Not sure how many people are in the same boat as me but just wondering if theres any other ladies who are dealing with depression whilst being pregnant? Im 21 weeks today and my meds have been reduced from 150mg per day to 50mg per day.
Up until this last couple of weeks iv felt like iv been coping well with it all but my down days have started to become more frequent and im struggling to keep things in check.
My best friend thinks i should go see my go about raising my dose a little again but i really dont want to if i can help it, the thought of doing that makes me feel like a bit of a failure which i already do enough.
Everyone goes on about how amazing pregnancy is but i am really not enjoying it which again makes me feel like im letting myself down.
My work are being total arses to me whether they mean to or not, i work in retail and have basically just been shoved behind a till and forgotten about, i arent allowed to do anything, i arent involved in anything that goes on despite my best efforts and before falling pregnant i was on team leader training but iv since been taken off it 'for my own benefit' i bascally go to work, do a 4 hour shift and then go home again, iv had my hours cut down to mt contracted 12 a week so i no longer qualify for company maternity and am also losing a fair wedge of money at present since before all this i was getting a minimum 16 a week but up to 30.
Im also the last one of my family to have a baby and so basically noone really cares about it at all. I asked my sister to be my birthing partner when i first found out but she basically has no interest in my pregnancy at all and is terrible at replyig to phone calls or txts so im wonderin whether shed even answer when i do go into labour or even want to be there.
Dh has barely any interest, my friends husband gave him a pregnancy book that he found invaluable and he hasnt even bothered to open it. He barely makes any attempts to try and feel the baby move or talk to him.
I just literally feel like im on my own in every sense of the word atm and its really getting to me.
Thankyou for the rant
