advice on depression

[hlouella]

I have always dealt with depression. I don't like taking med so I deal with it myself I normally can handle it. But recently im on bedrest not supposed to do anything and im getting depressed. Usually work keeps me going.  I shouldn't be so upset bc I have a baby im very excited for. Also having issues with the babys father. Im so stressed over paying bills and trying to keep it together.

I took prozac for severe depression and anxiety.  I stopped taking it as soon as I found out I was pregnant but my anxiety got too bad (not good for baby).  My ob switched me to sertraline because it is very safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding, and it actually seems to be working.  Maybe you should ask your dr about it?  Stress is more of a danger to baby.

I went through depression and anxiety I hated it but I found that talking to a counselor helps very much maybe talk to your doctor and see if there's anything you can do cause being on bed rest can't do much maybe your doctor knows someone you can talk to
