I lost my youth to severe anxiety. Bed rotted for 2 years. 24-26. Iwent from being scared to move, scanning every body sensation, being scared to go to the corner convenience store let alone go out, being scared to take a serving of food by myself, HUNDREDS of ER visits, Countless doctor visits, doom scrolling on this subreddit, posting here if i should stop taking zoloft, asking if the side effects are worth it , crying everyday and thinking I'm better off d34d,... TO deep cleaning my room today, going to multiple places in one day by my own, folding my own laundry to prepare for summer, searching for a job, going to the convenience store for just ice cream, WORKING OUT!? Not even crying once for 2 months, NO rumination, no bad thoughs, no scanning body sensations and much more. I am VERY grateful to the goated scientists and doctors who created this medication. I am forever grateful. I got my life back, wasn't easy to get used to the med but, you HAVE to feel worse in order to feel better. And if you're prescribed and scared to take the med right now, believe me, it's worth it.
