Hmm, mine are 25. Maybe it just needs to be a higher dosage. I did have to go all the way to the max for my Zoloft to work.

25 is nothing lol

I'd ask about a higer doseage

Okay, lol. I'll have to see about that then.

I currently suffering from major depression and anxiety. I have very LOW self esteem with suicidal thoughts off and on. I do see a therapist and taking depression and anxiety medication, but I still struggle with it. It doesn't help I haven't had the best past and that is where I focus alot of my self esteem on. I also currently pregnant with a boyfriend that at times tells me that he doesn't love me, and if I weren't pregnant he would be able to go be with someone younger, beautiful with a flawless body that is 10 times hotter than me, but instead he is stuck with me. That pretty much tears any tiny bit of confidence I may of had to shreds. To be pregnant and constantly self conscience of your changing body then told by the one person who should love you and your changing body that not only are you not attractive, but being pregnant makes you even less attractive then before pretty much makes life hell for someone who already faces depression and struggles with self confidence that has already been destroyed by previous relationships and past jobs. It is NOT easy

Speak with your doc about what is best for you. There are risks and benefits to every med.

I personally was on prozac and seroquel my whole pregnancy and Cora is fairly normal

I take Lamictal for bipolar and Vistaril for anxiety. Lamictal is Category C which means that they haven't done enough studies to be able to say for sure that its safe, but many pregnant women take it and I've never seen anything documented where they had any troubles (I haven't had any problems myself). Vistaril is safe.

Mention these medications to your doctor (and do your own research) and maybe you and your doctor can determine if either of these will help you.

Sometimes... I think some wounds just won't ever heal. And that frustrates me. It frustrates me because I feel like I should be "over it" and I'm not. I mean, sometimes I am. Some days I can be like "whatever, I don't care about ___ leaving or ___ being an ass". But then some stupid little trigger pops up out of nowhere and it hits me full smurfing blast all over again. Its like, I just can't ever heal...

And that makes me feel like cutting. Because that pain is SO much better than this stupid pain that refuses to go away.

I'm in a really icky mood tonight.

I'm sorry mama. I've been pretty down lately too. I need to get ahold of my counselor but I just don't feel like talking about it all anymore.

I know the feeling. I haven't been to my therapist in a while, even though I really should.

Ugh.

I just don't feel like it helps. It's awkward and I know I'm being judged. I can't afford to go anywhere else though

Are there any other counselors at the place you go?

Yes but most are men and that makes me completely uncomfortable. I'm just going to see if they'll up my meds.
