Some history first, I have BPD some symptoms that stem from that are anxiety, depression, bipolar (those are the symptoms for me at least every individual is different) I was on medications for a few years then decided to stop all medications. That was almost 3 years ago, yesterday I went to my OB/GYN and they’ve decided that a low dose of Zoloft would be beneficial for me throughout my pregnancy due to increased anxiety and panic attacks. I feel so defeated I was managing and doing so well and now this, it’s like I’m already letting my little one down. Yes I asked about the side effects for the baby and my doctor told me that the benefits out way the few possibilities of anything bad happening. My partner was very supportive of the decision to start the medication letting me know I deserve normalcy throughout my pregnancy.

I just needed to vent about this, I know its the right thing I just feel like I’ve been taken down a peg or two.
