have you had your thyroid checked? I ask this because thyroid disease can seem like mental problems and goes undiagnosed for to long.
Call your dr...
I am so sorry you are feeling this way. Get on the computer and look up pictures of fetus's and just imagine your baby, and how it will feel when you get to hold him or her. This will bring you lots of joy.
Force yourself to keep your mind on positive things. Don't watch ANY depressive or violent tv shows or listen to any music that is that way.
Hang in there. You are strong, and the most important thing of all....Pray Pray Pray. I will be praying for you as well.

There are meds that are safe to take during pregnancy. It's all about weighing up the risks, if coming off meds is a risk to your health then ultimately it is a risk to the baby. Seroquel is a med commonly used during pregnancy amongst others - your psychiatrist will be able to discuss this with you. No psych is going to guarantee 100% that meds won't harm your baby but the risks are very low. For instance with lithium the risks are only increased by 0.05%.
Hi there
I am in a similar situation to you right now, about 6 weeks pregnant and bipolar. Had to stop my meds as they can seriously affect babyso I am having the worst time of my life. I just can't bear another day everyday is a struggle of endurance as you say but I also have 2 young children to look after so I somehow just exist from one day to another I have people and friends that care but they can't help me no one can seem to help me as it is a very lonely place to be.Sorry I can't help you but just know I can almost guarantee I know just how bad you are feeling.and you are not alone. keep us posted
Medicaid will cover a psychiatrist. You could go to a walk in clinic if you need help now.
I don't have a psychiatrist....I don't have regular insurance
Medicaid covers psychiatric treatment. As for what medication could be safely taken during pregnancy speak to your psychiatrist and OB GYN about that and have them discuss it together.
