UPDATE! So, we are now the parents of an AWESOME 1 year old little boy. He is the most precious, brilliant, and mischievous child you'll ever meet! So much has changed since I first joined this site--it's incredible. It just reinforces that things are temporary and things WILL get better. It is so hard to see that when you are going through a low but it's amazing what life can throw your way that changes everything.Originally Posted by jumpingmuffin
We were pleasantly surprised to find out we were expecting July of 2016. And there were times that I was anxious (stayed on my Effexor during pregnancy--was under the care of a maternal fetal medicine specialist--and had zero issues!) but I had an awesome pregnancy and even went on to have our baby through the help of hypnobirth and zero pain meds. It was the most empowering thing of my life!!!
At around 5 months PP, I started having panic attacks again, which I was told was due to hormonal changes. Things got back on track again, and then 3 weeks after weaning my son and weaning from Effexor, as I thought I would be able to, we found me back on the crazy train again! So I have started Cymbalta and I am currently on Day 3/4. I am keeping a diary of the day to day if you would like to follow that and what it is like having a small child and living with GAD/Panic/ OCD.
Thank you all for reading and commenting! The support here is unreal. Keep up the faith and take it day by day!! xx
