I'm sorry you were sad today and also glad to hear of the self-care things you're doing.

Do you have an appt to see Dr. anytime soon to discuss the zoloft? I can't remember how long it's been- 2 or 3 weeks on it? But they should've told you to check in with them and maybe it's just not the one for you. I have the dubious distinction of having tried all the SSRIs and all other SNRIs, etc. out there. Well, you have to be good at something, right? Zoloft has been the best, least side effects one for me, but there are lots of other options out there- I don't know what dosage you're on, but depending on MD's philosophy, if they started high or something, it may be worth lowering it. You may know, but the lowest therapeutic dosage is 25mg but I think hardly anyone takes that little (I did til this damn S and D talk, then I doubled mine about 4 weeks ago- I think it's definitely keeping me more even keel); many people take much more. Anyway- ask about your options. I know how yucky it is to have side effects- that on top of depression (esp if it's affecting your sleep) is NOT what you need.

I hope your mood has lifted a bit tonight--

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go;
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow;
Go ask Alice...
I think she'll know.
