Losing it.

This whole pregnancy, I've kept my emotions and mental illness in check. But the past few days I am ******* losing it.
I refuse to take my medicine while pregnant. Which is valid,  to me.  

I am just about to have a meltdown,  and there is nothing I can do to prevent it anymore.  


Not really a question.. Just trying to distract myself -__-

I'm sorry hun..
I haven't mentioned anything to my fiance either.. He is so stressed, I feel like that would be the icing on the cake for him.
I know I am strong enough not to act on anything,  but it's tough,  for sure..
I wish you the best of luck and strength kmp56287

I'm with you on this one, i refuse to take my meds for anxiety and depression because I don't want my daughter to have them in her system,  my depression has gotten to the point where I feel like I have to cut again but I tell myself that my daughter would be hurt if I chose to do so,  I put on a face just for my loved ones and boyfriend, but I can only hang on for so much longer, it's just nice to know I'm not alone.

Pregnancy hormones have surprisingly helped balance everything out,  until now.
I'm almost 37 wells,  and they're changing again I suppose..

I tried basic relaxing things,  like baths,  and stretching. But I could only trick myself for soso long. Haha

I was diagnosed with bipolar-schizophrenia, and by the time I went through a psychiatrist and got diagnosed (and hospitalized for suicidal thoughts), I found out I am pregnant.
I was perscribed Latuda because it is supposed to be pregnancy safe,  but I'm not comfortable talking an anti psychotic during pregnancy.

I just feel like I'm falling backwards again. Uncontrollable thoughts and emotions.
