Need some positivity

Hi All,

I’m 31 weeks and feel guilty for even posting this, considering the things other people are going through. Everything is going well with the pregnancy, we have a wonderful 2 year old who is excited to meet her big brother. My husband and I have a great relationship, he’s my best friend, except lately he has been very depressed. With everything going on in the world (COVID, war in Ukraine and WWIII, the potential for an economic collapse) he has fallen into a black hole on the internet reading on websites I don’t even understand. He said he feels hopeless about the future and I try to cheer him up but there’s nothing I can say to stop him from this downward spiral. Talking about this stuff literally makes my tummy contract, I find it so stressful. I told him for my mental health and the baby’s I just can’t go down this path with him. He said this morning he isn’t even excited about the new baby, just worried about their future. I feel like he’s turning into a conspiracy theorist and if I even mention that to him he just tells me I don’t understand and he can’t talk to me about this. I try to tell him to limit his intake of this stuff on his phone, but his response he he can’t because he can’t be delusional to what’s happening in the world. It’s so upsetting. I just want to focus on our new addition coming and he just refuses. Just my little rant, I don’t even know why I posted this, I just feel like I have no one to talk to about it. Just need some positivity.
