Depression & Anxiety

[AczLjs]

I am 27 years old and I have struggled with anxiety and depression for about 5 years now. When my current boyfriend and I met, I was in a bad spot in my life and he really stood by my side and we eventually started dating after being close friends for about a year. He really helped me gain control of my symtpoms even though my family tried everything to make us break up. I grew up without my father and an extremely narcissistic mother. Anytime I am in a relationship, she tries ruining it because she needs to believe that my siblings and I all need her and only her. In October, we haf a baby boy and I developed PPD. My boyfriend was very supportive but it hurts to not have a mom to turn to for these things. She always turns in into her somehow being the center of attention. And even though my boyfriend is doing his best to help me, he never struggled with depression or anxiety so he gets frustrated that I'm in a bad mood a lot. I am scared that I'm going to ruin this relationship and I hate the lonely feeling. Even when he is here, I still feel so alone because he doesnt fully understand how I feel and it makes me feel like a huge burden and a horrible mother.
