I am having a shit time at work and a difficult pregnancy (hyperemesis) - have felt sick for 4 months (as well as much vomiting of course) and am completely useless around the house. I cry all the time in front of dcs and am constantly thinking about killing myself though I know I wouldn't because I know that would be worse for the children than even a completely useless mother. I self-harm a little bit (just a little bit of cutting) which really helps with the pressure.
I know this is all not sensible behaviour but thing is, as the problem is about more than just me being down, surely if I take anti-depressants the problems will still be there? And I know lots of doctors don't like prescribing things in pregnancy. Or if I got anti-depressants would that make me able to float over all the problems and not mind?

If you are depressed for an actual reason is it still worth taking anti-depressants?
