I feel like such a failure as a girlfriend sometimes and I feel like I'm going to feel the same way…

For me it comes in waves. I feel fine most of the time. Then for a couple of days out of the month I feel like my life is just a endless black void of hopelessness. I actually scheduled my first appointment with a councilor to help me deal with those dark days.

im sorry for what u are going through sweetheart. i know how it feels. with my first it was like this. i was also going through a hard time in my life at the time so that just added to it. after i gave birth our housing situation was bad i felt joy at having my baby but i developed post partum depression after birth which lasted atleast a year. it does go away after. it has to do with the hormones while pregnant. the best i advice is to do things you love and make u happy, spend time with people who make you laugh and feel loved, stay away from negative critical or mean people, pray and meditate on God's word, listen to positive music, and pamper yourself even if u don't feel like it. nails, hair, new clothing - it really makes a difference on ur mood. 💖 bless u

@babybean0015, I had a bad experience with counselors, I don't trust them.

@yahuahsdaughter, I'd totally pamper myself if I had the money to do so.. I feel so bad for feeling the way I do.. I try to ignore it all the time. but thank you! I'll probably listen to music to help..

aww i feel ya. things are rough these days. try the music. music always helps me feel better. even if its instrumental. i also listen to soft worship music. it helps me calm down.

hey dont feel bad. its totally normal! everyone has a different pregnancy and some of us react different to the hormones and pregnancy chemical processes. one thing i did that helped me also was a little mental activity like for example, when u have a bad negative though "reject "it in ur mind and theb replace it with a positive thought. like say "No. and then say something positive. i know it sounds silly but it actually helps ur mind start blocking out those bad thoughts. after a while u will realize when its just the hormones and u will automatically reject it instantly and know its not u. just remember this isnt you.
