Dear Carrie:

I wonder when he stopped Zoloft, how long he took it before he stopped, and did he stop gradually? Withdrawal may be part of the problem right now.

You wrote: “The more I push on what he wants me to do, the more it seems he pushes me away”- I think better you stop pushing him. He may very well not know what he wants to do, so he can’t tell you. He probably feels much distress and has no idea what to do about it.

If you stay with him, give him a lot of space. He no longer has health insurance, correct? Maybe he can qualify for some medical care and attend psychotherapy?
