5 months pregnant intrusive thoughts

[Tattyteddy2]

Hi all, not exactly sure what it is I'm hoping to gain from sharing this...maybe just some relief?

I'm currently 5 months pregnant and for those 5 months I have mostly felt hopeless, worthless and sad. Lately it seems to have gotten worse as I'm experiencing intrusive images of taking my own life. These keep me awake at night so I feel very tired in the day.

I have a wonderful DD, but I'm not happy in the relationship I'm in and can see no way out.

Financially I'm struggling and my role at work is uncertain. I no longer recognise myself. I simply exist.

Please contact your Midwife, GP or health visitor asap. They are there till help and support you. Contact the Samaritans to speak to someone while to wait to hear back from the GP

PP is right also reach out to woman's aid for relationship advice.
