Hello looking for some advice , I’m currently pregnant and still on citalopram , I am not aloud to go to work because of COVID 19 and my daughter isn’t at school . We have just moved House . I’ve been feeling really low and feeling guilt for my daughter because of the current situation we are stuck in a lot and I think this is why I’m feeling low, I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy so I’m tired all the time . Any advice would be appreciated thanks

That's quite a lot you've got on your plate! Moving house as well as being pregnant and having a daughter at home while being stuck at home, it all adds up.
It's a lot of upheaval. Don't feel guilty about your daughter. None of this is your fault, and I'm sure you're doing your best in the circumstances. Children are pretty good at dealing with altered circumstances and however frustrating is it she will be all right.
It might be sensible to check with your doctor about the citalopram while you're pregnant. These medications are pretty safe on the whole, and studies have found that they are usually all right to take in pregnancy. But best to check, if you haven't already.
The tiredness could be a combination of pregnancy, exhaustion from the upheaval of moving, and being stuck inside the house. Try to do things you enjoy as far as possible as this helps with energy levels and motivation.
The problem with feeling low is that it demotivates you and it's easy to get stuck in the rut of depression. I'm sure there is plenty to keep you busy with your daughter at home, but make room for a bit of fun as well as the household chores.
Best of luck with the new baby. I do hope you start to feel better.
