really thinking I need to start an antidepressant or anti anxiety med... it's getting unbearable. I realize I don't have a horrible life or anything like that but I cannot control it when it hits me.. I just don't want to take any medicine due to side affects, yet stress is horrible on the baby too. any other mommies horribly depressed during their pregnancy taking meds or have any advice? I'm at a loss here.. I hate feeling "crazy" but that's the best way to describe me lately.. l just want to feel halfway normal again.
@payitoffnow, I'll have to talk to him Monday I just hate feeling like this.. I think medication might be the best even a low dose to see if that will help
I'm sorry. You sound just like me. Sometimes I can go a while without taking anything then other times they are trying to find the right concoction for me. You have to do what's best for you which might be medication. I'm taking Wellbutrin and Lamictal right now. Just talk to your doctor.
have you tried relaxing meditation? renewing your mind with his word..hearing positive motivating audios and videos on youtube?
@yahuahsdaughter, I actually have and pray every night and I honestly think I've got such a bad imbalance going on in my brain that even god is probably like whoa lady your too much for me right now.. uhg and @payitoffnow it's sad how bad I am now haha I judge me! :/ I wish I could just wake up and not have these issues lol at least not THIS bad I just don't want to make my whole family suffer because I can't control myself :(
No judgment here 😀 I've also struggled with both depression and anxiety for years.
most of it is normal pregnancy hormonal changes in your mood
@mrs.maki, @payitoffnow I punched my boyfriend in the nose the other day....... not like me at all... I'm just a complete nutcase lately and it's honestly getting worse.. I'm going to talk to my doctor Monday and see if he will prescribe me something.. I've always had anxiety and depression but being pregnant has jist made it out of control.. I don't hit people lol I still feel horrible for that :^
I have to take Zoloft to control my craziness. My hormones were so bad, I started getting seriously violent.
I'm on two meds for depression. I stopped taking them when I found out I was pregnant but was put back on them still in my first trimester. I feel better.
Well good luck! It will get better.
