“You seem to be doing better.”

You seem to be doing better. You’re a lot different from when we first met. You see very bubbly and happy.

I guess increasing my Sertraline to 150mg really did make a major difference. Maybe I didn’t notice it myself because it’s a gradual change, but I really appreciated that being pointed out to me from an outside perspective.

I thought I was always a bubbly person (in person), and I never realized that I wasn’t like that for a short period of time. Looking back, I can hardly remember anything from that period and I guess it’s because I was depressed then. I remember not feeling particularly excited about anything and fatigued, which led to my requesting an increase to 100mg in January.

To me, I’ve been feeling fatigued since the beginning of the year, and it feels like such a long year that I don’t remember the last time I didn’t feel fatigued. But now that I had that outside perspective, I can see that I am in a much more energized and social state than previously. I’m even reaching out to friends to spend time together. Even though my social battery is still about 4 hours, it’s better than 0 hours.

Although, I do think I still need to give myself a hard reset and maybe have a solid month where I give myself a social break.
