2nd round of depression due to a bitter breakup (unexpectedly dumped). I took a few days off work.

On my 6th day of Zoloft at 25mg and 1 mg of Ativan. I feel zombie-like, indifferent from the outside but plagued by flashes of everything good & bad that happened in the that relationship. I tell myself stop thinking that, but it comes back like a pendulum.

I'm sitting in front of my computer at work, just numb with the same thoughts, how do i stop? even if I'm doing something i multitask that and the maladaptive thoughts.

Also, this cloudy, spacey, indifferent-like state, like you almost have a headache but don't, is that zoloft or ativan?

I went to a clinic seeking counseling services, they're swamped but said they'd give me a call for a referral or see if someone can help since I pay cash. If they don't call today I'll tomorrow. I know it will be a week before I can get to someone. I don't know what to do in the meantime. Its easier to be in bed than anything else. My friends are starting to go away, they can't handle being there for me and I understand.

I'm so sorry. If it's not that person, another one will come. For the time being, focus on your recovery.

Try using that sadness to create something out of it. Write, draw, paint. Anything you like doing in order to get it out of you.

If your friends can't stand beside you and give you moral support, then they aren't real friends. Look on the internet for a local support group. Try with NAMI.org. They have a local group right in my city and I didn't even know.

I am sorry you are going through this.

I am on Zoloft, and have been for years. My wife says I am zombie-like or on autopilot. Could be meds, could be depression.

Hang in there.
