Re: I realize now that I don't really want a psych ward!

Another thing I was thinking about, is that when I was pregnant, my Depression increased about 200 percent. The doctor told me it was purely hormones. I had actually been off medication for a while, but IMMEDIATELY had to go back on, because within 3 weeks I had gone from fine to suicidal and cutting myself in my bathroom! Pregnancy wreaks havoc with an already overworked body. Add this up with your horrible life situation and it's no wonder you're feeling like.. well, like crap. I know what all the 'naturalists' say about psychiatric medications.. that they're toxic, etc etc. But, I can say from experience... being toxin-free doesn't do you a whole lot of good if you want to die! If you can safely up your Zoloft, go for it. Tweet
