Support check in 1/4

PPA/D, depression, anxiety, any vents.

I'm feeling anxiety today. My mom is flying back with DD. I am nervous about how she will manage the trip. Mom has never flown with DD. DD does well on flights if she is occupied. I am more concerned about the time in the airport.

    PPD sucks. It's mostly managed by my meds, but when I ovulate it's truly horrendous and way worse than it was before meds. I started bcp to see if not ovulating helps. Here's hoping I can tolerate them this time around. It's odd because it is definitely just related to ovulating, I get virtually no PMS.

    I take a bcp and then 2 weeks before my period I take Prozac until my period comes. I think it makes a huge difference. When I accidentally run out of bcp it is a struggle. I hope it works for you @Lilygrace48‌.

    I sent mom a series of text about flying with DD. She responded that DD is such a great kid and I just have to stop being on my phone so much. Umm, ok. Yes, DD is well behaved but different environments take different strategies.

    I'm sorry POW, but I can see what your mom is saying. She can handle the trip with DD. They'll both have fun.

    I was telling her that DD likes to run in the airport. I don't have a problem with that but my mom won't and can't move around and keep up with her. I told her how DD plays with the seat belt clip on the plane. Nothing bad just what I do with her.

    Good luck @SweetTurnip‌. Definitely go. Some people benefit from counseling some from meds. My employer offers 8 free counseling sessions through an outside agency. I should take advantage.

    My anxiety has been better (mostly) since hubby has been home with me since dec 18. He goes back to work tomorrow and I'm already feeling it.

    I also want to potty train DS since I'm fed up with 2 in diapers. I figure since it's cold as hell out, and we are not going anywhere, now is as good a time as any.

    I can't even breathe just thinking about it.

    @JNerd‌ I'm in that same potty training boat. The weekend of the 17th we aren't doing anything so she's getting put in undies and soft pants and that's that. I feel like I need to prep my steam mop...

    I was diagnosed with PPD/A last fall and went on meds. I recently weaned off because we are TTC am am regretting the decision. I'm a mess. In retrospect I've anxiety since I was 9yo so dealing with post partum issues was just a small jump. Now that I have experienced zero anxiety with meds and have swung up to full on anxiety I'm struggling. I just want to get pregnant, get through first tri and go back in meds. I feel like I'm failing at everything like this.

    Are there any meds safe for ttc? I wouldn't want you to struggle through the anxiety not having an exact date that you will be able to get on meds.

    Hi-I'm a lurker but have been around the bump for years now. I've been on all the loss boards and then a little bit on SAHM before it imploded. Hope you don't mind me jumping in here but I've had depression in my early 20s but now in my 30s it has been mostly anxiety. I've been on and off low dose meds as I tend to stop once I'm feeling better for a few months. I know-bad! 

    My anxiety has flared up a bit lately so I'm calling my doctor for a refill script and also my friend recommend a therapist I think I will try. I am struggling with some extended family issues and some things with my H about future family planning and the like which I think it fueling my anxiety. I think talking to someone will help but I've been saying I'll call for months so hopefully I do it today.
