Pregnancy

I feel you I go through the ups and downs, and even before pregnancy I dealt with the struggles of manic depressive disorder. Now that I'm on meds, I have to really watch my mood. And even though I cry so hard sometimes I feel deep hurt, and others that see me in my weak moments get mad at me for not watching my emotions because I'm "affecting the baby"- I know I'm actually being very strong and just going through a needed release every now and then. You can't force yourself to be a certain way all the time, sometimes you need to nap, cry, or lean on others. It's okay if you need to do this, think of it as something your body and mind need to heal the negativity and move forward, making room for positive emotions once you have given yourself the proper rest

I’m feeling the same way. Definitely dealing with this “loss of self” feeling and also so uncertain what is going on in there! I’m 8.5 weeks according to my calculations and go in for my first appt on wed so I hope that eases some of the anxiety a bit. I have to remind myself that it’s the hormones at play and it won’t be this way for long✨hang in there!!

@Audrey ya my first appointment is Oct 3rd.
