Pregnancy and Depression
I'm 8 weeks and four days with my first baby.
As of right now I've been very moody lately. I've always had strong mood swings :/
And I've been struggling with depression and self harm for six years. I've seen therapists and doctors before hand but they don't really do much for me. Since I came in so young, antidepressants were not exactly what they wanted to give me right away.
I'm 18 now and I believe my self harm has subsided compared to what it used to be. But how is anyone going to see all my scars and think I'm stable enough to keep my baby?
I would never hurt anyone besides myself.
Do you think I can be a good mother even though I struggle with those things?
I'm not trying to doubt myself or be too concerned with what others think but it's hard to not care. How would I even explain to my baby all the scars or the mood swings?
It's hard enough becoming a mom without being married in such a religious home. I feel like I've let my family down so much already. My mother hasn't ever seen the scars either. It's just so complicated :(
