Feel like a jerk

I'm on prozac for peripartum depression (I'm 18wks).  Well I forgot to take it the past two days, but felt pretty good.  Then I knocked over my cup of water in my kitchen.  Water all over me and the floor.  My boyfriend came to check on me because he heard all the commotion.  I was shaking, couldn't move, and asked for a towel trying not to burst into tears.  He got me one and I started bawling.  He tried to joke with me saying," oh hun, it's just water!  We have more than enough" and smiled.  I went off.  Started yelling at him,"you think I like crying for no reason?  Do you think I really give a sh*t about this water??"  So he got pissed and asked me if I forgot to take my prozac and I told him yes two days worth.  I cried for half an hour.  I apologized because thats not me. He knows that.  But I feel horrible.  He tried to make me feel better and I pretty much slapped him in the face.

I know how you feel after our first child was born I had severe postpartum depression and we went through all the fighting and crying, in fact my husband had to threaten to take our baby and leave me before I got help for it and he always knew I loved him and things would get better and now 4 years later we are happily married and expecting #3 so it does get better just keep taking your meds and keep your head up.

He knows your history, and he knows you're pregnant. He'll understand. Don't be so hard on yourself...I've snapped my ex's (my child's father) head off a time or two and I don't even have a history of depression. :)

My brother was bipolar, and I wouldn't take back any moment I ever had with him, good or bad. Love is like that. So remember, tomorrow is a new day, and forgiveness of self and others is important. Ask him to give you a hug and you'll feel better.
