    Thanks suzi , that does sound similar to me . My whole mindset changes in the summer. I become very negative and loose self confidence. I notice in spring I will feel uneasy and everything seems surreal. This is usually the start of it .
    I do wonder if pollen is having an impact on my moods .
    I am really hoping this increase in sertraline will help .
    I am actually feeling a bit more relaxed this evening.

    Hi , I just wanted to update , it has now been 3 weeks since I increased to 150mg . The anxiety seems to be easing apart from first thing in the morning, then as the day goes on it gets better , I am almost feeling like I can turn negative thoughts into more positive thoughts which is a start I suppose. I feel a bit like in a bubble and feel hopeful I will start to feel human again soon . Hope you are all well , and I really appreciate your support. Thank you

    That’s really great to hear, Noel
    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.

    Me again , I have had a bad day today, had some vivid nightmares in my sleep last night and all day today feel very low and depressed.
    Although the anxiety has improved. I have heard the anxiety gets better before the depression with sertaline . It is now almost 4 weeks since I increased to 150mg . As I have been on 100mg for 20years I have forgotten what it’s like to increase the dosage . I can’t see light at the end of the tunnel just yet . I hope this is just a blip ? I am really hoping this increase will work for me .

    There is light, hunni, but it’s not a straight line to it. The fact it’s helping the anxiety is a positive sign. Hang on in there

    Hang in there. It can take just as long for an increase to take effect as it can for a drug to take effect in the first place. Try and be patient. You are doing amazingly.
