Does anyone else have a serious mental illness or does their SO have one that is making things difficult in the relationship, especially in the pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" /> Both myself and my SO have mental illness yet lately it's been causing a great deal of stress. I have so much to post in regards to things going on but I first wanted to get some insight as well as know if anyone would be interested in hearing what I have to say and give advice?

Answer

I was diagnosed with severe depression when I was in 9th grade and have been on antidepressants since then (7 years in total), my doctors had me stop taking them once I became pregnant and let me tell you my emotions have been jacked up x2. Luckily my S.O has been really patient and is trying to help me as much as possible.

Answer

My husband has depression, OCD, anxiety and bipolar. It was very difficult early on in our relationship when he was going through his manic stages. I've always been very supportive of him and knew upfront about everything. I would never hold anything against him and we have always worked through any issues.
We have been together a little over 3 years now and he is off his meds and doing so much better!
