I was diagnosed with BP about the time I found out I was pregnant. I tried just being on prozac but it didn't help. I have a long history of substance abuse and depression, sober for 2 years. My psych doc yanked away my clonazepam and now I feel I'm going to lose it.(she actually told me to wean off it) from prozac I was switched lamictal (on it for 7 days now) and my doc added wellbutrin today because of the anger issues and major depression. I feel so guilty about being on meds and pregnant but I can barely do it like this so how can I without meds? How do you handle being pregnant and being BP? I would have never let myself get pregnant is I had know it would be like this.

Lately, I've been on a loop.Ever since I opened up my depression and losing friends because of it has made me more bipolar than ever. Every little thing seriously bothers me. From being alone 24/7 to wanting to just disappear because I can't stand the feeling of anger that builds up. I feel so unsatisfied with my life because I feel like I am never going to get out of it. I don't know how to make...
I have heard of some people taking up yoga during pregnancy. Maybe that could help? Writing and visual journaling work for me.
