Since a few years back I had a sudden permanent shift of mood and mind, since then I've been struggling to enjoy life and gradually got worse to the point I decided to see a doctor... I don't believe in ghosts but I think something must have stolen my soul.

Just recently went to a doctors appointment, Dad came with me because I was too scared to go alone. Told the doctor just a few important things of how I felt such as just feeling very unhappy and would rather not be here there or anywhere, to be honest all I want to do is curl up into a ball and shrink in the corner of this room but even when I do that I still want to escape... I want to run forever until this feeling goes away, but at this rate it never will.

The doctor says I could very likely be depressed and that he will arrange a few counselling visits for me which I am grateful for deep down since mental health services are very hard to come by. He also prescribed a medication for me and after a long awkward moment I decided that I'll give the medication a shot, because to be honest I feel like that I cannot go on like this for much longer and even though I am terrified of medication I am willing to take the risk if there is a chance that it will make me feel happy again.

To be honest I am very scared and anxious about this whole situation but also hopeful, I am more scared of the medication not working because I will have to feel like this for longer and the longer I won't find the right medication the more its going to seem like pursuing an impossible dream... Honestly, I am not worried about the medication killing me or causing me harm because at this point I don't care, I just want to feel better.

Can't believe I am saying this but I am really desperate with taking the medication for the first time, heard that it will take a while until you first notice the benefits but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

The doctor has ordered a pack of 25mg Sertraline/Zoloft tablets and will be collecting them next Monday.
If any of you people would care to share your experiences with Zoloft please don't hesitate since I would like to know what to expect. Thank you for reading.

I hope it will work out for you!

I can't help you about the Zoloft (I've never been on it) but I can encourage you to be patient. It can sometimes take a few weeks before you'll be feeling better. Many people have to take antidepressants at some point in their lives so don't feel too scared. It is new for you and these sad feelings are probably atypical of you...I hope that you feel better really, really soon.

I took Zoloft years ago and it worked very well. In fact, after a couple of years I was able to come off of it did fine for about a year. I went back on it later but it didn't work as well then so I went on to try other antidepressants.
