Feel super alone

I don’t know why but all I do at the moment is sob, I’m 22 weeks tomorrow and I’m so exhausted all the time, I cry at absolutely everything and all I want is my mum. I really don’t feel supported at all, even with my midwife team or partner, I just consistently cry for my mum (she’s not with us anymore) and it sucks. I feel so hopeless, does this feeling ever go away? What do I even do to stop feeling like this

May I ask if you were depressed in such this way before you got pregnant? What I can tell you is that being pregnant is a huge emotional journey and then if you have life events or traumas or transitions of any kind while pregnant and even after it can make Pregnancy even harder. I would reach out to your OB for help as soon as you feel comfortable doing so. And hopefully find local groups even for just a shoulder to cry on.

I’m literally going through exactly this!!! No support from my partner, made to feel crazy, and midwife just doesn’t seem interested in anything that’s going on. Reach out to me if you like girl! I’d appreciate talking to someone going through the same thing idk about you. I cry for my mum a lot too, but she’s hundreds of miles away and can’t get to me or I to her. Thought I was going insane with that one, I think maybe talking to someone going through the same thing may help? May make you feel less crazy about things. I’m here for you either way girly xx

@Heather yeah I suffer with depression and anxiety, I just wish that I had a few friends I could talk to

We are all here for you. Your community is huge. Just give a hollow.

I lost my mum 15 years ago & I remember finding out I was pregnant & instantly the emotions were overwhelming as all I wanted was to tell my mum. You are becoming a mother & naturally you want your mother by your side. I just told myself & still do, me & my son have the best guardian angel watching over us & protecting us. I gain some peace from that. You are more than welcome to message me privately & we can talk whenever you want. Your mother is watching over you, don’t never think otherwise. Xxx

I felt the same way but about my grandma. Both of my pregnancies were hard and I was depressed but despite that I never had postpartum depression. I was and have been on lexapro which helps a lot. Therapy and things to look for helped too.

@Lauren thank you ml💕 it’s been especially tough with Christmas coming up too so I think that’s what’s bought on all these feelings

No need to thank me girl, just know you aren’t alone. Listen, no time of the year is easy but I know exactly what you mean. You have so much to be positive about going forward, let that outweigh the ‘sad’ feelings xxx
