Feeling trapped

I'm currently 32weeks pregnant and I feel so depressed. I have suffered with anxiety depression for about 5years but been controlled with medication. I was told to come off them which I slowly have done over the past few months. I moved (with my 4year old) 6months ago to a new town to be with my partner of 2years. All I want to do is run away.....I feel so miserable. I don't know whether it's because I've come off my tablets or if I'm genuinely unhappy. My partner doesn't understand my depression and makes me feel so alone on a daily basis......i don't know if I feel the same about him anymore. I have no family and friends in my new location and travelling for 1.5 hours to see anyone is horrible. I'm convinced I should just pack everything and move back home to where things are familiar but I'm terrified. It was such an upheaval first time I don't know if I can cope with it all at 7months pregnant but I also can't cope feeling miserable everyday. Any advise would be great x

I am sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. I can't offer you any professional advice but my personal advice would be to talk to someone. Speak to your midwife during your prenatal visits, or your GP. You are not the only person battling with anxiety and depression, there is help available. Just tell someone. x
