I just read your confession and I wanted to send you lots of hugs. I have a history of anxiety and my psychologist has recently made me see that anxiety and depression are really the same thing. I have PTSD that stems from DH being shot in 2003 (he is a police officer and was shot in the line of duty) and after delivering Cameron it came back pretty bad. Of course with all of my issues, I am a nervous wreck and was crying so hard that other night that I dont think I can make it through this pregnancy without meds. My psych is going to help me and I too and hoping I can do without. You are so far along though that I really think it is ok if you feel you need it. My therapist has been an AMAZING help and I would highly rec finding one if you can. I just wanted to tell you I am always here if you need to talk. Hang in there sweetie! Hugs!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences... it really does help me feel less alone! I can only imagine how awful the PTSD must have been with your DH being shot- what an absolute nightmare. I am so sorry and so glad that he is ok.

My plan as of now is to try and just make it through the next 9 weeks - if it gets worse, I will consider going back on a very low dose. I think I will go back on after delivery if I am still feeling this way, and talk to our pediatrician about b/f while on a low dose of zoloft - I've heard that very little zoloft gets transferred through breast milk. If there's any risk and I need the meds, I have no problem formula feeding, you know?

I really just want to make it through the next few weeks and see if things level off... I am hoping and praying they do. Thanks again for "being there" for me....:)
