Sorry for the weird subject line, but not enough room allowed to describe my situation. My wife is on prozac, just recently. She is Bipolar. She's in her third trimester of pregnancy (our first), and has been off lithium ever since she conceived. only now has she gone on this new medication Prozac. She feels like she has forgotten God, and that's the worst sin, and she feels like God hates her, and that I'd be better off with out her. She also feels that I could raise our future son better without her, and that my parents could help raise him. She wants to get away from me and everyone she's around because she feels like she brings harm upon them. She's has shared with me almost daily these feelings. I've tried to encourage her, but to see your wife despair of life is crushing. What do I do? Has anyone gone through similar circumstances, or maybe share their experience with their meds while pregnant or thereafter. I'm really concerned about the postpartum period. I've read it can be pretty tough.
