New here and i could just use some help and kind words. I’m currently pregnant and suffering from depression. I’m already a mom of 1 and now with a new baby on the way I’m not sure how i will manage. My boyfriend and i broke up and he acts as if me or my pregnancy exists. I feel so alone and even worse because I’m feeling like i don’t want my baby. Idk what to do. I can’t be a single mom of 2 kids. I’m so broken 😞

Hello friend, I’m sorry to know that you are going through a difficult time in your life. Congratulations on your status of soon being a mom of 2 wonderful kids! I am sorry to hear that you suffer from depression. As someone suffering from depression myself I know it’s really hard navigating through life. Our brain starts thinking of the worse case scenarios. But that doesn’t mean we can’t seek help. Have you tried speaking to your family and friends about your suffering? You could also consider seeing a mental health expert. These are things that I did during my moments of mental agony and helped me a lot. DON’T WORRY. YOU ARE NOT ALONE🙂.
Have you discussed how you feel with your Doctor. It must be heart-felt that your Partner does not understand His responsibilities. Was your first child His also ?.

Hello, I am so sorry, hang in there! You can do this! One step at a time. Do you have any family or friends who you lean on for encouragement and support? - I do want to say Congratulations on your new baby yet to come! What a blessing little ones are to our lives. Have you thought about going to see a pastor for counseling? It is usually a good starting point. He can help you get started in the right direction and help you find the right kind of program for you. I am praying for you! God bless!
I am so sorry - I imagine that hurts a lot. Pregnancy is scary but can also be exciting. Have you talked to your doctor about your depression? Maybe something could be prescribed. There are also some herbal/homeopathic remedies-you might try a health food store. Please post back and let us know how you are doing.
