Wow! I always seem to find something useful here at just the right time...
I've been taking 50mg of Zoloft a day for about the last 3 months... it
did help my depression... I don't feel like I cry all the time anymore,
or cry at the drop of a hat... unfortunately, I don't feel anything... it's
the apathy y'all are talking about. I've been trying to decide which is
worse to me... not feeling anything, or crying all the time. For now, for
me, the crying all the time is worse. Right now, I'll take apathy. Mind you,
I don't like it, and it doesn't fit in my overall lifestyle, which I try to
keep pretty upbeat when possible, is still better.
I don't know... maybe I'm a freak.
Also, I too, am an artist... I write poetry, and I've found that since being on
the Zoloft, I can't write anything worth a damn. It's all a bunch of rambling...
like the words don't make sense, and they don't make me feel things the way I used
to...
Hmmm... come to think of it, my poetry has always been a little on the down side
anyway. Maybe I write better when I'm depressed?
Who knows...
But it's definately something to think about.
Thanks once more for helping me look at things in a different way!!Joanne
