Anyone deciding now not to breast-feed?

Hold your flames... 

I have a horrible social anxiety, that with the proper medication, helps me 100%... but since becoming pregnant I have had to switch since the medications are not safe for baby.  The new medications do not work well, so much that I feel really out of control and I cannot WAIT until this baby comes and I can be my old self.  If anyone has suffered from depression, it's sort of like that... the fog of just wanting to feel like your old happy self (I had PPD with DS #1, so i can tell you the longing to just feel "normal" again is so intense like that.). 

Obviously these medications will not be safe to take while breast-feeding and I know that me being me will help our family more than the benefits of breast-feeding.  So once our kiddo is out I will be starting the medications asap.

But, the Mommy guilt is there... someone tell me I'm being ridiculous, that it's OKAY!  And if anyone is in the same boat... I could use some company.
