Taking them for a few days and then stopping will do absolutely nothing. In any case, you might be setting yourself up for highs and lows from starting and stopping the drug over and over again. SSRIs need at least 3 weeks and often up to 6 weeks before they have a theraputic affect. You have described an abusive and unwarrented use of SSRIs. The down side of all of this, you are only hurting yourself in the process. I am sure you are aware of the way SSRIs such as Zoloft work.

It seems like they'd be good squeezed into a glass of iced tea. Those Zoloft ovoid things always remind me of some kind of citrus fruit – either lemons or limes, I think.

You struggle with everyday life and you get hurt by job rejection, for example, because you might be too shy, and thus not given the chance to overcome that. It's not worth the investment for someone who is older but new to the job - considerable life experience is worthless. when your heart is broken, no matter the reason, heart “disease” seems inevitable, don’t you think?
