From the HealthyPlace.com Bulletin Boards: "A Little Scared"

heavyofheart:

"I have generalized anxiety and depression and I've been on 150mg Zoloft for months now, but I'm not finding any relief. I've really hit my low recently. A million thoughts are racing through my head. The smallest things are becoming the biggest chore for me. I'm honestly worried that I might be losing my sanity because of the way my thoughts are so incoherent and abstract. If anyone has any advice, or even some empathy, anything, I would be so grateful." respond here.
