I have been extremely over depressed lately. But I do not take medicine. However, a few years ago, I weened myself off of taking Zoloft. It is actually a great rx, and as long as you are taking it in very small doses, please don't go over 50!! I believe some of that stressAcute respiratory distress syndrome Broken bone Exercise stress test Fetal heart monitoring Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome Post-traumatic stress disorder Stress and anxiety Stress echocardiography Stress formula with iron Stress gastritis Stress incontinence you are having will probably be lifted. Don't just rely on the Rx though. Try going out for a walk by yourself to calm nerves, or even a weekly massage/ and or pedicure. These are ways to relax yourself. I actually bought a lot of yoga dvds(this is coming from someone who doesn't like the looks of flexible people) and it is calming. Just you and the dvd, and usually the background music is the ocean, or rain. Another way to help is to buy a noise machine. You can get them from any electronic store. They play alot of different types of noises from the ocean, rain, thunderstorms, to a city street.

I am lucky to have my 2 kiddos, that is the main reason why I need to be on something because I have to be somewhat stableStable angina Unstable angina for them too.

Mood: alaysha : just saw Twilight and thought it was the CHEESIEST thing I have ever seen Journal Entry: "I am so frustrated today thanks to my a**..." [Read]
Finally I had had all I could take and talked to my OB. He got me a referral(damn insurance companies)to a psychiatrist whom I go see next Wed. I'm still so leary about going on anything while pregnant. It just overall scares me. But I realize if I don't get it together before the baby gets here then I will get postpartum depression BADLY and my baby won't have the mother it needs, and I don't have her daddy here right now to help me out so taking care of her is pretty much all up to me. I do have family and stuff, but I don't want to solely depend on them for help with the baby. I should be able to take care of my own child... ya know. I think you are on my friends list on myspace. You can always message me if you want/need to talk. I'm at a computer for a majority of the day cause I don't have a job or much of anything to do...... and that makes things worse for me. But yeah..... Stay strong and I'm here if you want to talk. You aren't alone.
