I haven't been so sure wether to post or not but I'm at breaking point Sad

I'm 10 weeks pregnant with a much longed for baby with my Dp .
I also have a privately fostered Ds who is 5 whom I fostered from an immediate family member .

This family member is making my life a living hell and since finding out I were pregnant they have made it their mission to ensure I either lose the baby or have an abortion Sad

I suffer from Severe depression & Insomnia , which I were taking meds for but my GP stopped them on finding I were pregnant .

I don't know what to do or even how to feel , I'm supposed to be happy and looking forward to the future instead I dread every new day and I just want to leave and never come back Sad

I'm back to having suicidal thoughts as well & I'm just stuck at a dead end with no way out Sad

I juste want to be happy

Oh sweetheart Sad. I have no advice but bumping for you so hopefully someone with experience here will come along.

Have you told your DP how you are feeling? Have you spoken to your GP?

I guess there is no way to cut contact with the family member if they are your DS's bio parent...

Dp knows but their is nothing he can do to help .

GP is as useful as a chocolate teapot tbh

Any chance of seeing a different GP? There must be some pregnancy safe treatments for depression surely... I'm afraid I can't help either but will bump again for you.

My usual GP is off sick so it's a different stand in GP they have every week

Ah that sounds rubbish. Any idea when your usual GP might be back... or perhaps you can see someone at a different surgery... not ideal I know.

How are you sleeping at the moment? Are you getting out of the house? How's your DS?

I'm sorry I don't know what else to say other than this: things are not the way you perceive them, it is your body chemistry and hormones playing tricks, and you will come out of it one day and feel so much better. That sounds ridiculously trite and it doesn't help you at the moment Sad

I'm having very little sleep atm maybe 2-3 hours of lite sleep a night .

Ds is at his worse as with the all the hassle he is getting so confused so he is constantly acting up (he has suspected Aspergers & ADHD)

I'm going to ring my surgery in the morning n see when my GP is back as I can't be doing with another newly graduated stand in that has to Google everything I say Shock Angry

thanks for talking to me Smile
