Question about depression and body dysmorphia - what should I do?

I can really empathize with how you are feeling. I strongly feel that you need to have counseling along with taking Zoloft. You should not discontinued the Zoloft if you feel like it helps you, ever. You have chronic mental health issues that are greatly affecting your quality of life. You might have to take anti-depressants for the rest of your life.I was put on Zoloft without any beneficial effects and I suffered extreme side effects. Why don't you give yourself a few weeks and see if the medication helps you. Your feelings are quite normal. Your a full time mother and a student, that's alot on your plate to deal with.You do sound like you have a depressive disorder but you are taking all the right steps to help heal yourself. Try to do something every day that makes you happy. Wait until you have been on the Zoloft and your counseling before you make any decisions. You could be over whelmed with everything that you are trying to accomplish. You are very, very normal, take care, Donna
