I have severe anxiety and depression and a borderline bipolar disorder. I havent been able to take my medicine for several weeks and its obviously very difficult. My poor fiance has to deal with my drastic mood changes too but he does it well. Other times I will be having an anxiety attack and he knows just what to do to calm me down. Its really about the support you have. I can be so hateful and mean to him and he still loves me and j know that only by the grace of God am I going to get through this pregnancy trying to balance out all of my negative emotions, but I can do it.

I take lamictal for my bipolar but I still have mood swings here and there. Its all about open communication and actively working on your issues. You can try therapy, its about learning to catch your thoughts and work through them before acting out irrationally. They have some handy workbooks at like barnes n noble for dealing with bipolar and anxiety if you don't want to do therapy. The most helpful thing my therapist told me was that when you get angry mood swings, to stop and think. She said anger is a secondary emotion that is there to alert you that something is wrong. She said to think about what emotion came first before anger, if your feelings were hurt then try to work on what hurt your feelings before you work on taking out your anger. The same thing for anxiety, try writing what you have anxiety about. And make a list of what you made have that anxiety. Then make a list of positive thoughts like if you have anxiety about your husband cheating, counteract those thoughts with things like "he would never do that" "he never cheated before so why would I think he would" etc. You can do this for any anxiety and hopefully calm yourself down some.

You should talk to your dr about safe meds for baby. Im type 1 bipolar and tried coming off my meds. I got super ill and manic. My anxiety was to the point I literally felt numb. If you think your anxiety and moods are out of control you might need to be under observations. .. just take deep breaths. Focus on your breathing. To some light exercise thats safe for baby. Go for a walk. Keep yourself busy. Im sure its hard cuz your probably super tired and anxiety doesnt help the fact. But my psychiatrist is amazing and these things help me. Another thing that might work is cuddling with your man. Let him spoon you. And breathe with him when you get anxiety. I hope this helps xo

I was like that for my first and mid second trimester. I blew up on everyone then cried and apologized..i felt so bad for my husband n his friends n family. I dont take meds for it because usually i could just control it or isolate myself when i felt anxiety or oncoming irritation. Im 37 wks 5 days n my husband now knows my triggers and will tell me to go to the bedroom or well leave somewhere if were out or just try to talk with me. He handled it amazingly
