I'm having a tough time lately...emotionally. I have a history of mental illness and substance abuse(I'm currently 201 days clean from all substances). I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. I was medicated but came off all my medications 3 months before becoming pregnant. I'm struggling with my emotions. It worries me that I will not be a good mother or spouse. I'm overwhelmed with my emotions. I constantly want to cry and isolate, I'm constantly aggravated, I feel like my SO doesn't feel the same about me. I used to be happy, motivated and on the go all the time. I am getting back into therapy but have terrible communication skills. I don't know what to do with myself. I feel worthless and incompetent as a mother.

From all of that, I realize that we are a lot a like. There's a lot that you said that I can directly relate to. If you ever want or need to talk, don't hesitate to message me. I understand a lot of what you're going through.

Don't! I suffer with depression and am typically on depression medications not pregnant. Our hormones are crazy right now and that's a big reason you feel the way you do! My emotions are so up and down, sometimes I doubt my relationship and how my BF really feels, and if I'm going to be a good mom and how is everything going to come together. we relate a lot. But I'm telling you it's mostly hormones. It helps to have a good support system! And it's greAt you are seeking help. I'm also 1 year and 9 months sober from alcohol. I'm always here if you need someone to talk too!!
