I mostly have mood swings from the ptsd, the anxiety and panic attacks usually come from fearing cars or 18 wheelers and violence. I already feel an emotional detachment from everyone even my pregnancy seems unreal. I don't want this to stop me from loving or caring for my child

I have it and at times incredibly anxious. I was on a low dose of antidepressants to deal with the anxiety but went iff them when I found out I was pregnant. I was prescribed something that is safe for pregnancy but haven't taken it. I am 11 weeks 1 day. I have good days and bad days. It's tough!
