depression at 27 weeks
Ok so I suffered from anxiety and depression prior to conceiving but had it under control with low dose medication. I did try therapy but it wasn't for me. So when I fell pregnant I managed to keep my doses to 3 times per week rather than every day and my midwife was happy with that.
Recently I've phased them out completely as I didn't feel like I needed them and BAM I'm right back into my pre-pregnancy depression. I'm on the edge of tears all the time, I'm super irritable, don't have an interest in doing things despite wanting to get out of the house and make the most of my days off. Work is super stressful. My husband and I work shifts which often clash so we don't see each other as much as we would like. I worry about money, I worry about everything constantly.
I don't know what to do for the best. I don't want to take my medication because it will need to build up in my system before I feel any better and I don't want to put the baby at risk. Therapy didn't work last time.
I feel so ashamed, I should be happy and nesting and excited but I just feel overwhelmed sad and lost 😢
Sorry for the long rambling post.
I don't really expect advice or anything just anybody going through similar?
