Depression
I need some advice ladies: **its long..
Other than seeing a therapist, I already am seeing one.. I need some help.
I believe I am suffering from pregnancy depression? I don't know what that is called but I think that is it... or maybe it is my depression from previous to pregnancy, just getting worse?
I am miserable & I KNOW I am taking it out on my boyfriend. I try not too but then it just backfires again and in my head he isnt doing anything right (even though he is, hes amazing)
I feel like I dont want to do anything, and if I do and my boyfriend doesnt initiate it than I get upset. Lately, I've been getting upset if he tries to go out with his friends just do to the sole fact that he will get drunk and it's been a big trigger for me during pregnancy (idunno why) , or if he makes plans and I'm not included, or even if he doesnt pay attention to me enough (I know pshyco)
I feel alone. Even though I know I'm not. I am stressed ALL the time. Tired, and exhausted.
My boyfriend works away for half the month, working hard to support us for when baby comes. We live in the country, litterally butt fuck no where (to me at least lol since I moved here from the city) at a lake lot 45 minutes from anything , and when hes gone it makes it worse. We have 2 dogs, which one is a puppy and has made the depression worse (she was really stressful to train, and is in the eating litterally everything phase) , and all my family and friends are 2 hours away. I work 2 demanding jobs (I love them but they are tiring) & take care of all the house work and the dogs when boyfriend is at work.
I do not know how to get out of this funk & I need some ideas of how too. My baby has already had so much heart break and sadness from her mama these past 5 months & she isnt even born yet.
I'm already on antidepressants. They seem to not be working anymore.
Someone please give me some suggestions. did anyone else experience this?
*** update :
I live on a lake lot. Right beside a beach, so I do get lots of fresh air as I walk my dogs everyday. I take baths almost daily, I read, I color, I watch movies etc. I do go back to the city to see my friends and family. They weather has been shit (-46) so not the past couple weeks.
My problem isnt him going out. It's that when hes gone, I'm alone. When hes home, he makes plans too see his friends (even if they come over) and I just feel like it's more of a priority than me. When I know indeed it's not. Weve been fighting alot since I got pregnant & no matter what he does I seem to just get annoyed at everything. He could be at work & I'll still be annoyed at something he does even though he is in no control of it. I already have seen a therapist. I've already switched my meds. I do acupuncture, massages etc.. nothing is seeming to work. I am stressed a thousand times faster than usual. I am always emotional. I'm 19 weeks pregnant & to me it feels like everything is against me. I just do not know how to get out of this funk.
