Hi everyone , I've been on sertraline for almost 2 years now and I'm almost getting there but recently I got a puppy and here we go again anixiey and overwhelmed just thinking about the things I have to do for the puppy he is all over the house . Needs training and patience , I'm really so so tired and I don't want to go back to square one .
Dont know how bad your anxiety is or the root cause but sounds like your being too hard on yourself. We also have just got a puppy for the first time. They are just like having a baby to a certain extent, but start as you mean to go on with them is my only advice. It you were doing well before the puppy came along on the sertraline, then you will again. Puppy might need your attention but make sure it does not effect sleep patterns etc, our puppy tries it on with us, wanting to get us up at 4am, intially we did this but when we discovered they didnt need the toilet but wanted to play etc straight back in their crate they went and now they have learnt not to try it on.
Thanks for your reply , yes they need alot of attention , I was doing great before the puppy.
My anxiety is like feeling when you get scared also I have this slight of depression that makes me don't want to get out of bed all of that came back with the new puppy. Also low appetite
I'm trying to calm myself down but sometimes it doesn't work .😒
