Advice Please! Repost anonymous. I was diagnosed with bipolar mixed type 2 when I was 23 after being told it was depression and doing worse on depression meds for 3 years. I cannot take any antidepressants bc they make me suicidal. I was successfully taking Lamictal until my husband and I were trying to conceive our first daughter (needed fertility meds) who is now 2. I did great off the medicine while I was pregnant and breastfeeding which I did for 17 months. Then we stopped nursing so I could take the fertility meds to TTC #2. Im now 22 weeks pregnant and my bipolar is resurfacing with a vengeance. I have no patience, very easily angered and Im mean to my husband. My daughter is a typical 2 year old, very active, very sweet, very independent and I hate that I dont have patience with her. I was always very patient, very gentle, we dont hit or yell but lately I have been yelling a lot (I never hit her, I was physically abused growing up and will never hit her). My insurance doesnt cover psychiatry counseling and even if it did, I know I cant go back on Lamictal while Im pregnant and nursing but I cant go on with this anger inside. Im desperate for a natural, safe for pregnancy solution (a lot of EOs are NOT safe for pregnancy even though mlm companies make claims otherwise). Please help if you can. There are no natural path doctors in my small town so the only resource I have is this group. Is there anything that can help me through the rest of my pregnancy? I also have gestational diabetes, completely controlled by a mostly organic, health diet.
