I've been talking to a therapist at the VA for a few months now. We've talked about getting me on meds, but never made a final decision. So I was pretty surprised today when I pulled a giant bottle of Sertraline out of my mailbox. I've been on Sertraline before. It did absolutely nothing. I even told the therapist that I'd tried it with no results. I keep telling people I don't want to go to therapy. I've never had a therapist listen to me. I even liked this therapist at first. When I saw that bottle though, the depression hit me instantly, and it hit me hard. Guess it's back to toughing it out. I can't count on anyone but myself.

I don't want to pry but I would like to ask if I can message you privately about how you got therapy set up through the VA. My husband is a veteran and I think he could benefit from speaking to someone.

@soraleia I just asked my pcp for a psych consult. I'd be happy to answer any other questions you and/or your husband have. Please, both of you, feel free to send me a pm.
