I often worry too, and when I have to take my meds I often get angry at the thought that this might be for life. But then if I really think about it, people have all kinds of illnesses they have to live with, and if they can do it hey I can, too! My mum has just recovered from cancer and keeps worrying whether it'll come back - unfortunately you never know, the same goes for relapse. You can only do the best you can each day and avoid trouble - by that I mean triggers and situations that could make you relapse.
I'm sure you'll be a good mum, I can see from your posts that you're a kind, supportive person and I know you will do your best! But I understand your concern, my husband and I are considering having a baby soon as well, and that brings a whole lot of worries. I know that I will love my babies when they come and do all I can for them - I believe it's the same for you. And congratulations on expecting! (I read a few of your previous posts.) And about work, it shouldn't define us I think. You will find your way no matter what, I'm sure.
It is worth going on, of that I am sure, even when I'm at my worst!
