Hi a keep in touch with doctors on sertaline highest dose but feel lile am just getter bad news after bad news
I am so sorry you don’t seem to get a break especially when you have reached the point of exhaustion. I can totally relate and the last month has been particularly bad for me. It has made me ill because I’m mentally exhausted so I am forcing myself to slow down and do things I enjoy such as being out in my garden even just for 10 minutes or so at a time. I really wish you some respite and support for yourself.

Yes get days like that. Having COVID vaccine made me more washed out.
Was in Saturday. Really puffing trying to mow the grass the other day.
Caring is exhausting. I find that. Think if some fairy godmother waving her magic want and making it all go away for a bit
