Grief around starting school, meds not working--HELP!

[BetsyNY]

New to this forum, but I need some support. I was dx'd depressive/OCD about fifteen years ago, and have taken Zoloft for the majority of that time. Lately, however, it just doesn't seem to work. I'm having crying spells.

My therapists think (and I tend to agree) that much of this episode is related to my kids starting school, and our derailed homeschooling plans. My kids have special needs, and they're just better off in school right now--maybe not forever, but definitely right now, and I miss them. I'm mourning the end of their babyhoods, and I'm sad that our plans didn't work out.

Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone was going through or had gone through something similar....this sucks.

Sorry you're not feeling well, Mama! Have you spoken to your doctor about adjusting your meds? I think that would be a good second step to all ready talking to your therapist. I recently had my meds adjusted and I finally feel truly well. Sometimes all it takes is a little tweak to find relief. Best wishes!

I put my kids in school september just gone, we had been homeschooling but due to health problems we just couldn't continue and I was and still am gutted not to mention the effect it is having on me physically (I have to walk them there and back and with a kneecap dislocating every few steps it can be somewhat frustrating and hard going).

So yeah, I know how you feel, I was also recently restarted on anti depressants again after being off them for about 10 months. the whole thing is somewhat upsetting, there is more going on than the school thing and my mood though, feels like the whole world has been tipped upside down and I am just barely clinging on...........

Jeez, what a way to bring a fellow depressed person down lol........... At least you know you are not alone lolol!!!!!!!!
