Where are you in your mental health journey? (in treatment, looking for support, on meds, in counseling, having a rough day, etc.) I had my post op follow up follow up today lol. At my post op my OB prescribed me some Zoloft and it has been helping but not 100%, so today he upped the dose. We are hoping that this does the trick and I will follow up again in a month to see if there is any progress. I'm hopeful this is going to work out well. I also got referred to some therapist and I have a few that I have to reach out to and see if they can get me in. I also feel that one I get this set up I will be in a much better mental head space.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling okay. I'm glad that there is a plan and that steps are being taken to get to a better place. I feel like I am not teetering on the edge any more, at least not all of the time. My OB said if before was a 10, how do I feel now, and I told him 5. It's the best way to explain it honestly.
