I want a cure for my depression. Get pregnant?

•••

I’m 16 years old. I’m on birth control. But I’ve always wanted to have kids young, my boyfriend has a good job, he’s 18, and I’m applying for jobs currently. I’m never happy, and I haven’t been for a very long time. I think a baby would be a ray of sunshine in my dark times. My mom was a teen mom, and she did great. I have a great support system through my friends and family, and I think getting pregnant would be good for me. I need a reason to get out of bed and try, I need a reason to live. I could just stop taking my birth control..
