Please tell me something nice!
I used to have panic disorder but I was on medication and doing well. About three moths ago I got pregnant. It was planned and my marriage is great so I quit medication. However about a week after I learnt that I was pregnant I started having panic attacks. Then attacks turned into strong and persistent anxiety. I can't sleep, I can't function! I had to quit my job and after ten years of teaching, this is my first time at home and pregnant without medication! My doctor says I can start taking antidepressants after the first trimester is over. I don't know if it is okay to give names of medicines so I won't mention it. He says it is a B category medicine and harmless. After being depressed, tense and worried for about 1.5 months I have diffiiculty in believing that medication will work. I am afraid of being in this mood during the whole pregnancy and the postpartum after that?
