InnerStrength's Journal

I am having a little dilemma today.  My doctor has suggested that I try to ween off my antidepressants fully - which is a change from his original stance.  I am really anxious about this b/c I do NOT (with all my might) want to experience another episode of major depression, especially while pregnant. I have started to become very aware of my internal states and emotions since starting to embark on this weening, and at this point I am not feeling like it is a good thing to do.  I have been very cranky and smug - which for me is a sign of depression.  Also, I am not enjoying very much in life and I am highly anxious.  Additionally, stress is getting to me more then ususal and making me very irritable. 

What is really hard about this whole thing is that in the past - I have typically allowed myself to really spiral into a nasty depression B4 admitting I need to go back on my meds and this is not healthy to do right now, as I am pregnant.
