Losing my mind

[BethanyRosa1999]

Hi guys, August is a hard month for me and it's my birthday coming up more importantly my 21st recently I haven't felt the motivation to do anything I've lose my job recently due to my mental health declining it's took me a while to recover off some really traumatic stuff put it that way, but I don't feel like I've recovered. Sitting up in bed feels like a wave of sickness and I can't eat my food anymore two bites and I'm full losing weight rapidly sometimes my thoughts scare me, I worry for my safety but I always seem to calm.down eventually it's just recently it's been really hard to see the light in life

Anyway top of the matter is I think I'm pregnant I used the pull out method and he failed a few times I know it was stupid not to take precautions the dad isn't exactly going to be an influence on this child and really how can we say that I can be? I'm nothing

I don't know what to do my family are strong Catholics I don't know how they'd react

Don't be so hard on yourself. You've just achieved a major step by asking for advice, that's never easy. I think it might be sensible to speak to a doctor if you're not feeling great. They'll be able to refer you to someone to talk to.

You should do a pregnancy test to put your mind at rest if your next period doesn't happen. Most importantly, don't panic. You might not be pregnant, and if you are there are options open to you.

Lastly, you're not nothing! Please don't ever think that about yourself, you're going through a rough time and sometimes we all need a little help with things but that's not a sign of weakness at all. You've asked for advice and help, that's one of the bravest things you can do.

I hope things work out for you x

Oh I am so sorry you're going through this rough period. But you stepped up to ask for help, which is a good thing. Maybe try to speak to your GP if you don't feel great, they might be able to help you. It's a step forward for your recovery.

If you think you're pregnant then do a pregnancy test, it's the only way to know for sure and it puts your mind at peace. If you see your period is late then to the tests. You might not be, even if you were not careful it doesn't mean you are pregnant, the chances are high only in your fertile window and even then, you don't have 100% chances of getting pregnant. Take a test and start from there. See your GP, pregnancy or not pregnancy, I am sure they can refer you to someone to talk to or they just be able to help going through this tough time.

I wish everything works out for you
