Hi everyone
I have been on sertraline for about 6 months I'm currently taking 150mg,I've come a long way I was severely depressed with anxiety and phycosis....I'm still quite anxious and my thoughts are still there I don't feel like me I'm getting to the stage of wanting to give up,I find everyday a battle can't enjoy life I don't know if it's me holding myself back I can't seem to move on ....I just want some advice please xx
Have you had any kind of talking therapy such as CBT? Having done a bit, I think this might help you to get back on track if you're feeling held back. Techniques like behavioural activation help you plan activities that you've stopped doing, in a way that's achievable and helps you build back up.
Maybe talk to your GP about this if you haven't already?
Locally I can self refer to the NHS Mental Health Talking Therapy Service. Maybe that is available in your area?
If you have the resources I would also recommend Counselling from a recommended professional. I have found the sessions I have to be very useful indeed for getting things straight in my head.
