Any other mommies or mommies-to-be have severe anxiety before pregnancy? How are you managing during pregnancy (or…

@mlmckeeth, I was on zoloft and wellbutrin... my psychiatrist weened me off both straight away and told me to start back seeing a counselor. it's been a struggle...I've had a few breakdowns already...not sure if you believe in a higher power...but I been doing alot of praying and buying paper bags.. lol

but seriously...some days are good..some are not so good.

My psychiatrist took me off right away because I had a miscarriage in March of this year and she didn't want to take a chance on this pregnancy...she didn't know if the miscarriage had anything to do with the meds..but she wasn't taking chances.

I was first on Xanax for like 6 months and then I was completely taken of them and started getting panic attacks back to back so u put me on Ativan. But now that I am prego I don't take anything and here and there I had panic attacks but I try to control them. Well even before j got prego I was doing my best to ck tell them without meds and I was doing well.

@babyhawkins2015, @faithfulness88 - thanks for the replies ladies! It makes me feel a lot better knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle. My best support is Sammy (my boyfriend). He is truly my rock, and I know I can rely on him whenever I need to 💛

@mlmckeeth, - that's huge to have that support from Sammy. My fiance tried his hardest but sometimes I can be a bit much with my outbursts and he has to turn the other way... ugh

We are all in this together!!! I KNOW we would do anything for our little ones! =)

Girl nothing like your man support, @mlmckeeth babe is my best friend he is the only one that can help me through my panic attacks. He seen how bad I got them and he can try to help me relax. W my pregnancy I tho k I've only had one bad panic attack but I think they were worst before. I think because my pregnancy symptoms have been so so soooo bad on me that I don't feel anxiety lol or either it's mix somewhere in my pregnancy symptoms but my worst than when I feel so weak and throw up a lot. But I totally understand you. If you ever need to talk at anytime feel free to msg me. We must beat anxiety!!!!

@babyhawkins2015, I know the feeling! It's certainly not easy for Sammy having to deal with my emotions, but I couldn't ask for more than him trying. And you are SO RIGHT - we will all do whatever we need to for our little babes! 😍

@da ithfulness88, you're so sweet! I'll certainly take you up on the offer ☺️ Pregnancy hasn't been too bad for me so far, I've been able to balance my emotions to get through most days. But I am SUCH a planner and overthinker, I get myself all wrapped up in all the things that aren't done yet. But my guy is so good and helping me realize that everything will fall into place ☺️ My worst fear right now is the actual birth (I'm not too keen on pain, and the epidural sounds like a lifesaver - but it also scares the SHIT out of me!!!)

@faithfulness88, ^ don't know why that tag got all weird! Lol

That's so me right now, @mlmckeeth I am so terrified about giving birth and j keep overthinking about the day that will come and what if something goes wrong what if I get a panic attack omg girl so much goes through my mind. I make myself so nervous. Any little pain even now I think if the worst.

@faithfulness88, oh good I'm not the only one!! I was so excited when I got pregnant (because it's something I've wanted for a LONG time), and now that I'm 32 weeks along I'm like, "Oh yeah, I actually have to push this thing out of my vagina. Yaaaaaaaay." Hahahaha!
