Depression

I feel the exact same and don’t know what to do. My pregnancy was horrible!! And a lot of it was pain I was put through and emotion stress that it’s hard to have good memories of it. My boy is 7 months and i don’t want him growing up in the environment our relationship is atm we live together so I’m going to go to my mums for a week or so and see how it goes. It causes loneliness because you’re so used to that person. I’m going to try my hardest to focus on baby. Drink heaps of water and eat well, go for walks even when I don’t want to, give myself little dates (with Bub of course), make sure I say at least 3 positive things about myself a day. I recommend you do the same thing some things I also heard is podcasts can be helpful for some. It’s hard and I hope you get through this!! Block him on everything accept text message if he wants to be part of the babies life so he can still contact. It’s hard but stay strong mumma xx you got this for your mental health and your baby’s health x

I’m so sorry girl 😢❤️ I know how hard it is to separate from your bd especially while pregnant. But I promise you it does pass and you come out so much better and stronger in the end. Honestly I cried and cried until my baby was like 6 months. I still spent time with mine and went out with him I felt like I couldn’t be without him. But my baby 9 months now and I can say I do not think about that man at all! And I am so happy!! I feel free for the first time. Texting him is only restarting any healing progress you’ve made. I promise all of the depression will pass. Especially when you finally see your baby girl! You have all the time in the world to find a better man who will treat you how you deserve. God is removing your bd because he knows there is better waiting for you! In the meanwhile focus on you and your daughter, find your happiness and hobbies. Do not waste any more time trying to talk to that man, you know it doesn’t end up well with him.

Talking to him is only stunting your growth. And your daughter needs you to grow and heal so you can be there for her at your fullest! And now your standards will be much higher, you won’t ignore red flags, you won’t put up with bullshit, you’ll know how important it is to find a family man with the same values as you. Cause you have to set that example of a good man for your daughter! And when time is right, this good man will happen for you! But in the meanwhile do not let temporary pain distract you and take your energy away from enjoying your pregnancy and your daughter’s first years. It’s my biggest regret 💔. Their first year goes by so fast please don’t let that man have you too sad to fully enjoy it. I promise you there will come a day when you are so over it and so happy you won’t even believe it. Don’t be hard on yourself about being depressed either, your baby will be just fine. Focus on your daughter, God is removing all else that doesn’t matter.

@Melody this is great advice. I went through the same. Still am now my baby is 13 months old and I’m now making moves to get out although it’s not easy as I live 4 hours from home. I’m going to also do what you have advised here but in terms of the podcasts do you have any that you can recommend?
