Can anyone tell me how they got the worst time in their life? I’m at my lowest ever and can only see darkness

Just that really. Broken relationship. Blaming myself. Pregnant and feel exhausted and scared for the future. Anxiety is spiralling. I have had to cut hours at work. I am desperately alone.

Ive had bad times before but I am in darkness this time.

I did loads of self help and learning through reading and audiobooks and generally just improved myself and gave myself higher standards for everything. I also boosted my mood through exercise, eating well and being outside.

Always moving forwards thank you for your post. It’s really helpful. All the best OP I’m going through an awful time at the minute so just to let you know you’re not on your own and hopefully things will get better xx

I just wanted to say Hello. I've powered through all my hard times and it really was not smart.

I'd sit down with pen and paper and make a list of everything I have to be grateful for (especially keeping you and this baby healthy). Then I might make a second list of things that need to be practically addressed - where will we live, will I be working?
I also think I would reacquaint myself with mother and baby groups ( yes probably not allowed to use that term now).
Make sure your midwife knows you are having a hard time.
Just plan your days around good self care and seek out wise people to talk things through with. I know it seems dark, but it is going to be OK.
