Hi, Nikki, and welcome. Can I ask what meds you’re on and how long you’ve been taking them? Do you have support from family and friends?

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Sertraline i have been on it for less than a week but i have tried other meds. My family knows but they dont really understand. Im trying to talk to my mum about things but sometimes she makes me feel worse.
Perhaps if you both look at the Time to Change website it may help your conversations https://www.time-to-change.org.uk
New anti-depressants take 4-8 weeks to really take effect and every time you start/change the meds the 4-8 weeks starts over. Plus, if you’ve been coming off other ADs, you’ll be experiencing withdrawal symptoms. Lovely, your body is going through a lot of changes at the moment so you really need to take time to look after yourself
