I was curious does meditation help with unlocking emotions after being on  zoloft when you never needed it to begin with ?

Drifter, I think of you so often....I had surgery yesterday and the doctor said I worry too much.  He also does not know about my PTSD but I also do meditation, perhaps it is time for me to become more serious about my meditation instead of it being hit and miss....

Thank you so much for posting

By the way, I hope I did not sound insensitive.  Totally not my intention, and if I came off that way, I apologize.

Hey jonny, sorry to hear about you having to endure this.  I went through a long battle of depression and with that came all kinds of chronic stress.  It took me about 15 years after my diagnosis to finally go see a professional about it.

As dumb as this may sound, a switch just flipped inside my head one day at therapy.  maybe it was because I was ready to get past all of the BS and start living a little again... I don't know.

A few things that were said to me all of a sudden made great sense and I began to think about them more often.  "Life happens"  "You can only control you and your emotions" "You can consciously change how you feel" "These things aren't happening "to you", they are just happening"

I don't know why I thought I'd share those things, but I hope they somehow make as much sense to you as they did me.

I wish you peace.
