blame it on the zoloft?

[Jasmine1006]

i feel really spacey and foggy
out of it
weird
confused
strange thoughts and dreams

my cognition *****...keep forgetting how to spell words and i've always been an excellent speller. keep having typos. my short term memory *****.

is it the zoloft's fault?? i was only on it for 4 months (off since June) and at a low dose (25 mg)!!!

this is truly getting to me. i'm only 19 and i feel like i'm slipping ...

hey thanks!! ... i realize when i focus so much on myself, it does become a problem...and being out with others and dealing with others really does help me and lifts my spirits...so you're very right...thanks :)

No Jasmine, something like that would not be the effects of zolft especially since you've been off since june.  More than likely it some form of generalized anxiety, I get the feelings that you described every once in awhile it's like a total cognitive washout.

It used to scare me!  But now I know what will pass usually I will just only down for 15 or 20 minutes, and that usually does the trick.  I've been dealing with this for the past 30 years and I picked up a few tricks of the trade that can help calm and comfort people so if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

See for me and my anxiety is best if I do not focus on myself I haven't degrees in the theology and I am a minister but because of my anxiety and bipolar disorder.  I am no longer comfortable working in that capacity, but I'd do enjoy helping other people that are going through something I have already gone through that is my outlets.
If I focus upon myself I start to have the worst anxiety and panic attacks that just cripple you.  But by sharing with others and hoping they can find peace with their disorder, it helps me Heal.

Hope to hear from you soon!
