaffer to report to etc. Shaking, crying, freezing cold and sickness with nerves. Doc appointment resulted in sicknote for anxiety and stress. Scary how it comes on, work have accepted they are at fault. Back this week, hopefully all goes ok.
I feel for everyone going through worse / gone through similar.

Hopefully if work have accepted they are responsible they will give you a phased return. Also speak to the doc about this because if there’s parts of the job you’d rather not do for a while as well as fewer hours they can put it on the return to work form.
Good luck.
