Zoloft says it will all be ok...
Hmmm, I can only write about this here... after hearing many stories of potential employers searching the names of interview candidates online to see what they can find about them... I'm a little afraid of writing anything too personal on Facebook. Plus, my whole family, and possibly every person on the planet has friended me on FB, so I really can't vent about anyone there. Anyways, this is not a vent post. This is about my new friend, Zoloft.
My family has been telling me for several years that they think I suffer from depression and that I should consider getting some help in pill form to balance my wobbly brain chemicals. With many life changes on the horizon, and some little panic attacks starting again, I finally talked to my doctor about it. And here I am, a week into Zoloft. I feel... better. I went to the zoo the other day with my roomate and realized on the way there that I just felt happy. Not happy with the undercurrent of stress and pensive moodiness and brooding-about-everybody's-problems-and-what-to-do-about-them, but just happy. And it's been quite a while since I felt just happy. I have emotional floaties now and I feel like my head is above water. I'm still in an ocean of problems, but I feel like I can at least see the horizon and try to swim for it, not just thrash in the water and struggle for the next breath.
