I’m 5 weeks and I’m on Sertraline to!! Sending me crazy thinking should I stop for my baby but clearly I’m on them for a reason. My gp said to me today that it is my own decision but it doesn’t really give me much info lol

I'm on duloxetine. I spoke to my GP and we decided I would lower the dose and see how I do. Things to consider are withdrawal symptoms, and the pros and cons regarding mental health. Also remember that any decision you make doesn't have to be final. If you decide to reduce or stop it now, you can always start it again in a few weeks if you need to x

I am 6+2 and also on sertraline. I spoke to my GP and discussed the pros and cons of staying on it throughout pregnancy and really helped me to make a decision on what to do. Would recommend making an appointment with your GP. I’ve deciding staying on it is best for me

Am I being dramatic?

I had a fight with my baby daddy in which he took my 2 kids to his mom's house while I was at work & he said he "was not bringing them back" & that I can "visit". The following is a conversation I had with his mom. Am I in the wrong for wanting to keep my distance from her? For context, his mom is a heavy smoker (when we lived with her she never respected the fact that we had babies & would sometimes smoke weed inside.) She has a weird boyfriend that stalked her, hacked her phone, broke her windshield, slashed her tires & put a tracker in her car (he followed me to my mom's house with his best friend thinking I was her.) she lives at HIS house & she has always made her kids jealous of my babies (her daughter had a dream of killing my babies & just laughed it off when I asked if she would). Sorry this was long but I can also go into more details. My babies are 2 years and a 9 month old, exclusively breastfed & have NEVER slept away from me.. (my babies are with me, they did not stay there). He just made me feel "dramatic" for still being mad about it and not wanting to talk to his mom.

Friends

Looking for a friend that wants to snap spicy pics and hang out im also okay with social media friends ….. I live in nc …… I’m okay with exchanging photos as well … I do have a boyfriend who is okay with it. Ps Ima a bigger girl

Sex

Am I the only one who just has no interest in sex even if I love my partner? I want to love it but I just can’t I even offered for him to go get it elsewhere. I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I’m just that detached from sex and I feel it’s selfish of me to deprive him of it. He even tells me that he just wants to have sex with his partner but I just don’t want to.

Is this okay?

Bf forcing me into a career because he said it’s the only way to make money. Commercial real estate, he on a new kick and said i have 3 months to get going on it or he’ll find a partner who will… apparently my goals in life don’t matter as much as money. We have 3 under 5 and I’m a caregiver for my 2 asd kids and homeschooling and therapy 5 days a week between those 2 kids and being disabled myself and we don’t even live together so I do it all alone basically. I planned on having and building a career because I’m 23 I have time still but he said that doesn’t matter and i need my real estate license asap. I planned on going back to school to either finish my criminology degree or go into cosmetology/ be a nail tech since I already do nails on the side. I said I have more than enough time in my day to get my license and and basically start running a business when I’m barely holding things together at home😤

Anyone else bored of their life?
