Depression

Hiya, I'm a 21 year old who's suffered with depression for a very long time.. I got sectioned end of last year and got help and was a lot better because I finally knew what was wrong. I suffer from unstable emotional personality disorder. When I found out I was pregnant I was over the moon (until dad left) which made me feel crap. But I lifted myself up and thought I don't need a man to raise a child.

But now I am 5 months and in the last couple of weeks I have been feeling so crap about myself, and if I will be a good mum, if I can afford it with only working 23hrs a week. And so much more has started to worry me. And tonight it hit me the most and a lot and I started to look at adoption, because I feel it would be better for my baby. But at the same time I know it will destroy me on the inside and my family.

I'm just not sure what to do really or how to cope and how to feel or even why I feel this way. I know not having friends impacts me a lot, and people who give me judgemental looks and comments doesn't help either. I just want to be able to feel good about myself but it's so hard. I was just wondering if anyone else felt this way or feel this way. And how they coped and got through it

Speak to your midwife about getting in touch with the perinatal midwife team. They're there to give help to people who struggle with their mental health and can support you. They've been fantastic for me in both pregnancies.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. Depression is a bitch. You will be a great mum xx
