I'm really struggling. I have a history of depression and anxiety and I'm not sure if it's creeping back. I have good days and bad days. Lately this loneliness has been killing me. I moved to my husband's town last October and got pregnant in March.
I have no friends here. My only means of human interaction is going to work. I had to restart my whole life when I moved here and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in January. Came off the anti depressants in March because doctor said the less medication I am on the better. It felt quite judgemental and it felt like he really didn't assess whether I needed them or not? I just wanted to do everything right by my baby.
For most part my mood has been okay this pregnancy but lately I just can't help but feel trapped in my own house. I have no reason to stay indoors but yet not motivation to get out. No idea how to meet people. When my husband is home I am fine with his company but I respect he has a life. When he's home he has me, otherwise he has his friends. When he's not home I just feel empty and alone and the silence kills me because all I can hear is my negative thoughts. I don't know what to do? I'm scared of it getting worse and coming back to haunt me when the baby is here.
Before I moved here I had a big family and was very close to my siblings and not a moment in my day went by where I felt alone. I just don't know how to combat this.. I feel really sad right now. Sorry for the long post.
