I'm sorry about the self-pitying nature of this post but I am reaching the end of my tether. I'm 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I feel like I'm in a constant spiral of guilt. I am always sick (feeling and being) and I'm not giving enough head space to my job, and my DH is having to do everything at home.
At the beginning of this year I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression and I came off my meds when I knew I was pregnant. I know it was an incredibly difficult time for DH and I feel like I'm putting him back in that place again. I miserable and anxious because I'm not feeling well, and he keeps asking me to do things I just don't feel up to doing and then I know he's so disappointed. He's told me he can't cope if I go down again, and I believe him, but I don't know what to do. I feel like such a failure. He is much more disciplined than me and does most of the housework anyway, so I constantly feeling like I'm not pulling my weight, but this guilt is unbearable. Any advice??
