Alone

[linethf]

All i need is someone to talk to. Im 7 weeks. Have no support of the baby's father. I feel like me being depressed is going to cause damage to the baby. Any of you ladies know any support i can get? Emotionally.

I have done this alone at one time. I has no real family connection and was even disowned by my father for a few years. I was 15 yrs old and by myself. I got myself a place and did what I had to do to get by. Food bank and social assistance etc. I eventually when back to high school and then to college all while taking care of her myself. It was hard, difficult and very lonely at times. It does get better and it was all worth it. I kept a journal, I found people ai could talk to which o e was my principal who was male but the best support I could have had. I focus on what I had to do for my child and it got easier to be alone, it was a confidence builder and now I have so much life experience and can handle any situation. U will have a beautiful child who will love u and depend on u and know nothing else. U can do this u just have to decide how u will approach this situation.
My ex who left when I was 15 yrs old was the love of my life and I was his. He had to wait 9 yrs before I excepted him back and now we have been together almost 10 yrs and have a 21 yr old a 4 yr old and are expecting. I don't know your situation but sometimes it can change and maybe u can become a couple or he will just be a great dad. If not don't dwell and let others in, u may find the love of your life and have it all.
Good luck

Sorry to hear your going through this. Maybe try speaking to your doctor to see if there are any support groups or programs that you can get involved in to help you through this. You can do this!!

I am sorry you are going through a tough time right now. There is much support right here. I would also try looking for resources in your community that may offer counseling or support groups if talking to family or friends is unhelpful. I also know of a program called nurse family partnership, a nurse teams up with you during your pregancy and meets with you regularly being a personal resource for you, she will help connect you to community resources, be there for emotional support, and bring you information on having a healthy pregancy. They even help until your baby turns two with things like potty training and milestones. I had them when I had my first baby, their number is 1 866 864 5226, the can set u up with a nurse near your area. I wish you all the best. Positive vibes are being sent your way

My family knows. But they arent the type i can cry on the shoulder to.

Poor dear! I did it alone the first time around, and have a 12 year old lovely little girl. And this time I'm married to a wonderful man and feel supported, but i know what you're going through, i remember how it felt. I got a lot of help through prayer and meditation even though I'm not religious, and it was hard and impossible but totally worth it. It's a most worthy struggle and you can do it and it will get better. Just focus on the happiest thought for today, make it through today, and just do what you can. Hang in there. It's well worth it!

You don't need the father. All you need is you and that baby. And maybe some support from your family.. Have you told them yet?
