I don't see the point in being around anymore..

[hadenoughnow88]

27 weeks pregnant and I just do not want to be around anymore. I feel like if I wasn't here it wouldn't make a difference to anyone's lives, in fact it would probably improve them as I'm just a waste of space.
I'm not working as my hours got reduced to only 3 a week after COVID, I've been so sick with this pregnancy that I wish wasn't even happening, my relationship isn't great, my cousin died suddenly last year and she was like a sister and I just can't get over it, my parents like to make it clear how I do fuck all for my son and they do more for him, partner always telling me how I'm a bad mum. He's taken my son to Cyprus to stay with his parents for 2 weeks and I'm just in the house on my own crying and thinking if I was to end it all it would just end all this pain and everyone would be better off.
I just think no one needs me around.
I can't see a way out of this shitty life.

Make an appointment with your GP and tell them how you are feeling.

Hi hadenoughnow88,

We're really sorry you're feeling so low.

We just wanted to add a link to our Mental Health resources as there are many organisations listed which could give you some more support in real life. The Samaritans are there for you too, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123, any time.

You may well be experiencing pre-natal depression, so we'd urge you to take a look at an organisation called PANDAS Foundation which was set up to support women struggling with pre-natal and post-natal depression. Their webpage is here and they have a free helpline, available Monday – Sunday 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776. They also have various support groups around the country, please click here for further information.

As SoupDragon has said, it's worth getting an appointment with your GP to talk through how you're feeling too.

We really hope things start to feel a bit less bleak once your son is home. In the meantime, please keep talking here.

If you can't see your GP soon enough then contact Samaritans or present at A&E. I'll probably get flamed for suggesting A & E but the sooner you talk to someone the quicker you will feel better.

Please get help ASAP.
Best of luck.

Hi Op ,

I’m sorry you are feeling this way and I definitely agree with the other posters that talking to your Gp could be something that would be helpful to yourself? And be kind to yourself , and take it easy Op ,also you mentioned you were expecting? So in addition to talking to your gp about how you feel , maybe you could also join some mums and baby groups? Talk to other expecting mums so you don’t feel so alone? Sendings hugs to you at this time

Hi OP, are you ok?

I'm pregnant too and suffer from depression and know how hard things can be x
