Depression in pregnancy

Hey everyone. I need some help with something.. These last few weeks I've been beginning to feel depressed again.

Before my pregnancy, I had mild depression treated with medication. I had been feeling so much better for a few months before baby was conceived. I was ecstatic and over the moon when I found out I was expecting.

All of a sudden I'm having the same depressive thoughts again. Suicidal sometimes..

It doesn't take much to set me of- I'm having horrendous mood swings and treating people I love badly then getting even more upset when I realise I'm completely over reacting.

Why do I feel this way again? I'm so happy about my bundle of joy so why am I so sad?

I'm scared to see my GP cause I'm

Already a young mother and I'm worried they will think I'm vulnerable and take my baby away.

I don't know what to do. My family live miles away and my partners barely at home.

I do t wanna feel this way. I get suicidal thoughts but is beer do anything. The thought of my baby and brother and sister and mum stops me. But I also don't want to have these feelings racing through my head. I know I have extra hormones but it's more than that just now.

I can't take being alone it just gives me time to think about my shitty life.

I'm scared of myself. Has anyone else been through this? And what did you do?

I often wonder why nobody wants to spend time with me because I'm always alone and I have extreme money worries.
