Mood Swings

I'm currently in the process of transitioning from Zoloft to Duloxetine.
Which is what I wanted to do, but you know, there's then the whole "process of switching over" part.
This all started when I saw a new doctor (I actually saw two, the first one sucked) and told her that I felt like Zoloft only kind of worked at it's max dose, so I felt like something else might work more efficiently for my body, and she said "that is a very clear line of reasoning!" and referred me to a psychiatrist. Weirdly being told my request made complete logical sense by a healthcare practicioner was very healing.
Through an honestly impressively smooth process I was quickly seen and prescribed an SNRI, which I had heard might help with some of the stuff I felt like Zoloft wasn't helping with. Results are still TBD. I'm on week two and I'm in a huge dip. I was sad for a few days and then I took my testosterone, so like I'm still sad but now more in a mad way.
My internship really upsets me, I hate how I am treated by my team and weirdly, the first staff member I met and who I have a mutual friend from Texas with, now that I'm an intern, treats me very poorly, and it's not even my own imagination. Two fellow interns have seen and responded to the weird attitude, comments, and yelling. I am having so much trouble focusing on classwork. I'm having trouble focusing on anything, I started this blogpost three days ago. It hasn't gotten much better in that time, which sucks. I'm praying it does get better, I really want this medication to work.
I've also been sleeping a lot. 10-11 hours a night. I keep intending to start my day early and help myself get work done and then I just can't.
I'm just going to leave this here because I don't really know how to end it, but... yeah.
