depression during pregnancy, feeling so alone :'(

Out of nowhere I get this overwhelming sense of sadness, feeling like i'm nothing, like i'm all alone. I can't stand it! I'll start crying for no reason, have little to no interest in pretty much everything :( please tell me i'm not the only one...

You are not alone.  I am a mess.  I am taking medicine now to help with the postpartum depression.  My advice is don't be afraid to ask your doctor for help, but also to realize that it will go away.  It was awful with my first so with this baby...only 6 days old I am taking it literally one minute at a time and knowing that it will get better even though it doesn't seem that way right now.

If someone tells you you're being "sensitive and hormonal" don't listen. I just saw that on another similar post & couldn't believe it.

Anyway...even if you are overly emotional you have every right to feel that way. You are creating a new life and need all the emotional support especially from the father. You should talk to him and let him know you need that or from family/friends. All us pregos get sad for no reason but it's important to find that support to cheer us up. Also, do it for your baby that depends on you.  Blessings.
