I got on Zoloft during my first visit for my pregnancy. I had definitely been depressed (for probably years) prior to this. It literally took my sister and my doctor telling me how it wasn’t normal that I didn’t want to get off the couch at all, didn’t want to shower, didn’t want to eat (or ate way too much). I was so sick from morning sickness and thought it was a result of that. It wasn’t. 25 mgs of Zoloft once a day truly changed my life. I’m on 75 mgs now 2.5 years later. Life is a lot different, in the best way possible. Depression can look different for everyone. Not wanting to leave the house, cancelling plans with friends continuously, not having good self-care habits are all indicators. I highly recommend people speak to their doctor if they are concerned about any of these symptoms they may be having. It’s common, and in the medical field…it’s not a taboo thing anymore. Don’t be embarrassed or too proud to bring up how you are truly feeling to your doctor, they 100% get it..and if they don’t, find a new doctor!
I love your post partum videos. Mom of three around your same age here. I can say with confidence that I had post partum depression for all three children, medicated after the second two (thank goodness). I'm here to report that you're incredible and brave and will change the lives of many women who watch these now and in the future. About 1-2 years after my final baby I remember waking up one day feeling like the veil of depression had just lifted. It was unexplainable and I'm grateful to be on the other side of it all. Videos like these would've helped me so much. Thanks for all that you do! ❤ Love from the Carolinas.
Do what you gotta do! Medication is a god send and should be celebrated, not stigmatized. Lexapro saved my life, Abilify has only improved it even more. I’m so glad you’re talking about this and getting the support you need 💜
Same girly. I went off Zoloft when I was pregnant. I miscarried and wanted to try again soon so tried to stay off of it. That did. Not. Work. Sometimes the chemicals just aren’t good. Do what you need to do mama.
❤I'm sitting with my birds, I've been loving your videos. I came across your video where you had the heart monitor on while I was wearing the same type, felt so much less alone in that moment. Support groups have been really helpful for me :) thanks for sharing your journey and promoting mental health! You're so strong! Good luck!❤❤
The timing of this is amazing. America sucks so I've been having insurance issues. After a month of not having consistent meds (Zoloft too hehe) I finally received them and can start taking them regularly. I'm someone who needs antidepressants to function. I can't even do the skills I learned in therapy without it. I've been going through a really bad crisis due to the chemical changes happening (never stop taking your high dose of meds cold turkey). I just really needed to hear the words you're not alone and see someone on the same medication talking about it. Thank you Lisa
Take the ME time when it shows up. Do nice things for yourself! Getting a manicure every few weeks is ME time. Take that odd hour or two to do something for yourself. In this horrific time in history we need all the small pleasures we can get.
I know you’re not feeling great but I have to say you look absolutely beautiful, mama! You’ve been through so much recently. Medication saved my life. I go to therapy every single week. When things have been bad I actually went to therapy twice a week every week and it helped greatly. I still take Lexapro but I’m also taking a very small dose.
I grew up watching you,I'm now 18 with my first baby aswell!! I love watching you videos while pumping of preparing for bubs feeds,or just in the spare time I get hahah I love this little mother to mother parasocial relationship so much! I love hearing your experiences/feeling like a have a mum friend (I'm Australian hence the spelling haha) but thank you so so much for sharing your journey with us!! I feel so comforted by the content you make and like we're on this journey together xx
Lisa...when you got off them and got pregnant you were going a mile a minute and all over the place always out-of breath from day one of the pregnancy...I'm on meds like that also and I know I would not be the person j am today without themmm.I'm not ashamed either... you got this girl.. Much Love.. 🇨🇦 💋
i am in the bath doing my nails as i watch! i recently became press-on OBSESSED. i googled how to do them properly and they are 1/10th the price of a nail salon and last just as long! okay, not just as long, but a solid 10 days. highly recommend.
I suffer from 6 mental illnesses. I was taken 200mgs of Zoloft but recently had to stop taken it because it was raising my blood sugar and causing weight gain. I am still taking my Prazosin for my PTSD
I really enjoy your vlogs and hearing your journey of parenting (even though I’m not a parent of my own). In a weird not really relatable way, I feel the same way with my new shelter pup. He barks almost 75% of the time that I am with him. The learning process for me to acclimate to him and his behaviors has truly been a rewarding one
I had a feeling things would get bad and I'm so glad you went back on it and that it helps you. 💜 Just recently had to go back up to my OG dose of a medication after trying too hard to be a hero and lying to myself that I was fine on a lower dose.
I'm 23 weeks pregnant and have learned more about my mental health in my pregnancy than ever before. I've been struggling lately too but I've also upped my medicine and talk therapy and hope things will turn around soon!
I felt called out when you mentioned listening to you in the background :D I was listening to this while working. I have ADHD and it keeps my brain busy, so i can do my work focused. Thanks!
I am waiting in my car in Target parking lot for my daughter to do a quick target run. I’m starving, have cramps, and just want to go home. Trying to be patient. Also on lexapro lose dose - gotta do whatcha gotta do.
I use to get SNS but it also used to gross me out that they would dip my fingers into the same jar as everyone else! I’ve been to a few salons that poured the powder into a separate little plastic cup. That’s what they should all be doing.
You're so much fun. I have watched you for years. You'll get through all of this fabulously. Btw, Hi from Palm Springs. I still remember when you and Jeff spent a weekend here.
I think we’re probably on the same Zoloft dose, I’m 25mg! I reduced down to there and decided to stick with it. also, your red nails automatically made me think “Annie!” maybe Annie the movie.. does she wear red in that? or the dvd cover is red? idk lol
If you wanted to play family feud you/Jeff could come up with a bunch of questions, put them in a google doc and have your subscribers answer. Could be fun lol
So I am holding my sleeping 5 month old son while hubby baths the older 2 girlies. Would love family feud! I watch that with my mom’s cat when I cat sit! 😂
I promise this doesn’t last forever 😊 pretty soon she’ll be a toddler! And you’ll start to learn who you are as a new mommy and little by little the mommy guilt gets better. My little one is 2.7 and I’m still learning to maneuver my way around the things called motherhood 🥹
just a reminder, that you aren't alone. I'm here cheering you on. xoxo
❤
Right back at you!!! 💖✨

