I know things feel impossible right now, and I honestly can't even imagine what you're going through in terms of the pregnancy. But what I do know is that making the decision to keep your baby and sticking with that decision despite what other people are telling you makes you one hell of an amazing woman and soon-to-be mother, and I can also tell you this: you aren't alone. You are carrying a child that is depending on your survival and love. You are literally growing a miracle. While I've never known pregnancy, I have known depression. I know how impossibly dark it can feel. Like you've just hit the absolute bottom. Sometimes it can last for days, or weeks, or months. But one day, and it may not even be obvious at first, but you'll realize that you feel a little different. Maybe something makes you genuinely smile (and maybe it'll be your child), or you just feel lighter somehow, like a weight has begun to lift. It will come, I promise.In the meantime, please please PLEASE don't be afraid to reach out for help and support through this difficult time. It doesn't make you weak or a failure. Therapy is truly a great place to start. It helped me immensely, I can't stress that enough. You're going to come out of this and with new strengths and lessons. You're not alone, I can promise you that ❤
Pregnant & alone...typical
I have no one. I'm 14 weeks pregnant trying to get my life together before I give birth. Only support I have is coming from my mom. Which is amazing I love her but idk I feel like it's not enough...cuz even she worries. I haven't told my siblings about my pregnancy yet, I know they will judge me so bad and I just can't handle that right now . The baby daddy is begging me to get an abortion. Which I know I'm not doing, it's completely out of the question, but he isn't taking no for an answer cuz it will "ruin his life" I feel so fucking alone. I cry every night. I genuinely feel like ending my life, it's the only way I know for certain all of this can just be wiped away, undone if you will. But then I think about the future and what my baby would look like and I get excited.
I just wish I could have a happy go lucky pregnancy..I know being a single mother will be hard but damn didn't know the struggles started already. Deep down I know this depression is fleeting I won't feel like this forever. I know I will prove everyone that's ever doubted me wrong. I have to. But damn I feel so down, like the closest to hurting myself I've ever been since I stopped cutting.
Just want to know what some people do to get through this dark cloud
