my mom thinks that because im depressed and wanting to see a therapist to try and help so i don't get ppd is setting myself up for getting it and because im depressed now that my child is going to come out depressed and unhappy. & that seeing a therapist won't help. that it's because I'm pregnant & need to "let it go" like it isn't that easy. im constantly battling with myself everyday. i try to be positive and then in my head i go "who are you trying to fool?"

I had PPD awful! It is amazing you are strong enough to reach out already! I was very lucky with my 2nd I didn't get it. I still go to my therapist! I love new ideas

I'm bipolar and had to get off my meds when I found out I was expecting. Trust me the sooner you get help the better it'll make life much easier to not fight with yourself all the time and just be able to know you deserve to be happy!

The first step is realization. you got that down momma. now make the steps you feel are right for you and your baby. it doesn't matter what anyone thinks or feels is right for you. you know you. reaching out for help now is amazingly strong of you. I became depressed as well. I started seeing a therapist and everyone told me the same thing, that I'm setting myself up for failure. but really, it's helped me a lot.

Prenatal depression and anxiety are real and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Your hormones get messed up and there's no telling how it will affect you. While it doesn't always mean that you will get PPD, I definitely recognize your concern. Ask for help now and if necessary, bring your mom, or any other family, to an appointment so your doc can explain the severity of untreated mental health on mom and baby. I've seem your posts on this app and I have been a little concerned about you, you always seem to be sad, anxious, or upset about something. I felt the same way through my pregnancy, especially regarding body image. Ask for help momma, you are the only one who knows how you are feeling and what you are going through and only those who are educated in the matter can truly address it.
