Lately, I’ve felt just so down. I’m packed full of stress with moving apartments, finding my fiancé a car that works, catching up on bills and work and I’m a college student all while in my 2nd trimester. My self esteem has plummeted and I feel like I’m not attractive anymore. I struggled with eating disorders in high school I am recovered now but my belly is growing and I’m constantly terrified of gaining weight. I logically know that I have to reach a healthy caloric intake and I do everything I possibly can to make sure my baby has everything it needs to develop beautifully.

It’s just, my fiancé has ED and he never initiates anything (we’ve communicated about it) and I understand it’s a sensitive issue but my sex drive is through the roof and I’m so tired of my vibratory. I want intimacy. But he doesn’t touch me or really say anything about the way that I look. I try to tell him what I’m feeling but he always ends it with “youre fine, stop”.

I was on an amazing course with losing weight before I got pregnant and was gaining some sort of self worth and now I just feel that I’m back to square one. I can’t go to the gym because of my back constantly hurting and my feet swell terribly. I eat the best I can and I never sit down at work.

I’m just.. so depressed and so lost at where to go.
