I suffer from depression. have since birth. definitely seek help. you need someone on your side to help you. I've had help during my pregnancy. I've been immensely depressed throughout this pregnancy. not because of pregnancy because I am thrilled for my daughter, but just because I am clinically depressed and then pregnancy hormones intensified it. I deal with it one day at a time. talk to your doctor. Also, I have been seeking help and have a support team cause I realized depression can be passed on so I'm trying to cope so that I can help my children if they are cursed with such depression when they are older. get help for you and get help for you beautiful baby.
Depression isn't your fault. I've felt like that many times. Talk to your doctor, the sooner you see someone the easier it will be to get better. It does get better eventually.
seek kelp hun . don't let the negative thoughts consume you . depression is really ugly hun . just know that you are strong and will get thru this .
I completely know how that is. I've accepted that it will be a life long battle. My depression will never go away. I treat it like the flu. If I need a sick day I take that day to stay in bed. IDK I try to live with it rather then dwell on the day it will be gone. I fear postpartum depression will hit hard. It's a battle. I hope our babies will bring a feeling that will over power such depression. I don't know how to help but I do know the prison depression puts people in.
