Severe depression during pregnancy?
I’ve always had some issues with anxiety and depression. I’ve been on Zoloft for two years now and I was on Xanax before that.
Ever since I have gotten pregnant things have gone into a downward spiral. I had to put my pekingese to sleep a few days ago and she was my best friend, my insurance doesn’t want to pay for a bunch of my prenatal care, and I’m self-employed and my business is in the crapper right now.
I’m SEVERELY depressed and I don’t know what to do about it. I’m not sure if the hormones are making things worse or what but I’m having a meltdown.
Anyone else in this situation? How do you handle it????

you sound exactly like me. my doctor just put me on wellbutrin for mine. the hormones do make it worse. just hang in there girl. sorry if you are not religious, but God will not give you anything you cant handle. stay strong.
it could be combination of everything states…..I took zoloft years ago and it made me so tired that I could barely take care of my first child at 2 1/2 and slept almost all day……I don’t remember what the dosage was but I ended up stop taking it on my own……I had child at the time taken away from me cause of the zoloft making me tired…..and couldn’t get my house cleaned…..didn’t like the medication…..I wish you luck depression in my option sucks….I hate feeling depressed its the worst feeling
im like that & i hate when im in appointments or around ppl i need to converse with the first thing that comes out their mouths is that are u okay u seem jittery or anxious and my family all of them are just like that in terms of nerves..i do suffer from anxiety i always tell the doctor which she sends me to the social worker they make an appoinment they say that some medications are offered but i never really end up going. i mean i never stepped foot in a therepist office. I am and was severly depressed and anxious before my pregnancy i m not even gonna lie and say i wanted to get pregnant but because my chemical imbalance when i catually found out i was preggers it was like a vision of taking a knife and stabbing my stomach.. i always live with this guilt and shame of not feeling better than sometimes when it really gets too much where i feel like jumping off a bridge i do ask questions but other than that i never really feel normal. and i sont think that this is not normal. im 4months pregnant and i been living with this for a while its not easy cuz i find myself slipping up hear and there. My AHA moment was watching some channallast night a show called obsessed a woman on their was relying the same symptoms i feel and i was embareesed for her that i was like i gotta get my act together ..this is real.. i know i am not alone and what she has is anxiety and OCD.. its good always good to talk to somebody even though i should take my own advice.. i know for sure when i see my baby’s face i know that i wont be alone.
stress is horrible…and the hormones certainly are not helping. Try to focus on the fact that your gonna have a beautiful baby very soon.
Very sorry about your dog, I’ve been through that many times. Very, very hard.
Fight the insurance. Appeal it.
Lots of businesses are having a hard time. It’ll get better.
Hang in there!
