Hey mamas!

This is kind of hard to admit but I have been having severe anxiety the last few weeks, to the point I’ve been obsessively stressing, can’t sleep and can’t stop researching.

I have been so unrealistic stressed about finances. We are fine financially but for some reason I’ve been overwhelmed about student loan debt my hubby and I have. These loans are in deferment because we’re in grad school and we don’t have to start being paying the full amount for about 2 years. I’m currently working towards my masters to become a BCAB and my hubby is working towards his Special Education degree. Overall we’re going to be more than fine financially but I’ve been looking at salaries, making made up salaries, creating budgets, just going oddly insane. I wake up in the middle night and start the process all over again.

The stress is so unrealistic but still feels so overwhelming. I feel like a hamster wheel is running my head and I can’t stop. It’s to the point I’m worried and my hubby is getting very concerned about the compulsion.

I feel like the mental stress is taking a toll on both me and baby and I have a feeling this anxiety is highly related to hormones.

I wanted medication as a last case resort but I’m starting to think we’re there and I need something to ease my mind and stop this spinning hamster wheel.

Have any of you used Zoloft during pregnancy. What are the pros / cons. I’m going to speak to my doctor about it this Tuesday.

Thank you ladies!
