did anyone have bad depression before they got pregnant? I've been dealing with it for 5 years and…

yes mam, it's made it 100x worse

yes mam, it's made it 100x worse

bi polor ptsd, anxiety and schizophrenia. it sucks

is there anything you guys do to help it? @hermommy @babyanakin

yes. it makes my annexity worse. and now I feel more needy for friendship and approval.

my doctor gave me Zoloft bc the depression anxiety and bipolar were literally consuming me

Zoloft always made my anxiety a lot worse. I took it a few years back and it made it to the point I would forget where I was because I was having such bad panic attacks. I would get lost just driving home. @hermommy

I'm the opposite just normal conversation with anyone overwhelms me and makes me anxious. I avoid everyone and I keep trying to avoid family but they are to pushy. @jadestarlight

I won't take it girl I'm learning how to deal with it

those pills were my enemy before made me act bipolar....made me even more suicidal I'm not touching those ever again

I did pretty well until the last few weeks. I hit my second trimester and everything went downhill. it's terrible. I stopped all my meds the day I found out and felt fine till now. @hermommy

I hope it gets better girl i know its not easy

Is there any way you can avoid even normal conversation for right now? like be stay at home starting now?

sadly no, my husband's family is to pushy and demand going to all my appointments and I'm high risk so I'm at the doctor a lot. @tahtahme

I hope things get better for you too! @hermommy

@jadestarlight, I know what you mean. they made me feel awful!

@mrsdoyle, you can get through this. I know it's rough but you can pull it off

you should talk to your doctor @mrsdoyle they can help you through this

I go back tomorrow and am going to ask about it, I just don't want to take medicine. @wannaboyplz

Totally there. I quit taking my meds for baby, and now I'm off its like I've been hit by a train. My hubby has been a big help, but honestly.. I'm just trekking through as best I can. I get upset about nonsense. My panic attacks are starting to come back too ); dr told me for anxiety/panic attacks to take benedryl. Safe for baby. But other than that.. Just a matter of pushing through. Good luck. ): wish I were more help.

thank you! I'll ask my Dr about the benedryl! @evococa

No prob! <3

I'm taking benadryl for insomnia but nothing for psychosis and bipolar disorder and depression and it sucks.

@mrsdoyle, I was the same with my daughter... you need to just try to take care of it now so it doesn't turn into postpartum depression