@@lquinn16how long were you on 25mg before going on to 75mg
I’m glad you are taking about this. Mental health is so important to talk about and not being embarrassed.

Amen! I would not have survived without meds. I believe that 100%.
Lexapro also saved my life! Seriously, I don’t think I would be here today if I hadn’t started it.

So happy to hear Annie is feeling better and in turn you two are getting to enjoy her. Your honesty is so refreshing.
Take the ME time when it shows up. Do nice things for yourself! Getting a manicure every few weeks is ME time.

In this horrific time in history we need all the small pleasures we can get.
I’m so happy that you are taking good care of your mental health ❤
Proud of you! Been on Zoloft for 11 years and it has truly saved my life ❤️

Here lately your videos are such a nice distraction from a hard time at work. Thankful none of us are alone! Life’s journeys.

You and Jeff are doing amazing! We all love your vlogs no matter what they're about! Have a fabulous weekend! ☺️
You could move to Canada, it's so much safer and less stress than where you are living. Free healthcare, better education and more

I take prazosin at night for my PTSD. Sometimes I’m not really sure that it helps. It definitely helps with the nightmares but that’s about it.
I really enjoy your vlogs and hearing your journey of parenting (even though I’m not a parent of my own). In a weird not really relatable way, I feel the same way with my new shelter pup. He barks almost 75% of the time that I am with him. The learning process for me to acclimate to him and his behaviors has truly been a rewarding one
✨✨✨✨Lisa! Your nails look amazing. I’m on board for a personal Family Feud. Already laughing at the potential shenanigans. 😂✨✨✨✨
So so good to hear it's getting a tiny bit easier! Nothing is constant with kids. It's always a season (good, bad, meh).
Love and adore you, Sweet One. Keep on keepin' on!! ❤
I had a feeling things would get bad and I'm so glad you went back on it and that it helps you. 💜 Just recently had to go back up to my OG dose of a medication after trying too hard to be a hero and lying to myself that I was fine on a lower dose.

Thinking about you Lisa, especially during this time 💙
I felt called out when you mentioned listening to you in the background :D I was listening to this while working. I have ADHD and it keeps my brain busy, so i can do my work focused. Thanks!
I’m assuming neither you nor Jeff are getting much sleep but you’re both looking so well and happy 🥰
I am waiting in my car in Target parking lot for my daughter to do a quick target run. I’m starving, have cramps, and just want to go home. Trying to be patient. Also on lexapro lose dose - gotta do whatcha gotta do.
I use to get SNS but it also used to gross me out that they would dip my fingers into the same jar as everyone else! I’ve been to a few salons that poured the powder into a separate little plastic cup. That’s what they should all be doing.
You're so much fun. I have watched you for years. You'll get through all of this fabulously. Btw, Hi from Palm Springs. I still remember when you and Jeff spent a weekend here.
We definitely need family feud❤️
Yes to you and Jeff doing family feud!
I'm snuggling with my baby.
oh btw, I was lifting weights while watching you on my laptop but I got too tired and stopped lol. it’s almost 11pm.
also omg if you are ever in atlanta, you can apply to be on family feud audience for free.
I'm working 🤣 You asked what I'm doing. That is usually what I'm doing when you are on in the background!
Yes! Honored
Was 💩 and then came to my 🛌 to watch 📺 and you!
I'm pumping and playing with my baby!
I think we’re probably on the same Zoloft dose, I’m 25mg! I reduced down to there and decided to stick with it. also, your red nails automatically made me think “Annie!” maybe Annie the movie.. does she wear red in that? or the dvd cover is red? idk lol
"Annie" totally wears a red dress in most versions :)
I'm straightening my hair and listening to you 😅. I need something playing while I do stuff or my brain will start over thinking.
I wouldn't dip my fingers in it. do they sterilize all their utensils? and not just the jar of blue stuff.
Love the nails!
☕️ cheers!
❤
What formula did you end up trying?
I came off Sertraline 6 months ago and hit a wall today.
We definitely need family feud!
If you wanted to play family feud you/Jeff could come up with a bunch of questions, put them in a google doc and have your subscribers answer. Could be fun lol
So I am holding my sleeping 5 month old son while hubby baths the older 2 girlies.
Would love family feud! I watch that with my mom’s cat when I cat sit! 😂
🙏🙏
Cleaning lol
Im at work. Lol
Stay at home with the baby, Your the mom... Get control
I promise this doesn’t last forever 😊 pretty soon she’ll be a toddler! And you’ll start to learn who you are as a new mommy and little by little the mommy guilt gets better. My little one is 2.7 and I’m still learning to maneuver my way around the things called motherhood 🥹
