this depression is getting the better of me....if any mom's know of a way to help me any advice…

I had let my depression go out of control a month ago. I was admitted in to the psychiatry ward for a week. I got sleep. Time away from the world( no internet nothing) and was able to evaluate myself. Sometimes the medicine is the best and only option for you. I advise at least therapy to talk it out and if your up for it there's nothing wrong with a tiny dose of the meds.

I'm 16 weeks and don't wanna hurt the baby but my son is 1 in 2weeks and his grandparents bought him his first bike and animal and room and toys and everything I feel like I'm just the mom just puts him in timeout and gets him nothing fun....I know I'm wrong but I can't stop this feeling that my son hated me cuz I'm pregnant

@dessie0621, 👆🏼

I think there are some meds that aren't really harmful or that bad for you to take during pregnancy. But m not 100% see what options are there. Talk with your doctor or which ever support clinic

I take a base dose on Prozac since I found out I was pregnant. Honestly weighing the option between what's better? The benefits or the risk? Depression during pregnancy if not handled the correct way and can extend after the baby is born which isn't good. I started the meds and honestly, it's like I found the light switch in a room lit by a candle. I can function without it but it's the small things that start to add up that can hurt you in the long run

I felt like my first was mad at me for a while when I had his brother. I feel like we are not as close as we were when he was an only child. With him only being 2, that breaks my heart. He's not a mamas boy anymore. He doesn't like to cuddle or read books with me. When he gets mad at me, he says things like "I wanna go to Nanas" and I hate that he would rather go there bc they buy him every toy. And pregnancy can definitely make you feel depressed. Try talking to someone.

sorry to bother everyone thanks for ur advices.....I just think it's these stupid hormones....I feel selfish cuz I want all my son's first to be with me and no one else and my bf keeps telling I'm his mom it's not my job to spoil him and always give in its my job to be his parent....I just want him to stay mommies little boy cuz I also don't feel as close to this pregnancy as I was with him....maybe I'm making everything that's nothing into something....I was sensitive to start before I got pregnant . plus it's weird cuz I didn't have this depression with my son.
