21F, had anxiety and depressive episodes since I was a kid. A few months ago I had an episode of depersonalization. With a recent diagnosis and treatment of a chronic illness, I realised how much mental health needs the same attention and decided to get help! 

I saw a psychiatrist for suspected ADHD (tbc) and he confirmed anxiety and depression and set me off on 35mg Sertraline (also known as Zoloft I think). It has only been about a week so I know it's too soon to make any conclusions, but the biggest difference I can note is that when I have a stressful thought, the "chest squeezing" feeling of anxiety is less intense....still there but like a 2/10 instead of 10/10. Like the thoughts pass by but are not ALL consuming. 

Just curious of other people's experience!
