I do take meds, Prozac works the best for me, Zoloft when pregnant (pregnancy is a nightmare, but the baby is worth it!) My Catholic Counseler and my spiritual director are also huge helps, along with my sister, who is also afflicted with it. Oh, and my husband. I’m sure he’d love to see himself listed last, whoops!

My third pregnancy was a nightmare too towards the end. I had to b put on meds because I was relapsing, paranoid and was not sleeping. It was all worth it when I got to hold her in my arms. She was a 7.11 lbs baby girl.
I was suppose to be born on July 16th, the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, but arrived six days early. So I was baptized on July 16th. My father gave me my name. He was a third-order Carmelite.
They know different things now, but they’re, again, not absolutely sure. I think there’s just been more women on it when they were pregnant who have had healthy babies. The would always say to me “if the benefits outweigh the danger” or something like that.
I’m not sure which medications are antipsychotics, but I take an SSRI, which there are about three that are considered safe if absolutely needed. Being a parent is wonderful when it’s your vocation, but it takes absolutely nothing away from you if it’s not, just trust that God knows what’s best!
Thank you so much. You brought a smile on my face. Take care and God bless always.
There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God! Nothing!
Thank you for the encouragement. God bless!
Hi,
I was diagnosed last year after 2 episodes that were 9 months apart. I thought I was healed for 9 months and then I had the 2nd one. I do not still think I am in hell. My meds are working to keep me in reality. I do however believe that I might have been cursed by an occult practicioner that worked at the same clinic where I worked prior to my first episode. But my grandmother had the same illness starting in her 40’s, and I am 42. There’s also some question as to whether this could be a generational curse because my father and grandfather were both Masons – my dad being a 32nd degree Mason. Whatever it is, I am now praying for deliverance with a Catholic lay woman who is trained to pray for deliverance. I also pray the Rosary daily with my mother. Sister Lucia of Fatima said that there is so much efficacy given in the prayer of the Rosary, that there is nothing that cannot be resolved by prayer of the Rosary. So keep entrusting yourself and your loved ones to Mary through the Rosary. And pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3pm daily as well. Also ask God to increase your trust in Him.
