Hello, I am active on 3TIF and I just discovered this board. I hope it's ok if I join!
I have a history of depression with a couple major depressive episodes in the past. I was treated with Lexapro but weaned off it a couple months after starting TTC.
I have always had an element of anxiety but until recently it was not dominant. Infertility has greatly increased my anxiety (we have been TTC for 2.5+ years and I am currently in treatment with an RE). Recently a lot of stressors piled up and my mental health took a rapid nosedive, culminating in my worst ever panic attack. I started on Zoloft for panic 3 days ago.
Thankfully I have a really excellent support system. H doesn't always understand, but he tries very hard. My parents are very loving and supportive. I have the most amazing friends who are truly there for me. I have an excellent therapist for the first time in my life. I am hopeful that I can work though this episode.
Girl, I completely understand you about the stress of IF. It is motherfucking hell. I wish the best for you and please lean on us as much as you need. It's not a super active board but we try to check in every week and set goals for ourselves. There is also a private sub board if you want to discuss more personal issues. Take care!
