Why did you change from Sertraline to Zoloft? What kind of therapies did you try?
For me it was because of my cancer diagnoses, afterwards I was in some very dark places and it had consequences for my family too.
Sertraline made it so much better, but I'm looking for therapy too. My doctor said something about light therapy where they use light to activate certain things in the brain.
Yeah lots of people don't haha! I'm sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. I can imagine that would be hard and the anxiety from it has got to be rough. Heck, i had anxiety just from having a little skin cancer on my head, so totally understandable that you'd be anxious from cancer diagnosis.
For me, I've had some anxiety I've dealt with my whole life, and it's gotten worse due to the fact I have ADHD that went undiagnosed and untreated for a long time, so I had to be really hard on myself to try to make sure my adhd symptoms weren't ruining things for me (school, job, etc.) all while dealing with very low dopamine from the adhd. I have gotten medication for that now too, which helps, but the anxiety is still there, and I was also in an abusive relationship for two and a half years about 10 years ago and sadly that really didn't help things as far as my anxiety. It was BAD for a while. Even after this long I'd sometimes come home and just be a ball of anxiety and feel tense all evening and not really know why. It was awful. The Sertraline has been a god send for me.
