Going through a lot. Need help. Constant flood of emotion.

I am 14 weeks pregnant. This is my first kid. I have been so emotionally unstble with all the changes. I had to drop college . my father is a pastor. And just a great ordeal of triumph. I choose not to be with my kids father anymore because he is very emotionally abusive and threatens to be physically. I am constantly be- littled by him . I used to leave him a lot before but he'd always come around acting like he's going to change . finally I was like enough is enough . therefore I am not with him. Not only that but he is 26yrs old and is so caught up on living his life ,he can't even keep a job. And tells me get off my *** and find one. I have every intention to work but emotionally I need to be together so I'm not breaking down on the job .  The problem is everyday I am crying and all the things he's ever said to me plauge my mind . I can't sleep . I'm really emotionally distraught . My mom has come around and I can talk to her more now but I don't want to go in depth of everything cause my mom already doesn't like him and will take it to another level . the law might be involved . he already has a felony . I just need advice on how to stop crying, and what can I do to relieve my mind I've tried everything from prayer to a walk in the park.

I'm sorry about what you're going through. I would try to find things to keep your mind clear, take a walk or be with a friend, draw or write to express your emotions, read a book, do some yoga, just try to think positive. Hormones definitely make things tough too. Try to eat something, you have to think of your baby and make sure they're getting good nutrition. If your feeling down try talking to your belly, sounds weird but it might help. I'm not religious in any way but find some way to let out all those emotions whether it be doing things that I mentioned or talking to someone or praying because bottling it up will only make things worse. I hope things get better for you. Everything happens for a reason.

Aw.  Hun. I'm so sorry. My dad's a pastor, and I  can't imagine how difficult it would have been if I became pregnant out of wedlock. :/ Just curious, why did becomming pregnant mean you had to drop out of college?

Even when we screw up big time, God has a way of using our mistakes for His glory. Look at the geneology of Jesus. Do you know how many illegitimate children He's directly descended from? You're not alone, and God still loves you. He still has a plan for you, and for the precious baby inside your belly.

It sounds like you really need some good Christian friends or a mentor to support you right now, which I know that can be hard. Christians seem to forget they have sin and cast the first stone at anyone who dares to get pregnant out of wedlock....as if their sins are any less severe and God hasn't had to forgive them to the same degree.

As for not having a job, I know it *****, but sitting around doing nothing will only make your depression worse. Even if you're only working a day or two a week, I'd suggest finding something to start small with. Either that, or some sort of hobby or a place you can volunteer.

Finally, if you need someone to talk with, please feel free to message me. Not that I can offer much help, but I can give you an unbaised ear. :)

See if your community have a support group for mothers or moms to be , I usually shed a few tears , write down my feelings , say a prayer then rip it up. Doesn't do much , but it relieves some tension
