Hi, im 29 weeks pregnant with my second. I struggled a bit after having my first but was during pregnancy.

This time round i feel so down and hopeless, I'm trying my best but barely holding it together. Dh works long hours , so I'm finding myself alone alot when my ds is at school. I don't really have any friends id consider close. My close friends have moved away and I have no contact with my family. Midwife referred me to various agencies at 12 weeks and Ive still heard nothing. I live in rural Cornwall so mental health facilities are lacking to say the least.
I go on mat leave soon and i have no idea how im going to cope being at home 24/7, actually dreading it, even more worried when baby arrives🙁

Just wondering if anyone is feeling similar? i feel so alone

So sorry that you're suffering and feeling unsupported.

Have you had anyone from the referrals get in touch with you yet?

The mental health team have been in touch you get 6 30min sessions then thats it. I completed the sessions, felt no different and bow on mat leave cannot afford £50-£60 private sessions. Im not knocking the free help i received but it didnt help and im still in the same position now due in less that 6 weeks! 😞
