prenatal depression
imma FTM at 39 weeks and i’ve been having the worst prenatal depression lately. i think about ending my life almost all the time after i give birth and i have no one to talk to about it bc my bf gets mad and i don’t really have any friends/support system right now. i feel like a horrible mom for feeling this way and i feel even worse thinking about doing that to myself knowing id leave him in this world without a mom, but i just can’t stand the thought of being alive anymore. i never really wanted kids before and i am happy and excited at times, but sometimes i feel like that is gonna effect how i am as a mom or make my postpartum depression worse. idk what to do bc i truly just cannot see myself staying alive anymore. i have a plan for it after my birth and hes old enough to not necessarily need me anymore but i feel so much guilt and i dont wanna leave my baby..

@Tiff thank you i’ll try that tmr!
Honeslty i felt like this throughout my whole pregnancy! Was a real battle but I went on medication and defiently made me feel better after a while. I do have little blips still, but there is help! Take the meds, see a therapist etc. When baby comes it might just change your whole outlook, but trust me it may not feel like it! But you can do it and wil get through this, you just have to do the steps ❤️

I had it bad right before I gave birth too. Sounds crazy but sitting outside in the sun helped so much. I would leave my phone in the house and just go outside and sit.
