I’m 30 years okd (in a few days), a mother to a 4 month old (after 8 years of trying to conceive) and I have suffered with anxiety for around 12 years. 

I tried meds two types of meds when I was 19 but I didn’t like them. I can’t remember why. I did therapy when I was 19, 27 and 29. I just end up feeling empathetic towards it and disinterested. 

I had a hard birth with my son (pre-eclampsia) and I was doing so well. For the last week or so though, I’ve struggled. I can’t control my emotions. 

I don’t know if it’s time to medicate. I’m not the worst I’ve been by a mile, but I’m sad. 

When did you know it was time?
