Hormones!!!!!!!

[lucyolivia99]

I'm 16 weeks and right now my hormones are all over the place. One minute I'm positive and the next I'm crying and refuse to leave my house. Haven't got any support apart from mum and dad and I'm only 18 with my first child. When will these mood swings stop I can't take much more 😢😢😢😢

Oh dear... I've only had one melt down so far - but I did randomly cried for hours and it didn't make any sense... And gave me a splitting headache. I think it's worth accepting that it's one of those things with pregnancy and just letting yourself feel rubbish at times.

Yeah I know it's just one of those things but I feel so alone. It's not fair that my ex gets to walk away and live a happy life while I'm sat at home damaged. If it wasn't for him constantly abusing me and ruining my mental state I would be fine. My doctors are putting me on anti depressants but I feel like they will just make me worse. I just want my little baby with me now so I know it was all worth it

It sound like you have actual things to cry about. Not just pregnancy hormones.

It's OK to be sad and cry about your situation, but if it's getting too much ask for help - your parents, GP, mental health helpline.

See if the doctor can send you for therapy as well as you’re in a very bad place mentally.

It's ok to cry and feel rubbish on those days. It does sound like you've been through a lot with your Ex. Just remember your never alone, there's always someone to talk to wether it's your midwife, doctor. They are there to help and support you.

Thank you for all your supportive comments ladies, however I just feel so alone. My mum and dad have been together since they were 16 and have 6 children together and seem to be happy. I just feel like they don't understand how I feel because they've never gone through it there selves. And yes I have tried telling them how I feel but they just tell me to get on with stuff and this is what I chose. All I want to do is stay in my room alone. Am I ever going to feel better? Because going through all this has completely changed me as a person. I'm so bitter about everything. I was so excited for my first baby and he's taken all that joy away from me and it's not fair

Yes one day you will feel better. You're 18, in your first trimester and single. These are all hard things.

One day you will be 28 with a brilliant little girl or boy and a life you have built for the two of you and perhaps someone special you have met along the way. Maybe you will have another child, a job you've dreamed of or something you can't even imagine yet. You will look back and remember how shitty it was right now and how brave you were.

So yes it will get better.

It will get better. Just wait until
You see and hold your baby for the first time, most amazing moment ever. Maybe try and talk to your parents again, make them listen to you. You need all the support you can
