I've been taking 100mg for about 4 years now. It was honestly the best decision that I ever made. It saved me. I remember in the beginning being so shocked that this was what "normal" felt like šŸ˜†
the only down side that I experienced was that it made me very sleepy, So I started taking it at night before bed. Thankfully I didn't have any negative side effects and was lucky to find something that worked so well on my first try

thank you for letting me know your experience

Right now I’m only at 25 mg. I started it almost 2 weeks ago. It gave me side effect, like jitters and insomnia. But that was expected. Now they kinda subsided. I think I might have to go up on my doses because I don’t think it’s doing much for me.

I started on Zoloft! It does affect everyone completely differently I was also one of those peoples that went numb. I was very apathetic and didn't care in general, so my doctor asked me how I felt and I said oh idk? I don't feel much of anything these days and i'm unable to cry. She asked if I cared if i died and i said no so she took me off it lol she said we didn't want that! it's too extreme. I ended up trying many antidepressants and only last year we realized they don't work for me because I have a different type of mood disorder, so we switched the type of medication! If you're feeling weird personally definitely let them know, there's so many options!

My doctor gave me sertraline which is a form of it. I've been doing pretty good. Some things still trigger my anxiety, but it's not as bad. I was recommended to take it at night which it helps me sleep as well.

I tried Zoloft and it wasn’t right for me. I had bad insomnia even after just taking it for 3 days. I stopped.

Zoloft has been a great friend to me. Like others have said, and it's the case for any antidepressant, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone.

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ā€˜nice hands’ ā€˜be gentle’ ā€˜let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

Of these two, which seems more overall ā€œdemandingā€ to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down šŸ«¶šŸ¼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.
