39th Zoloft Update - Feeling Very bad

October 7, 2026··

Feeling very bad. Been having bouts of insomnia, headache, anxiety, fatigue, and electric shock sensations. Only sleeping every 48 hours now. The nights and days I don’t sleep are so horrific. I didn’t even know this kind of suffering existed.

I’m so scared Ani. I’m not doing well at all. My anxiety is so terrible now and I have really dark thoughts. My family is really scared.

I am so so sorry, we will get better, we absolutely will! You will manage the next two minutes and then the next two minutes! Have family members watch you if necessary, remove anything dangerous or even slightly stressful wherever you can. Your only job is surviving the next moment and you will. One day we will tell our story and help others, they will need us once this whole system gets uncovered!
