Dealing with depression

Tara

I’m 24 weeks and today is hitting me especially hard for some reason. I don’t have a lot of woman my age to talk to whom I’m close with that understand what it’s like being depressed while pregnant. I can’t wait till my baby is here but not being able to talk to anyone in my family except my grandma and brother, is hard. I’m not one to message people first especially if I have to consistently do it so I just keep to myself and bottle all my emotions up until they just explode. My boyfriend is amazing but there’s not much he can do when I feel this way. And his family is amazing but it’s not the same when it’s not your family… I go to therapy but it’s like I’m just sitting there telling someone my feelings and she already tells me what I know to do - take deep breaths, meditate, do yoga, go out and distract myself basically from all my problems. Yeah doesn’t help me a whole lot. Honestly not having a relationship with your mom is hard to deal with. And my sister is 2 weeks behind me but doesn’t tell me anything unless I ask. I hate feeling this way. And I refuse to take medication. Any help would be appreciated even if it’s kind words. 🧡
