E.g. I finally started talking to girls, because I wouldn’t care about rejection that much. => Got into my first relationship and was happy.
Also, I started working on my passion project full time and I recently registered a company for it. Two years ago I would have not thought about doing this, as working for an employer is way „safer“.
But I don’t care about failing anymore.
It had no obvious cause and months of therapy had no impact. Within a few days of taking sertraline, it was essentially cured. I still get anxious from time to time but I'm able to live a completely normal life again. I had a few side effects (GI especially) for a few weeks but now the only side effect I have is I yawn a lot more, which is pretty tame.
I'm a big believer in the gut-brain connection and wonder if maybe it was something to do with the drug's GI effects that helped, but ultimately I have no idea and it doesn't really matter.
Is there a conspiracy shutting down depression curing alternatives all around the world?
