Depression during pregnancy. Trigger warning.

El

Hey mama's,

I'm hoping some of you whoever experienced this can chime in. Lately I've been feeling so low. Like, lower than low. I've struggled with depression and anxiety all my life but after 8 years of therapy and meds that I'm no longer on, about a year ago I proudly said I could control my depression. I can't say that anymore :( I'm a self harm survivor but he urge to self harm after sustaining for a year is so great for the past 2 weeks. Don't report me! I'm sustaining, I have reason to. It's just the mental mind fuck is exhausting.

For those that have had managed depression and anxiety prior to pregnancy, did there come a point where you had to get medicated during pregnancy? Did the hormones settle and you could avoid meds?

Thanks so much for your help.
