I am about ten months off meds, and now I feel that I really really wish I had them. I stopped taking them because my husband and I were going to try to get pregnant. I am now about seven months pregnant. I just feel overwhelmed. So many new things are happening to me right now, and instead of freaking out, I am frozen. I am too scared to move. I am stuck. I recently graduated college, like two weeks ago, I finished an internship, and now, we are moving into a new house. The new house is in a suburban neighborhood away from what I am used to. Away from the current neighborhood I am living in that I love. We simply can't afford to buy in this neighborhood, and the responsible thing to do is move to where we can afford it. I just am nervous and scared and so apprehensive. I feel that a major part of my life is ending, and I do not feel like I have any control. I want to cry but I can't. I am frozen inside. I cannot even get off the couch to clean, or even to eat. I don't want to. I have no desire to. I don't know what to do. I feel like I am suffocating, and no one can help me.

Has anyone been here? I don't know what to do..

Sounds like you're very nervous about the change..It's a big adaptation, but, I imagine that before saying yes to this new house that you thought about it and realized there was not much better choice. Well, changes can be difficult and scary..new house, new baby, new responsibilities..you will be really busy soon. Would it at all be possible that you join some kind of group an activity in the new area you will be moving too. that could make you know new people and familiarize you to the area. Perhaps you could drive there once a week just to walk around or go shopping or the library or church is you're religious..near where you're new house is.. I hope the transition goes well and that you find someone to talk about this.
Until then, breath, relax..you are not there yet..you'll cross the bridge when you get there..

Do you have a therapist you can see to transition though this phase of your life?

I do not currently have a therapist that I am seeing. I was seeing one, but I cannot afford to see her anymore. I am not sure where to look to find another one. I feel that I could really benefit from seeing a therapist regularly.
