Depressed
My husband is in the army. We are stationed in Alaska. 5000 miles away from home, Florida.
I have no friends up here. The people that I have befriended make no effort to hangout or come over, even though I offer.
I can't get a job on post because I'm pregnant and we only have one car. I can't take my husband to work because he has to drive back and forth between 2 places for his job.
The nearest job off post is 12 miles away. I'm pregnant and can't walk in -10 to 40 degree weather. Not to meantion the snow and ice.
I'm not happy up here. I stay home all day and clean. My husband comes home and it's like I never even cleaned.
I'm not happy anymore. I've tried talking to my husband but all he says is that he works hard and he shouldn't have to come home and clean. He says I need a job and I've told him countless times about the situation. It goes in one ear and out the other. I'm not sure what to do anymore.
All of this, minus the baby (I would never ever regret or blame the baby) has taken a negative affect on my life. I'm not sure how to handle it all. I don't want to take medicine for being depressed because I don't want to hurt the baby, but I want to be happy.
