anyone ever experienced anxiety or depression after pregnancy?

Yes! My baby is 8 months old and I finally realized that I need to go to therapy after months of denial! If you're feeling like you aren't yourself, that's one of the signs that you need to get some help. It's not a bad thing. It's just that our hormones are still out of line and that's ok! :)

Did it help you? i know i need the help @ellofrench

I got depressed after my first child

I kinda wish mine was just after pregnancy. I've been living with it for almost 20 years now. Prozac is my daily vitamin.

how are u feeling now @erinflaherty818

I feel ok. I have good and bad days but I have less panic attacks when pregnant. But I cry more. Lol my husband is ready for our baby to come and my hormones to level out. That's why I exercise so much...it keeps my moods better stabilized.

i need help. i feel like im going crazy @erinflaherty818

Call your OB right away. Like, tomorrow. My psych tried to discontinue my Prozac when pregnant and my OB has been prescribing it for me since. She/he should be able to help. An appt with a psych can take weeks and postpartum depression should be manageable by your OB until you can get an appointment. Please don't be embarrassed or nervous. It's very common and the sooner you feel better, the better mom you'll be. Message me tomorrow after you call and let me know what she/he says and recommends. Also, you can friend me on Facebook by finding me at erinflaherty81812 and I have a closed group there for people who are struggling with anxiety and depression. ❤️

Oh and please some be scared. You won't lose your job or your baby.

Yes I have I suffer with it before pregnancy so I took Zoloft
