Does anyone have a diagnosed mental health condition such as anxiety or depression during pregnancy?

If so, how are you coping? My anxiety has been sky high during pregnancy and I’m tired of feeling this way. I also worry about it affecting the baby.

Answer

anxiety, depression, ptsd & bpd 🤠

Answer

Not DXed during pregnancy, but current DXs (while pregnant) severe anxiety disorder, panic disorder (which differs from anxiety in anxiety has an identifiable trigger for panic attacks and panic disorder there is no identifiable trigger...you just panic to panic and it's absolutely lovely 🙄) agoraphobia, and PTSD. Pretty sure depression can be added to that list. I've been struggling with it since my last therapist pre-covid. I just use the coping grounding methods we worked on. Sometimes I can stop the panic attacks. Other times it's too late or too much and I just go through the attack and know that I'm not dying and then work on aftercare.
