I've been suffering with my depression, I attempted suicide a couple of weeks before I got pregnant, so all my meds that were upped to a higher dose was lowered by my GP as soon as I found out I was pregnant.

But my mood has been up and down since I became pregnant.

I have a psychiatrist I see every week and she helps
