Im 13 weeks pregnant and its been like 1 week im feeling extremely depressed, i dont know what to do and i feel lost i suffer from a bipolar disorder and im not taking medication for it, Im starting to have suicidal idealization, and i dont want to go anywhere i stay home all day i dont take a bath as often as i would love too, and im neglecting my kids and husband im so scare to even talk to anyone, what can i do? its medication safe during pregnancy?

I don’t want to take medication, but events in my life have caused me to be extremely stressed. One moment I will be fine, but another moment I will break down emotionally and hurt those I love saying irrational hurtful things. One moment I will be fine, the next I am unable to stop crying. It is starting to effect my eating habits. It has near impossible for me to eat lately. No matter how hungry I get I can’t seem to eat. I’m not nauseas, but I the thought of food disgusts me and makes me want to throw up, no matter how hungry I am. I am not underweight, and I’m sure I will be fine.. But it’s becoming a problem in my life.

Does anyone know if there is a fruit or herb I can take to raise my seratonin levels?

So last week I found out that I am pregnant. I am 5 weeks pregnant and going insane trying to figure out how I got pregnant. I have been on it for 11 months and took it every night like clockwork. I was also taking other medication for depression but my doctor said that those do not interact with the pill. Has anyone else ever got pregnant on the pill? My husband thinks I am deceiving him some how. I am so much in shock since this is very much an unplanned pregnancy.

I take both of these medications for severe anxiety and depression. It is an absolute medical necessity for me. I am considering getting pregnant in a few years, as my wedding is in October. My ob/gyn told me today that neither of those medications should be taken during pregnancy. Ideally I would like to not take anything during pregnancy, but I am pretty sure that may not be plausible as I have a history of horrible panic attacks and hospitalization due to psychiatric symptoms. I have been stable for several years now on medication and haven’t been hospitalized in 12 years.

Has anyone here taken these drugs during pregnancy? What happened, if so?

I am 27 weeks and lately I feel as if nothing in my life makes me happy.. I have a beautifull daughter and now a son is due in October.. All I want to do is sit around and cry, and I am constantly yelling at my husband. I dont mean to it just happens that way.. When I was a teenager I was diagnosed with depression, and was put on medication.. Up untill about 2 years ago I took my Zoloft once a day.. Then found out I was pregnant and quit taking it.. My first pregnancy I never felt like this. In fact I was so excited and Happy all the time.. Why is it that I am feeling like this all of a sudden.. Could depression be the culprit? I know I need to talk to my doctor but I will be unable to untill Friday at the earliest.. We are leaving to go out of town for the next 2 days.. I was just wanting to get someone elses opinion on the matter.. If it is depression then I would understand these urges to cry, but if it is just hormones then I need to overcome the issue.. Any answers is great..

Since I have been pregnant life has been complete hell. Thoughout my pregnancy I have been very mean and having very irrational thoughts. I know that is somewhat normal, but i thought that the end of my pregnancy would be the happiest part because it would nearly be over. Im due March 21st and now i worry about my baby coming out a different race when my boyfriend and I are the same race. I worry that I will lose him and be stuck with a baby on my own. I have tried to make myself remember having sex with other people when I really havent! In the beginning of my pregnancy i KNEW he was the father and I still do… I dont know what has made me think about this obsessively. My doctor believes that I will have post pardum depression and he is going to put me on medication. Has anyone else ever been this way towards the end of their pregnancy? What kind of medication do they give you for post pardum depression?
Please no negative answers saying i must have slept with someone else. I know that i havent, but I cant seem to stop the excessive thoughts.

I heared that this plant affects the function of the pregnancy control pills…..IS that true?
I have been married only for four months and im not planning to have a baby for some financial and health reasons…me and my husband we agreed on this before.

I was diagonised with BorderLine Personality Disorder approx. one year ago. And yes i cause my husbands so much problems and fuss because of it.I just can not control it most of times.

I have a sleep disorder and depression. I take medication for the sleep disorder and have continued it (under dr. supervision) through my pregnancy. I’m currently over 26 weeks and I’m having extreme insomnia, even with the prescription sleep medication. Could this be due to hormonal changes? Is it safe to change medications and would that be effective? I have to take something because my body won’t sleep period if I don’t. I can get to sleep fine but wake up after a few hours and can’t go back to sleep for the life of me. It is horrible because I work during the day, can’t even nap, I exercise/eat right, and nothing works. My medication just doesn’t work anymore. I had a little bit of insomnia the first trimester, but now it is extreme and never-ending. I’m so tired and can’t deal with this for another 3 months without getting extremely sick or having clinical depression I’ve also dealt with return. Obviously I don’t want to hurt the baby, but has anyone else experienced stuff like this where they already take sleep medication and even that doesn’t work? Suggestions?

Ok so heres the deal, me and my girlfriend had sex last saturday, i wore a condom and everything and even pulled out as i came. I dont think there was anything with the condom because as i pulled it off there was a very tight suction (like it was air tight and hard to pull off), but anyways less than four days later she started throwing up and feeling nausea, and now she has me all worried cause shes been feeling sick ever since that fourth day, we took a pregnancy test about 2 days ago and the results came back negative, this was the first time that we ever had sex and she was a virgin. im a little concerned because she says one second that she thinks shes pregnant and then another second shes not. she says shes feeling nauseous all day long. She was taking medication for depression and anxiety but she stopped almost right after she had sex because “if she was pregnant” she didnt want to hurt anything. its now been 8 days and she still feels sick from the fourth day. Does anyone think its way too soon for her to be showing signs that she is pregnant? Im really concerned and on edge. Shes do for her period within the next few days but im just stressin out.

I would really love to have a child in my near future, but I have some issue’s that I fear may cause me some complications…I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, depression, & hypochondria. I take medication for anxiety/depression, & go to counseling for it as well, along with my hypochondria. My blood pressure tends to go up when I’m under stress, so this is also another issue I’m concerned about…Like I said, I’d really love to have my own child, but do you think all of this would be too much for me to handle? (mentally)…I don’t really have that much trouble with depression, & here lately I’ve been doing pretty good with my anxiety/panic attacks, but I fear ANY type of problem during my pregnancy may trigger it, or make my depression worse…..Any good advice?.
