I've been on Sertraline for three weeks now, and it's finally kicking in. One thing I've noticed is that my emotions have calmed the heck down, my OCD behaviours (especially compulsive texting) have basically gone, my anxiety has been very low, and as long as I keep busy, I barely feel depressed (it mostly just feels like boredom now). 
The big takeaway from this is that I feel as if my emotions are like normal people's emotions. I feel happy, I feel sad, I get ratty when I'm tired and my boss is winding me up. I still get my bursts of anxiety, but they go quickly. All in all, the emotions feel like they should, and it's liberating! What makes it all so much easier, however, is that the things I feel now are NOWHERE near as intense as they used to be, so anger feels more like being mildly annoyed when compared to the full-on primal rage I feel when I have an episode, and feeling sad over something (like the loss of a friend) doesn't even compare to the soul-crushing torment which I used to feel.
I'm tired and dizzy, but I just wanted to post this because I don't think I've ever felt this... stable. 
I hope I continue to stay like this for a little while longer.
