Hello, I am 20 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby. For the past 2 weeks, I have struggled with my mental health. A lot has been going on outside of the pregnancy and I feel like I just can't do right by others.
A few stand out issues;
- I am a teacher, 1 class staff is off sick and the other I have had to raise concerns about. That person is no longer talking to me and is making the workplace awful. I don't want to be there anymore.
- My partner just doesn't seem to register when I am struggling. Even when I say it. At the time, he says all of the right things but there are no follow on actions. No checking in on me etc. No TLC.
- Baby has been referred to cardiology due to a half-sibling having heart complications. My partner has major anxiety (which is understandable) and I am trying my hardest to support him. At the hospital appointments I am focussed on him and his needs that I forget about my own.
I just want someone to stop and think "how is (name) feeling?" 😔
