Hey guys...I think just trying to reach out to anyone who might understand. I think just knowing that someone, somewhere actually might would make me feel better. I've been on lexapro on and off since I was 15 for primarily anxiety, but depression too. I've been on it solid now for about 3 years and I do really well on it - the difference is like night and day.
That is, until this last January, when I got pregnant. It was anything but planned but me and my husband were pumped anyway. The unfortunate side is that I've had to go off the lexapro for the last trimester (i went off for the first trimester too and completely crashed and burned but thats another story for another day) and was doing surprisingly well UNTIL Wednesday - when I was let go from my job COMPLETELY unexpectedly and they wouldn't even give me a real reason. I'm definitely suspicious that it has to do with my maternity, but I live in a "right to hire right to fire" state, so they don't really have to give me a reason. At any rate, I'm less than 2 months from my due date, and my insurance will cut off about 3 weeks before I have the baby, and we weren't in the best financial situation even BEFORE this.
I am a WRECK. I can't sleep, eat, and am having massive panic attacks multiple times throughout the day and night, and I need to get it together so I can try to pick up the pieces and form a plan.
Does anyone have any suggestions, anything that's helped your anxiety thats not medication related?
