    About Me

    Mother of 2 young men, ages 23 and 26. Love to knit, cook, hike, ski and snowshoe. Lived in "the house that never failed to disappoint" for 8 years until we practically gave it away. This is the issue that pushed me over the edge! Sold it and have been out since 7/15. We're now living in the mountains. I feel the stress and anxiety getting better every day now and I'm almost feeling human again. I've been taking Zoloft since early June (2008). Started with 50 mg per day and I'm now on 100 mg. I can't believe what a difference it's made. Before, I had lost interest in all of my hobbies and life in general. Now I'm just as happy as can be.

    Interests

    Knitting, cooking, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing

      Thank you so much for your note. It meant so much to me. I guess as proof of how stressed I feel, reading it made me start to tear up a but. I'm a 30 year-old man sitting at my desk at work, and I'm starting to cry over your little note of support! Crazy. But thank you so much. And I read you "about me" section and I am so happy for you that things are going well for you. That is so wonderful!!

    • Close Anxiety

      For 55 years, I never had any problems with anxiety. All of a sudden I have one major issue (my house) come up and I can't seem to cope. I feel like a failure because I can't deal with this. About to start Zoloft.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Considering
      Going to start it today (6/8/08).
    • Close Depression

      Not sure that I'm suffering from depression, but I have a lot of anxiety.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      I've only been on 50 mg for 12 days. Have just had my first anxiety free day. My mouth is very dry and I sometimes get sleepy. Only side effects so far.
