Hey mommas

I would look into therapy before rushing straight into medication just so they can help explain why it is you feel the way you feel! Having a therapist will also help you decide if you do need medication what medication will be best for your particular disorder

Talk to your doctor! I’ve been taking sertraline for years, and continued taking it through my pregnancy and postpartum.

It can take some trial and error to find the right medication and dosage for you. But it’s worth it.

Good luck ❤️‍🩹

Ps - it doesn’t have to be forever. I’m just stating to taper my meds for the first time 5+ years into taking them. And if it is forever, that’s ok too.

I did too for a long tine after having my second. It was eating me up and stressing me out. My second is now 21 months old and i'm much better!

It might not help but why do you care what they think? If it's your child's grad party, you're going to be there regardless. You're showing up for your child and not people who are in your life temporarily. A lot of people have a lot of opinions when you become a parent but as long as you're doing the best by your kids that's all that matters ❤️ Obviously if you feel that it has got to the point that you need medication then you need to trust yourself xx

Or maybe you need to channel your beautiful energy into something you’re passionate about, it might work🫶🏼

I've been struggling with the same thing. Ive just been praying and reading the Bible. "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” being so anxious and worried all the time made me feel like I am not fully trusting God. It has been helping in the hardest times, but overall I do feel like I need some sort of medication.

I had SERIOUS anxiety after my first. I went back to work when he was 10 months old and it got even worse of the next 2-4 months after I went back. I was crying every day. I talked to a friend about it and she suggested I speak to a doctor through Brightside. I did and started some therapy and started taking Lexapro. Therapy was really hard to work into my schedule so that tapered off but I Lexapro helped SO MUCH. I kept taking it until I got pregnant with my second. I went off it and didn’t feel too bad, but needed to get back on it not long after my second was born. I’m on 10mg and it’s so helpful. Highly recommend.
