Oh hey! I was also on Zoloft as a teen, because of depression that started at puberty, which I also didn’t realize was actually gender dysphoria!

The Zoloft did absolutely nothing for me. Now I know why.

funny how that works! im still on zoloft and it works moderately well. but i have always wondered if it's mostly a placebo effect lol.

it's also interesting to think about psychiatry as a field that just treats mental health symptoms but not the underlying causes of the symptoms!

I’m sorry to hear that your therapist shamed you. I’m struggling to think of any possible therapeutic value to shame.

thanks! yeah i cant think of any therapeutic value either. but it was a long time ago, and that experience feels so remote today
