Like genuinely diagnosed bipolar. Bipolar2 here!

I had my first episode after my first kiddo was born and have been struggling with it since. This pregnancy I haven’t been on any medications Bc they’re not super pregnancy safe.

So my question is, are you on any medications?

If so, what are you taking? How has it effected the pregnancy?

If not, what are you doing to survive? Have you had any episodes? I’m just really struggling.

My entire second trimester was a serious depressive episode. Ive had about 2 months of stability this trimester, now the last weekish I’ve been slipping into another depressive episode + being hairpin trigger easily overstimulated which is causing aggression/being overwhelmed. I’m overwhelmed by the sight of mess (with a toddler is impossible to avoid), smells set me off, and too many sounds. And this only happens during an episode. Add in pregnancy hormones and I’m just a damn mess.

So any advice is helpful 😅
