Anyone struggling with prenatal anxiety / depression want to connect?

Just that really.

I’ve had it basically the whole time and days where I can barely get out of bed. It’s lonely and intense - I wish I could change how I feel but I can’t. I just have 9 days to go now and just I hope I feel more level once by beautiful baby arrives… it’s crazy as some days I can feel completely like myself again and I think I am better and then it hits me again…

if anyone feels the same and wants to chat and support each other then please get in touch or comment… xx

Sorry you are experiencing this.

Not quite as extreme, but ever since I hit 16 weeks a few days ago I’ve been extremely teary and small things can send me into a spiral of sadness and not wanting to get up, doesn’t helps that I’ve also got bad heartburn. Are you doing much to distract yourself ? Hopefully it long now until your baby is here x

Yes well I’m super stressed about which secondary school to apply for and also moving house in time so that’s taking up a lot of head space and causing stress an anxiety… the joys! 🤣

@Boohoo123456 Oh that does sound like a lot on and things you can’t avoid!
im trying to distract myself today by looking for cute baby outfits online 🤣

How are you both feeling now?

Hey @littlefox90 how are you doing? How far along are you? I struggle with anxiety so am getting a bit worried now about the 20 week scan (in about 2 weeks time). I’m trying to think positively and find distractions but it’s hard not too worry x

I can understand that. It's a shame all appointments take so long as it gives time to get worked up.
I feel awful, my anxiety is crippling as is my morning sickness 😩

Forgot to add I'm 11 weeks tomorrow
