Anyone have anxiety spike?

in Trouble TTC a Sibling
I have dealt with anxiety since I had my second son, but after my loss it has gotten so bad. I have an appointment with a Dr. to go over my meds and such. I have never felt depressed til recently. I feel like I am being silly, but the pain is so real.

    I feel like I haven't been coping well at all recently. I have a hx of anxiety and depression but went off my meds a year ago to TTC. The past week or two I am crying multiple times throughout the day, I'm really irritable and easily frustrated, I feel overwhelmed, sad, hopeless, and unmotivated. And it feels like there is a weight on my chest. I'm really starting to consider doing something about it (either asking for my meds back or seeing a therapist). 

    You're not silly. This crap is hard.

    I don't think you're silly at all. Anxiety and depression are very real.

    I also got off meds before TTC and am now considering going back on them. This all sucks.

    I am right there with you. I actually just today set up an appt with a counselor to talk about my anxiety issues and probably go on meds. I can barely sleep and everything is so up and down. Hugs to you and hope you get some answers.

    It's not silly at all.  Loss is horrible.  I recently had an appt. with a doctor and am now on meds due to depression/anxiety.  She was able to give me something safe for TTC and pregnancy and I feel much better already.  What really convinced me to try them is she was going over the research that shows untreated anxiety/depression post loss is associated with poorer outcomes after birth and developmental delays in those babies.  It's important to take care of yourself.  I hope you can get a good plan set up with your doctor.
