Medicine Making Me Depressed 😔 ?

So I have an autoimmune disorder. Literally called chronic idiopathic ultricharia and angeoedema (spl?). I just learned that my random insane swellings weren't allergies. I started taking medicine (Zyrtec) when I found out. I was pregnant though, so any changes there could have been, I've blamed it on hormones. My meds are making me depressed.. I think they've been making me depressed and I didn't know how to identify it till possibly now- I assumed I was going through normal emotional things or PPD, and now I'm pregnant again. Anyone suspicious of Zyrtec?

Here for you! Are you still on this med? What are your symptoms like?

my immunologist ok'd me last week to go down on my dosage- I was on four tabs a day-now one.
I'm normally a very bubbly person and energetic. For the last little bit I've unmotivated have had fairly negative intrusive thoughts and feeling apathetic about my life's circumstances. Most negative thoughts have to do with self worth or likeability. I'm sleeping through as much of the days I can get away with. It's been better since the decrease though.

Good I’m glad there had been a decrease! Have vit D levels been checked by any chance??

I would def say increase your vitamin D. Living in AK we don't get enough sun even when we are outside during the warmer days. I am taking 10,000ius daily because I KNOW that I need it and that I am extremely deficient. If I don't stay on top of it then I get depressed and apathetic like you mentioned.

So…….

So question
Do yall think 🤔 that texting other men/women online is consider cheating? Or do you think cheating is just physical and texting?

Baby abroad with dad

I need genuine advice whether I’m being crazy.

BD wants to take our baby who will be 12 months at the time abroad to meet his family in Georgia. He currently has her every Sunday, she’s not even been round there overnight yet. This is due to drug charges and other reasons I won’t get into.

We don’t have a court order it is informal arrangent. I have done everything myself for the past 9 months, from sleepless nights, breastfeeding to weaning. I am the primary caregiver.

I am so filled with anxiety at the thought of her being without me for a week let alone abroad?! He’s kicked off and said I’m being unreasonable and it’s not fair.

Is this normal or what? Asking me for reasons why I’m not ok with that?

Am i a shitty mom

My son is about to be 9 months, and we currently live with his dad in a duplex. He doesnt work. If he does he works maybe 3 days and finds an excuse to quit. He says its not worth his time for what they pay. I work sunday through friday 5 am to 1:30 and i cant make ends meet. When i was on maternity leave he let bills rack up crazy and i had to use my whole retun to pay off the bills. And now ik the asshole because we obly jave about 200 dollars till i get paid again on the 18th. This is what he had to say when i complained that we wouldnt have had to use all of my return of he wouldve ketp a job that was perfect for our schedule and for our commute. He quit the job because they obly paid him 18/hr and he wasnt gonna do the job pf a machine for soemone who smokes a vape( he hates people who vape and his manager was doing so). Am i a shitty mom if i take my son away from his dad and run to harbor house? I just cant keep with financial abuse. I try everything to keep us above water and he just spits in my face about it.

be careful who’s on here

This is supposed to be a space for moms and children. I just came across a profile named “Rebecca” that openly said they’re on here because they feel lonely and want to talk to mom . That does not sit right with me at all.
It was a man with a half ass wig and beard. We do NOT know people’s intentions on here, and there are kids involved. This is not a random social app — it’s meant for mothers and a safe environment.

Am I the only one..?

Am I the only one that, sometimes, stop myself from saying something because if the other person has a different skin colour than me I fear they might take criticism as racism?

What am I doing wrong in these convos

It hurts because I can’t even have a normal convo with this guy. Everything turns into me being the bad guy and I’m literally doing everything alone. I just want to feel okay.
