So since I've been back on Zoloft 50mg for the past month and 2 weeks, I did start to see a gradual change in my mood. I recently started an internship & I've been able to function more than efficiently at work, I look forward to the day's tasks, and generally have not been feeling depressed at all. Also, my anxiety level has diminished greatly! But does anyone ever get the feeling that everything's going well and fine now but kind of anticipate the depression to come back? I mean, by no means do I wish for it to creep in again but from previous experiences I kind of expect it to..... Anyone want to share how they've been doing lately & if you may be able to relate??? Thanx everyone.

I am in the exact same situation as you are. I do have that thought in the back of my mind- like how long will this last? I'm questioning my feelings..

Hello, Acj5114. Remission is great. Enjoy it. You can deal with any changes when and if they occur.

One very good reason for me to feel depressed is because things do appear to be too good to be true. Everything's alright for me. No crisis and not dealing with poor health for myself or anyone close to me. My job that I like is intact and I have some decent money in my savings. Basically, it's all systems go!

There are some things like I like to see improve though. I have only one good friend and that's it. There are times that he can get on my nerves. I get too afraid that I will lose him because of arguing. That's happened to me before. There is not a special someone in my life.

But the main thing for me is that I get a feeling that things are just going to crash down on me and that I wouldn't be able to handle it. I go to Google and look things like that up. It's nice to know that others feel the same way. I feel like I'm experiencing the "calm before the storm". After all, I've been told that's what life is supposed to be like . When the bad times come, I don't look forward to it and wonder if I can handle it.

About 10 days ago, I started feeling significantly better than I have done for months. Five beautiful days, before the anxiety kicked in. Now I feel that I am about to lose everything. I'm terrified that the blood tests I've just had will show up something that means I'll have to stop my ant-depressants, the scan I've just had will show .... well who knows what. Worst of all I fear that those five days were nothing more than the placebo effect.

Yes exactly. I have been doing good since April but I have had these mini three day depression like 4 times.

But I am all the time wondering when is it going to come back full force. Based on my past experience I know it will but these set of meds are working better than any med I have been on.

I figured out I don't know the future and can only take it one day at a time and take advantage of this good period. Maybe it will even last.
