Can't think clearly,always sleepy and foggy ,feel so sad,lazy,depressed ,can't seem to get any work at home done or outside.
Can't have any hobbies or meetings with family and friends.
This is ruining my career and home life as I am scared to leave home and not worked in past 2yrs.
Taking Zoloft is also not helpful.
How can I get better ...so hopeless. shocked

Depression can hit home but the good news you can make a change in your life. By telling yourself things are going to get better and slowly come out of your shell. What I mean come out of your shell is to introduce yourself back to your hobbies and meeting with family and friends, go and spend a few minutes with them and with time bring a little more time with them, this can be a slow process but soon you will be on your way out of your depression. With the proper treatment counseling and change of medication you will be soon on your way to recovery.

On or two things you must do or not do, do nothing or do something about your problem.

Hi

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time at the moment.

Have you been to see your doctor recently? It may be that you need an increase in your Zoloft or a change to a different antidepressant.

I find Mindfulness Meditation really helpful so maybe something you could look into there are lots of videos on youtube. Also take a look at our resources thread for some useful links to self help guides

I hope you start to feel better soon

Hi chilly, I'm so sorry you are feeling like this. Please know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, you will see it again I promise. I know things are dim right now, I agree with Hibee and think talking to your doctor about upping the dose of zoloft or maybe adding something to it, or maybe something new all together is your first step.

Take alook at our resources for helpful, self help links. I hope you can feel better soon. Please keep posting with us, we will walk this journey with you.

Even the word hopeless, has hope in it.

Follow the advice of those who have already posted. One more thing is that the more we dwell on our problems, the bigger they are to overcome. Don't chase recovery by overthinking, let it come to you, and it will. Slowly but surely.
