I have been feeling a depression that is different than usual. I feel a need to almost escape and it is as if everything and every place I think about is just depressing. It is almost like a feeling of going to go crazy if you can't get out.

I cut my sertraline down in half months ago. Was feeling ok and lately I feel horrible. I am very lonely and don't have many people to turn to so that has a lot to do with it!

Just wondering if anyone knows what I mean or can relate? I don't want to take sertraline anymore (think it hinders my ability to move my life on, been on it for ten years and these have been the worst ten years of my life. I have gotten nowhere, only backwards!) But today I had to up my dose to 100 because of way I am feeling.

I have no experience with sertraline, but I do relate to how you currently feel. I get like this, not 100% of the time, but the majority of my day.

I get a feeling kind of like this. I go into a bad flight mode where I'm ready to drop everything and everyone and just take off. In fact I've done it before. I moved to another city and stopped talking to everyone to literally try to escape the pain.

I currently take 250mg of sertraline to combat my depression. I was put on that dose in the hospital.

I don't have a lot of advice, but I can definitely relate.

Yes, handling the environment requires energy. Having a lower energy level in the brain can make it more difficult to handle environmental factors.
