Hi, my name is Carrie. I currently take 100-300 mg a day of zoloft but, I am still depressed having moments of sleeping for days then eating everything and then trying to get in shape. I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster with like I'm so unhappy. I don't know what's wrong with me. In a stay at home mom 4 kids. I have struggled with depression anxiety panic attacks ptsd add I've been through bad things made bad choices and have been to counseling and therapy. I don't know if I'm bipolar or need different depression mess or personality disorder. I'm tired!

Hi there. I can understand what you must feel like and that you are experiencing severe stress. I do not know your prev history orwhat treatment you have taken, but I can recommend going to see a paychiatrist for an evaluation and getting the appropriate treatment. Along with that people sometimes underestimate the value of therapy. This can help allot building a strong therapeutic relationship and then working through things in the past and equipping you eith the tools and skills for future stressors that might arise
