Hi Mighty community. I'm in need of some tips to cope. I suffer from bipolar depression, anxiety and ptsd. I'm pregnant for the 2nd time (currently have a 6 month old). I went off meds completely upon finding out I was pregnant back in May 2019. I miscarried a week later. I stayed off meds bc i couldn't put myself through another bought of the on again off again effects. I became pregnant again months later and had my daughter (the pregnancy was extremely mentally taxing but worth it when my daughter was born healthy).
I'm now pregnant again (def not planned) and am having a much harder time coping with my mental illnesses this 2nd time around seeing as I began cycling between hypomania and depression since giving birth 6 months ago and currently am still cycling on top of post partum. (I was planning on getting back on meds to be the best mom and wife I could be until I discovered I was pregnant again).
Although scared initially, I'm super excited about this 2nd pregnancy but am in need of coping tips from other parents who suffer from mental illness (particularly bipolar, anxiety and ptsd). My husband also suffers from mental illnesses and is not only on meds but also uses other vices to help ease his anxiety, etc, and is not an empathetic person at all so it has left me feeling alone and isolated in my struggles. I will be starting teletherapy next week so hopefully this will help some. I don't have friends or family who live near so I joined the Mighty community hoping to gain support and empathy all while learning how to deal.
I never reach out like this but am really in need of support. Please be gentle. #pregnantwithanxiety #BipolarDepression

I found out last week that I’m expecting baby #3.
My husband and I are over the moon happy but my anxiety is weighing on me.

I experienced a loss over ten years ago that keeps me paranoid throughout pregnancy. And I mean throughout the entire nine months.

I’m constantly aware of every tiny change, pain, feeling in my body and it’s never in a good way.
I’m so paranoid.
It consumes my day. I’m constantly googling.
Its been over five years since my youngest so I remember nothing.

I’m not far along, so I won’t see a doctor for another 4 weeks. Thst seems like years away.
My mind is always a mess.
I don’t know what to do to keep my mind at ease.
I would go to the ER for every pain in my past pregnancies and it would end up being nothing.
I just wish I could be calm.

I was recently in a relationship with someone that developed fake love for due to the treatment i was reviewing from. I guess to more explain myself earlier this year i was dating a guy who i knew i liked and was attracted to. he's someone i completely opened up to and then got Taken advantage of in the end. I am now pregnant with my son whose dad is the person i speak of. the relationship wasnt completely toxic at first but the more he knew i was wrapped around his finger the faster he grabbed hold and the harder it took for him to let go. I eventually found out he was a Registered Felony Sex offender. Whats the worst part is i mainly got pregnant because he started hiding my birth control pills from me so the longer they got out of my system. I have already had trauma from other things that happened in my past. And just when i thought i was good it went south real quick. Recently Reconnected with my Ex who i broke up with a year ago due to me being unstable for a relationship. Due to me expecting it has helped me mature faster. Especially because i was already getting there. I am 20 Year old Female who has had a long ass life of mainly trial and error with some good outcomes. I guess my other question is how do i get through the destructiveness im still slightly dealing with so i dont mess up whats happening that i know is great for me and my son. I just gotta back up and relax which with someone who has BPD, Schizoaffective Bipolar Type, And General plus Social anxiety among many more labels im struggling alot more that i realize still. #pregnantwithanxiety #Pregnancy #PTSD #SocialAnxiety #GeneralAnxietyDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #schizoaffectivebipolar #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder
