How do I even cope anymore?

There's nothing you can do during pregnancy to feel good. You can't smoke, drink, get piercings, tattoos, go to loud places like clubs or concerts, go out hiking in hotter weather, stuff of that sort.

I recently almost died on the trail from heat exhaustion at 23w 5d. I want something to distract myself, I already dyed my hair but my skin doesnt even feel mine any more. Im tired of being shortened to nothing but a fucken husk and transporter for this baby. I love him so much but people keep making me feel more and more like shit. Is there ANY distractions safe for baby at this point? Even natural shit is like "well might not be safe!! No testing!" Go fuck yourself. I cant even be on my well needed necessary mood stabilizers and am stuck on 60mg of Prozac that doesnt do shit.

Im sorry, Im so tired, lost, frustrated, and dealing with possible PTSD all while being now 24w 4d pregnant. I just want a piercing so I can distract myself with pain/maintenence and cleaning, and despite my OBGYN saying it's fine everyone is making me feel like shit for wanting to get it except my husband.

I dont want to die but I dont feel very alive right now. Anything to do? Please dont give me meditation, Ive tried it. Tried faith/religion, tried going to the beach (heat triggers me and makes me panic now), tried going for walks (same issue), tried listening to music, tried talking through it with my husband, tried meds. I feel so broken and alone right now

Trying to go white!

Where do I go from here? I bleached with a 35 (artic fox Please, Bleach) and toned with Ion Icy White, should I follow up with a 10 or 20 bleach? I also used purple shampoo and allowed it to chill for about 10 minutes

Im at 200mg (4 pills, dosed at 50 each, 100 at the beginning of the day and 100 at 8 hours) while I wait for Busprione Hcl 10mg (2 pills, dosed at 5 each, 5 at the beginning and 5 at the end) to work and this feels AMAZING. I want this to be the thing that I continuously take and be on. Im scared that the Busprione won't work as good and Ill be stuck feeling like I always felt. Shitty, tired, and much less happy. Anyone else feel this way on hydroxyzine?

I took a whole everything shower! I havent done that in so long, conditioned my hair, used a sugar scrub, lotioned all up, and felt GOOD doing it! Im more grounded, I can see color and hear nature better again! Hopefully busprione will continue this feeling, I want to forget what anxiety ever felt like.
