Boyfriend just got put on Zoloft for 7 days, Having high anxiety over this.
Sorry in advance if this doesn't go here, but I am so terrified and worried.
All my life I have dealt with severe depression and anxiety, which I can handle, I am down to Valium for a bad day, I don't even take stuff everyday for it.
But now, he is on Zoloft for 7 days to see if it induces a Bi-Polar episode.( which doesn't make ANY sense to me, His father is a bi polar pill popper and alcoholic)
Bit of background : He has a super high stress level job with a cell phone carrier as a tech support rep for PDAs. High level of job burn out, almost weekly he will text me the entire shift saying he hates it there and just wants to walk out, and I think in general is depressed because of the job. He works a 2nd shift, eats badly in general ( we live in south carolina ) and is a little chubby and found out today he has high blood pressure ( which is almost 100% the extra weight ) I am just worried that he could have a bi polar episode, when I am not around and then he might do something, cause of it.
He took the first pill tonight around me, and I am worried, I cant keep him here all the time just to shut up my own insecurities about this or the lack of control I have over this.
I don't wanna see him in pain or in a depressive or mania state, but I dont know what to do, I am scared.
help!

I feel your pain!! I was planning to leave my bf of 4+yrs this weekend because ofa fight we had on Tues. I just do not have the heart to follow thru cause I know he is in such a bad spot in life right now- unemployed, going through a lawsuit, at his heaviest weight he has ever been (which granted is only about 25 lbs more than his normal weight of 170) he is just so down on himself that he is saying that he doesnt care if he lives/dies. It breaks my heart because I know he is miserable but I am also extremely miserable with our relationship. I have been the only one of us trying to make any kind of an effort and I am just at my wits end, he is home all day sitting and doing nothing to contribute towards the household- doesnt clean up after himself, do laundry, dishes- nothing. I am just so mentally and physically exhausted at the end of each day since I work and go to school, I finally told him yesterday that his ultimatium in order for me to stay (for now) is that he HAS to get help of some kind! I dont care if that means he goes to speak with a pastor (we are the MOST unreligious people). We cannot afford to get health insurance so I told him that he has to apply for the state insurance, in the meanwhile I am trying to track down free/discounted mental health. I am also researching how to try and curb some of the symptoms with herbal remedies and an organic diet and for us to get out of the house and go walk on nights when I dont have school.
Doctor insisted on Zoloft for beyond 7 days, aka a month there has been no change, I want to say in that month I have had to beg sex out of him at least 4 times, and thats all the sex we have really had this month.
Not going to leave him over this but something is wrong and I miss his old sex drive, and how he used to be more relaxed.
I hope it isnt me, and that he doesnt think I am gross now or something, cause damn I look at him, extra weight or not and just wanna be naked with him.
Zoloft really hasnt done anything except **** up his already low sex drive, at least pre zoloft we were doing in 2-3 times a week.
Also kinda found out last night that all his girlfriends but me, have treated him like ****, so that could explain a few things.
Hoping it all gets better soon.

Oh to add he had a chest cold for a week and half and stay at my place, so I think it all maybe in my head.

Oh dont get me wrong I wasnt going to leave him cause I think he has bipolar- if anything that is the reason why I am not leaving. I was going to leave because when we were fighting it was a verbal argument in my truck with me driving down the road and I stopped and told him to get out of my truck and he friggin lost it and raised his fist at me like he was going to punch me- he ended up punching himself in the face several times instead of me. But it scared the crap out of me enough that I was ready to be done and call it quits. I realize that relationships take constant work, but good friggin grief I dont think it should take this much. I am hoping that treating with herbs and organic diet will help cause its his only option right now, oh and because we havent had sex in 4 years and it would be nice to get laid for once! (Sorry to be so brash/crude!!)
Fiesty I hope it gets better, it sucks seeing someone you love hurting.
