depressed and lying about it
OK so here's my problem. And bare in mind the only reason I can manage to speak about it here is it is basically anonymous....so here it is....basically ever since I became pregnant (about 8 weeks) I have been majorly depressed and doubtful of myself and my situation but whenever someone asks me about it....I lie and say I'm fine....I can't bring myself to talk about it.....so any recommendations on how to feel better or how to be able to talk about it?
what helps me is find people that are goig thru the same thing so you will feel comftable talking about it and not feel lke people looking at you like a nut case
your not alone i wold like to speak to you one and one cuz im going thru the same thing if that ok with you
Men dont understand that with pregnancy comes hormones... my bf is the SAME way!! He tells me that i always b**** but he gives me reason! Try to explain to him that ur hormones are raging
Just to clarify some questions. I've been to the doc and had my first ultrasound and that did get me really excited but once the appointment and all the newness was over I went right back to feeling really depressed. And its not that I'm embarrassed of what people think....I had a bout with really severe depression in high scholar and did some really stupid tiff because of it and when I get upset or depressed people (like my fiance) seem to assume I will go back to those bad habits and treat me like a mental patient and I don't want that. I don't want any special treatment I just want someone to give a damn. I think part of the depression comes from the fact the my fiance and I fight ALOT. He says I'm constently crabby and harping on him and yelling at him but I'm really not...I'm just finally putting a foot down toward some of his stupid behaviors cut he needs to suck it up and grow up....he's going to be a daddy which he claims he's always wanted...but its starting to feel like he regrets the decision to have me as the mother because of my "attitude"....
In my first trimester I was the same way with my emotions. Its probably just regular hormones. It got better for me in my second trimester but then the dad left so that brought on so many depressed emotions I'm still fighting in my third trimester. Just hang in there and have confidence in yourself. Look in the mirror everyday and tell yourself you can do this. You were given this baby fr a reason. Etc :) toy got you're girl!
I had depression with my first child. Your doctor can give u meds for it. If you don't get some help it may cause severe postpartum depression. Is there any certain reason u don't want to tell people are u worried what they might think or embarrassed?
